Significant Impact: from K Award to Your First Big R01

How Unconscious Decision-Making Can Derail Your Career (Revisited)


Listen Later

We’re revisiting a topic introduced early in the life of the podcast. It’s a topic that’s important enough to stay on the mind of researchers all throughout their careers.

Unconscious Decision-Making.

Why does conscious and unconscious decision-making matter at this specific point in your research career?

 The easy answer?

Because your whole career is based on a series of choices! 

Every yes and every no has an impact on what gets done and what gets pushed to the side. 

Say yes to the wrong thing, and you risk giving all your time and energy to something that doesn’t fulfill you or your ultimate goal of getting funded and seeing your career take off.

So how do you prevent unconscious decisions from taking you way off the R01 course?

Listen in to this week’s episode as I share three reasons why unconscious decision-making gets in the way and how you can prevent it from happening in your career. 

Tune in to this episode of the podcast to discover:

  • Why every yes comes with a no (and why that matters more than you think)
  • Why it’s a head vs. heart issue
  • Systems to help you make intentional decisions

Listen in and start letting your heart lead your career choices!
