I really enjoyed our new interview with @scholarculturebecause I am taking my career conversations project very seriously and I would like to present it online as well as possible. 

So, who better to ask then Christine Streeter from Scholarculture who grew her Instagram to more than 10,000 followers and has really good quality content?I learned a lot from her and so will you, if you are into blogging, social media and feel like you have something to say that the world might be ready to hear.

I few weeks ago I had a meeting with my supervisor because I have a plan on how to get ahead in the job market and I needed her approval. Luckily, as always, she was super helpful and immediately agreed to my plan. This also makes me feel quite confident that it is a strategy. So, in case you are curious what is my strategy to find a job after my PhD effortlessly, then I hope you enjoy the episode

I am so excited about this interview with Plants and Pipettes. For all who don’t know them, you are missing out on a quirky, friendly, fun and intelligent podcast and blog about plant science.

 I am the last person who thought I could get excited about plants but even I got sucked into their plant universe and now I know for instance that plants are not necessarily dead only because they look dead – which is very encouraging for me as a plant mother :D

In today’s interview we talk about how they have built up their blog and how it feels to first put your voice out there and hope that the world also thinks that you have something valuable to say.

 We also talk about how to work in a team in a side-hustle and how to find the perfect business partner for yourself. This interview was so insightful for me and I hope that you will also enjoy it. You can really tell in the end when I had my eureka moment about how to find a business partner.

You can watch the episode on Youtube or listen to it on iTunes, Stitcher or your podcast player of choice ;)

 Are you also interested in a career in science communication or do you think that science communication is important in general? Let me know in the comments below.

I had the pleasure to interview many high achievers with a PhD and some of them were outstandingly successful, like Nobel Prize winner Jacques Dubochet or CEOs of biotech or nanotech companies. You know, this type of person, where you are already surprised that they answer, let alone agree to be interviewed.

After a while, I noticed a thing that they all had in common and I started to think, if this might be the key to their success. Then I realised, in order to be consistent in this one thing, you need to have 4 underlying skills and those underlying skills indeed lead to great success.

In case you are interested, what this skill is, check out our new episode.

Also, I am curious, if you also think I am onto something. So, let me know your opinion in the comments below.

Have you ever wondered, how to spot a bad boss before you enter a job? In today’s episode I will give you 3 tips on how to spot a bad boss early so that your new job will be a breeze ;)

 

I was recently contacted by a girl who had been bullied by her supervisor so much that she was contemplating to take her life. This has shocked me a lot and I have been thinking ever since what I can do to help people in the same situation.  At the end I realised, that I cannot change a system where bullying is tolerated. But I can help people to not enter such a system to begin with.

 

We cannot change other people’s behaviour. What we can change though, is our own actions. We might not be able to change our boss but if we learn how to spot a bad boss early, then we can certainly change our life for the better. This is why today I am presenting you with my TOP 3 tips on how to spot a bad boss during a job interview.

Hello everyone!

Long time no see! We have been working a lot behind the scenes and here is why: We will reshape the podcast and make it even nicer and more appealing to you. 

For this, me and the Graduate Campus have hired an amazing editor who will also restructure the website and our Instagram. 

So, in today's episode, I will be talking about why I do the podcast, what I do, when I'm not podcasting and what to expect in the future. 

If time allows, I might even upload some solo episodes to Youtube, so that you have both audio and video. 

I hope so much, that you will enjoy the future changes and I'm already excited to share them with you!

Wishing you a great day and an awesome weekend!

Best, 

Stefanie

Hello everyone,

First and foremost, Happy Birthday to my father!

In today's episode I will share one of the first ever interviews that I have recorded. The purpose of the interview was actually to have a sample that could start a collaboration with the Graduate Campus of Unil. Today I am finally taking it out of my drawer so that everyone can benefit.

The interview guest is, hands down, one of the best guests I have ever had because he is my father. It is amazing, how much his mindset has shaped my decisions and ultimately shaped this podcast.

My father has had an great career and currently is the head of wheel development at a big car manufacturer (not sure, if I am allowed to mention the name here). But actually he started with very few career chances and my grandmothers hope for him was actually to work at the counter at a post office. Luckily he aimed higher!

If you are curious about his mindset, you can listen to the episode here.

Also the episode is, as always, available on your podcast player of choice.

This episode is definitely closest to my heart, so I hope you'll enjoy it as well ;)

Hello everyone, 

today we have a great and inspiring guest: Claude Garcia

I saw Claude at a TED conference in Zurich and was totally blown away by his talk, even though I had zero interest in his research topic in the beginning. 

Claude works in forest management and has projects all over the world. What blew my mind was how he communicates about the importance of forest preservation, so that he is actually able to make a difference and influence decisions and behaviours of politicians and large companies. 

So, this episode is worth listening to for everyone who has a goals and struggles to communicate about it in a way people listen and change their behaviours. 

If you want to learn more about Claude's work, here are some useful links:
