In this episode, we discuss a few resources we\\u2019ve found useful for our own professional development. And how we use them with our grad students, of course!

Resources we discuss:

James Clear, Atomic habits, as interviewed by Brene Brown

Goals are about winning the game, and systems are about continuing to play the game. It is not about a single achievement; it is about endless refinement and continuous improvement.\\xa0

Brene Brown, Dare to Lead (book, or podcast)

We\\u2019ve learned a lot from Brene in the last several months. This is one of Mary\\u2019s favorites.

Clifton Strengths (Gallup)

One of Steph\\u2019s favorites. A variety of podcasts, articles and books are available.\\xa0

Figure out your top strengths so you can adapt your processes to get more energy and productivity out of your life. Strengths can be a great tool for mentoring students as well.

We\\u2019ve leaned into Strengths to open discussions about well-being at work. Here are some great resources.

Your digital mentor podcast

Prof. Jeffrey McDonnell, author of \\u201cNavigating an Academic Career: A Brief Guide for PhD Students, Postdocs and Early Career Faculty\\u201d on writing skills.

Mary liked this one for the 1 hour work week concept in particular. But there are many great concepts in the episode and he points to a lot of other great resources.\\xa0
