Postdocs: Introduction to Coaching and Mentoring New
Do the terms ‘coaching’ and ‘mentoring’ intrigue you? Do you want to understand how they can be part of your future progression? There are many opportunities and programmes across this university for postdocs to get involved in coaching and mentoring in different ways. The overall purpose is to help postdocs understand the importance of being coached and mentored, and/or being a coach or a mentor. This short workshop introduces these two methods to explore what they are and how they can be helpful to postdocs. It will also direct you to where you can access these opportunities at Cambridge University.
Outcomes:
- Describe the terms ‘coaching’ and ‘mentoring’ in more detail.
- Differentiate between the two and identify situations for each that are specifically relevant to postdocs.
- Compose a way forward to plan for coaching and mentoring to be part of your personal, professional and career progression.
