What Becomes Possible When You Start Thinking Like a PI


Listen Later

What becomes possible when you stop thinking like a mentee and start thinking like a PI?

In this episode, I’m diving deep into what happens when you make the crucial shift in your research career from mentee to PI. This transition isn’t just about changing titles—it’s about transforming how you approach your work, your confidence, and your path forward. I share observations from working with graduates of K to R Essentials to highlight how this shift opens up new levels of confidence, clarity, and purpose in your day-to-day career.

Whether you're grappling with imposter syndrome or unsure of how to pursue your own research interests, this episode will help you understand the power of thinking like a PI. You’ll discover how aligning your work with your expertise and priorities not only improves your research impact but also brings more ease and peace into your daily life.

Tune in to this episode to learn:

  • Why confidence in your expertise is the key to thinking like a PI

  • How having the courage to pursue your own research interests accelerates progress

  • The clarity that comes from having a clear sense of purpose and direction in your career

  • How focusing on your priorities allows you to move forward more efficiently

  • The peace that comes from owning your path and trusting yourself

Join me as we explore how moving from mentee to PI can transform your research career, and how you can start making that shift today.
