Mentoring: Clear communication and great expectations
Monday, March 13, 9-10 am
sign-up http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/3213695
Location: DCAL (in Baker Library)



Good mentoring relies on developing a variety of skills. For postdocs
and graduate students, some of the most important skills to focus on are
setting expectations and developing clear communication. In this
workshop, we will use case studies and discussion to address
communication styles, effective strategies for modifying one’s own style,
how to set clear expectations, and how to provide and derive the
benefits of a strong mentoring relationship. Relying heavily on material
from the National Research Mentoring Network, we will explore and
develop our own ability to communicate clearly as we learn to understand
the pleasures and pitfalls of good mentoring.

Participants in this workshop will learn how to:

•Provide constructive feedback
•Identify different communication styles
•Use multiple strategies for improving communication
•Align mentee and mentor expectations
