Welcome to a new episode of Beyond the Thesis With Papa PhD, where we dive deep into the world of personal and interpersonal effectiveness with Professor Sue Ashford of the University of Michigan.
In this enlightening conversation, Sue shares insights from her recent book, “The Power of Flexing,” revealing strategies for self-leadership and growth that are applicable both inside and outside academia. Whether you’re a graduate student finding your path, a career professional seeking growth, or simply someone intrigued by the art of self-improvement, this episode promises to illuminate the path to enhancing your day-to-day effectiveness. Join host David Mendes as he explores with Sue Ashford the subtle art of becoming more approachable, the process of translating scientific research into practical wisdom for a broad audience, and overcoming the universal challenges of feeling isolated and undervalued in your career.
