Come learn about how to leverage this opportunity to maximize your career exploration and job search.
ACHIEVE: Habits & Mindset Impact Your Growth
April 7
Tuesday, April 7 at 12 Noon
Building on our previous session where we mapped your career trajectory using the ACHIEVE framework, we are now shifting our focus from the "what" of your goals to the "how" of your
daily execution. Here we dive deep into the internal systems that determine whether
an IDP becomes a reality or just another forgotten document. To move beyond theory
and into actionable self-awareness, we will utilize two core tools: the to decode your current behavioral patterns and Carol Dwecks mindset assessment from
her book, Mindset (will be sent to registrants). Together, these will help you identify the cognitive
roadblocks and habitual shortcuts that are either accelerating your graduate education
and research or holding you back from your next major breakthrough.
