Join the Beyond the Thesis Skool community! Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Beyond the Thesis With Papa PhD! I took some time in the middle of my family vacations to record a very short minisode and send you my 2025 wishes of a year full of enriching conversations!Listen through and you will also find a great reading recommendation for this coming year and a call for listener 2025 wishes! Episode Transcript Welcome to Beyond the Thesis with Papa PhD, the podcast that delves into the diverse and impactful roles scientists can play beyond the lab. With me, David Mendes. Hi. David Mendes here and I hope you've had a great holiday break and that 2025 is starting, in the best way possible for you. I've been on break with my family. My kids are still on vacation and so I'm taking a little time to say hi, to wish you a happy 2025 full of the best projects, full of the best results and also to share my wish for you for this coming year. I myself am betting heavily this year on really investing in networking, in meeting and talking with more people outside my, let's say, my comfort zone, outside my immediate circle, and I really, really hope that you can do the same. It's really easy to go through a year so fast and talk to the same, you know, dozen people who are around us in the lab. But it is really, really important for you who are a burgeoning scientist, a burgeoning researcher to expand your network. And meaning also, not only to expand your network in your domain, but to expand the the diversity that exists in your network. Meet people from government, you know, from policy, meet people from industry, get to know how they got the job they got, get to know how you can contribute. It's gonna be more and more important for you to be able to know what's happening outside the walls of university because those places are probably where you are going to eventually land professionally and you really want to land there knowing the terrain or at least having some knowledge of the terrain already. And there's no better way of doing it than talking with people who are who are there, who've been there 5 years, 10 years, who have the same or or whoever Jason, Jason profiles to yours scientifically and to hear their stories of how they got there. I am going to I'm not at the same stage buying, but I'm going to try and do the same, with the podcast, for example, And I I really, really wish for you that this year that's that's starting is gonna be filled with surprising, interesting, enriching, and real and human conversations that will lead you to have a better and better grasp on what is out there professionally for you, but more importantly, where you feel that you are going to fit once you get your degree or or where you're going to fit once you you, you know, finish whichever professional pivot you are in right now. For me, one of the ways I'm going to do this is to get closer to you, the listener. And the first way that I'm doing this, I've just created at the end of last year, a community on Skool.com. It's easy to find. You go to skool.com/paphpd and the community is there. It's a burgeoning, small community of people like you trying to figure out their, you know, the next chapter for their career, be it because they're finishing a degree or because they're pivoting after a first or second job after their their degree. But like I said, my goal with the community is to be able to talk directly with you, and that's why one of the things I do on school is to have regular live sessions, each week, 3 times a week. So you you get to talk directly with me, with other people if they're there too, but you get direct access to me. But also, the other thing that I'm doing there is I'm creating some free courses that I'm publishing there and there only, plus the community is going to have priority in accessing other training or mentoring that I am going to be rolling out this yea...

In this last stretch of season 5 of Beyond the Thesis with Papa PhD, I am bringing you another treasure from the Papa PhD vault - my great conversation with Terence Milstead, during which he laid out his complete blueprint for a successful career transition from academia into the private sector.Throughout the episode, Terence shares the strategies he used himself, along with the story of his experience pivoting out of his academic career, so be sure to have pen and paper if you are in the process of planning your own transition! Terence Milstead received his Ph.D. in Urban and Regional Planning in 2008 from Florida State University where his research was focused on factors that influence people to invest time, money and emotional energy into upgrading their dwellings, even in unstable housing markets. This question led him to the former Soviet Union on a Fulbright and subsequently to other parts of the globe. But it also ignited a deep interest in qualitative research and the power of deeply listening to others.After completing his Ph.D. Terence started down the academic career path. However, after a few years he realized that a full-time career in academia was not what he had envisioned. So, in 20014, he transitioned to private sector, research-based consulting, relocating to the East Coat. But the path from academic to private-sector consultant was a crooked one and didn't happen overnight. In this episode Terence shares how he came up with a transition plan that ultimately led him to his current position as Head of Qualitative Insights at a global strategic consulting firm based in Washington D.C.

Les perles de sagesse de Pierre-Henri : « De mon point de vue de psychologue, il y a tout un travail à faire auprès des étudiants de repérage de ce qui sonne juste pour eux, mais au niveau corporel – pas dans la tête. Sauf que parfois, en tant que doctorant, on est un peu dissocié, on dirait en hypnose. On est plus dans la tête que dans le corps, donc ça peut être vire piégeant d'écouter davantage sa pensée et son intellect que son corps. Et donc, je rejois tout à fait ton message de prévention – chers auditeurs, écoutez votre intuition, ce que vous ressentez et généralement, ça vous guide, en fait. »« Le stress est utile, donc il faut plutôt le filtrer et dialoguer avec lui, et trouver la juste distance entre ce qui est négatif de ce stress-là. On exorcise le côté négatif et on endorcise le côté ressource, sécurisant, positif. Mais l'astuce, c'est vraiment d'être dans le corps, dans la sensation, dans l'exception du corps qui ressent la sécurité. » Les ressources de cet épisode : Pierre-Henri Garnier | LinkedInPierre-Henri-Garnier | FacebookPierre-Henri Garnier | Site WebLes Doctoriales | Site Web – C'est un Wiki - cherche les Doctoriales organi...

Au-delà du travail, Mrim aime les voyages à l’international et regarder les matchs de la NBA avec sa fille. Ce que tu apprendras dans cet épisode : L'intérêt de bâtir ta mosaïque de passions durant ton doctorat ou au moment où tu commences à explorer tes choix de carrières possiblesChoisir un domaine d'activité professionnelle, c'est shoisir une tribu qui reflète tes valeurs et tes passionsLe chemin vers ton emploi de rêve n'est pas une ligne droite, mais un ensemble de moments souvent inattendus tissés ensemble par tes choix à chacun d'entre euxLes quatre piliers du transfert de compétences développées au doctoratLes perles de sagesse de Mrim:« Je trouve que vraiment qu'on est des êtres très, très sociaux et, donc, trouver ta tribu de personnes comme Papa PhD ou autre, ça te donne un tramplin vers l'espoir, ça te donne un tramplin vers le chapitre prochain. Et c'est ça, en fait qui me donne ma motivation à moi quand je vois dans les yeux ou dans la posture des gens que d'un coup, d'un seul, ils trouvent "Ah, oui! C'est ça dont j'ai besoin pour bouger le Schmilblick un petit peu plus." Et c'est très individuel, mais dans les articles LinkedIn que je partage, je donne beaucoup de ces ressources pour qu'ils puissent un petit peu regarder qu'est-ce qu'il y a d'autre et qu'est qu'il y a ailleurs. »« J'ai découvert autour de moi qu'il y a des gens qui sont fascinés d'accumuler données pour découvrir et comprendre. Et ça, c'est vraiment les académiques. Mais moi, j'étais fascinée de découvrir pour comprendre, mais ma compréhension devait donner place à de l'action, à du changement, à traduire cette découverte dans quelque chose de tangible qui va aider les gens à se comprendre, à comprendre les autres, et puis à bâtir ces ponts de compréhension mutuelle et de résolution de conflits. Et je sais que si je reste dans le domaine académique je peux faire du beau boulot, mais je serai 80 % de mon temps devant MATLAB à analyser des images d'IRM. Et je déteste ça.
