Listen "Don't Do that project!"
Episode Synopsis
It's tempting to do the project just because a mentor is offering it to you. But is it the project you actually want? In this episode, we explore the importance of being discerning when selecting research projects throughout your academic career. Key Points Discussed:Importance of Selectivity: Don't indiscriminately accept every research project that crosses your path. Take a more discerning approach.Starting with Your Vision: First define the long-term impact you hope to make in your field. Consider who will benefit from your research.Choosing the Right Mentor: Rather than considering reputation alone, carefully choose mentors based on their ability to help you achieve your desired goals, Believing in Abundance: Shift from a scarcity mindset to one that recognizes abundance. Understand that opportunities, projects, and mentors are available for those willing to create space for their true desires.Links and Resources Mentioned:Simon Sinek's book: "Start With Why"Call to Action: If you're seeking more insights to succeed in your role as a clinician researcher, sign up for the Clinician Researcher Podcast's weekly newsletter.
