In this workshop, we will discuss non-technical skills that are critical for a successful Ph.D. journey and professional career. Topics will focus on personal and interpersonal skills, including how to give and receive feedback effectively and build a positive relationship with your advisors. We will showcase how these skills can be used to address real scenarios/challenges encountered during the Ph.D. journey. In addition to providing resources and guidance and how to use these skills, the workshop will also include a practical and experiential learning component, where students will have an opportunity to practice specific skills.
