Why is it that regardless of major, minor or specialty our education system remains obsessed with teaching students the \u201cwhat\u201d but not the \u201chow\u201d?\xa0\nIf we\u2019re lucky, students leave school prepared with tools of their trade but still missing the skill set to put those tools into action, adapt for changing circumstances and/or convince someone they need that tool in the first place.\xa0\nFortunately, some professors (today\u2019s guest included) have recognized this disparity and dedicated their career to correcting it. Dr. Katie Heinrich is a Professor of Exercise Behavioral Science and Director of the Functional Intensity Training Lab in the Department of Kinesiology at Kansas State University. With over 20 years in academia, she\u2019s devoted her time and research to the study of community, mentorship, and people skills - all which she believes are required for making science actionable.\xa0\n\xa0\nIn this episode we cover:\n\nHow am I coming across? A guide to metacommunication in 2021\xa0\n\n\nWhat NOT to do when building a community\n\n\nPro\u2019s and con\u2019s of the term \u201csoft skills\u201d\xa0\n\n\nTips for writing a great email and finding a mentor\n\n\nHow and when to say no without burning bridges\xa0\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for more resources on how to find and/or to optimize your approach when reaching out to a mentor, check out artofcoaching.com/findamentor.
