Feeling pulled into every committee, side project, and “quick favor” while trying to make the K-to-R leap? In another of our greatest hits episodes, we explore one of the most powerful tools you can deploy in your research career.
We start by naming the real friction: early career women are socialized to say yes and keep the peace, even when it derails the work that matters most. Then we get concrete. A well-defined North Star sets standards for what earns a yes, reframes no as integrity, and turns scattered opportunities into a focused path. You’ll hear how we translate values and mission into decision filters you can apply to service requests, collaborations, and grant invites without second-guessing yourself.
