BTS01E10 How to Say 'No' in Your Day-To-Day Work (Time Management), Career Context Matters, Your No Committee/No Folder, Chronic Undervaluation Aug 11, 2021

Show notes

To be a successful academic or professional, it takes more than teaching, research, or clinical skills -- today's psychology professionals were not taught everything they really needed to know in graduate school. The PsychSessions podcast Beyond Teaching strives to fill that gap. We chat about all the topics we needed to know about to be successful but we didn't know to ask about. When we don't have the expertise among us, we go out and find someone. Enjoy Season 1 Spring/Summer 2021 and keep listening for more.
