Podcast guest Andrew Millar shares how his first boss taught him not to ask his team to do anything he wouldn't do himself. The same applies to leading a team through change. If leaders are visible and approachable and collaborative there will be better outcomes all round. Listen buff.ly/3ETk8B1

In the latest podcast Andrew Millar and I talk about how mis-communicated change can make people feel deeply unsafe. If it becomes a battle, both sides have lost. Keeping those communication channels open is essential. #researchadjacent #navigatingchange

I'm with Andrew Millar on this one. Like so many things in life, if we approach change with openess and curiosity it can take a lot of the sting out of it. It gives you the chance to take back some control. For more tips on navigating change buff.ly/3ETk8B1

Another brilliant analogy to add to my collection! I love @jennybiddybrady.bsky.social comparing #researchadjacent professionals to bike nut-tighteners. If they don't show up for work then bikes, however beautiful, will fall apart. All hail nut-tighteners! All hail research-adjacent professionals!

Imposter moments seem to be really common for #researchadjacent professionals. It's no surprise that working with highly-qualified and esteemed experts can make us feel we don't know enough sometimes. Listen for @jennybiddybrady.bsky.social's advice on navigating #impostersyndrome lnkd.in/d-UX-9hj

Let's get this straight - imposter moments (aka #impostersyndrome ) are a completely normal part of being a human. People who never have the odd wobble are probably narcissists. That's not something to aspire to! 😲 Listen to the podcast for @jennybiddybrady.bsky.social's tips and strategies

You can't be what you can't see! #PhD students who are surrounded by academics can struggle to imagine any other options. And a shortage of expert research careers advisers like @holby83.bsky.social means that many are not getting help to consider alternatives. Listen lnkd.in/e5ACwszB #phdcareers

This astonishing statistic is what first drew me into latest guest Rachel Reeds's world. I couldn't quite believe it so I had to go and look it up for myself - and it's true! 😲 Although some universities do report numbers of professional staff, the vast majority don't! #researchadjacent #HE

Tackling the invisibility of research-adjacent roles was a strong theme in my conversation with Rachel Reeds and has always been at the heart of why this podcast exists. Whether you prefer the analogy of plankton or glue, without these roles the entire system just collapses.
