Listening to our conversation will prompt your thinking:
Do you have a regular assessment of your resources and support system (for work and home) to maintain your resilience?
How are you broadening your own perspectives through experiencing different contexts (e.g., different countries, various professional settings, meeting other types of professionals than just your usual bubble)?
What was your last “ah ah moment” that put a buzz in your research life?
What magic could happen if you started thinking differently about how you are recruiting your team? Could using more evaluation of Emotional Intelligence in your recruitment strategy change for the better the dynamics and effectiveness of your team?
“Sometimes you really need to let it go and, then something really encouraging would happen back”
