Mentorships and forward planning are valuable professional development activities for any level of employee. In the UNC SILS mentorship program, peers are connected to support their professional and personal life in graduate school. Lynnee Argabright and Florence Sloan will share learning outcomes about their mentorship experience, in particular about setting up trust and initiating forward planning activities and strategies for introverts. This interactive workshop will walk participants through an activity to pair their individual skills with their goals, and begin working on an action plan that uses these skills. This can be an individual activity, but collaboration in this activity greatly enhances its value, especially as interdisciplinary perspectives can propose new ways of one's combining skills.
