MIMI GERMAN'S GORGEOUS POETRY; PAUL BURKE ON ELECTION PROTECTION; NORMAN SOLOMON ON PEACE Our GREEP zoom gathering #173 begins with the magnificent MIMI GERMAN, our much-loved Poet Laureate. Mimi reads us her fabulous poem about the time she almost got shot at the CGS nuke on the Hanford nuclear wasteland. Plus she tells of our great adventure on the legendary peace boat GOLDEN RULE and the time we were rammed (true!!!) by a police boat while protesting Portland's militaristic “fleet week.” The great DENNIS BERNSTEIN joins us with tales of his activism as we celebrate the massive impact of his nationally syndicated FLASHPOINTS SHOW on KPFA/Pacifica. PAUL NEWMAN chips in with a great comment on nuclear casualties. RON LEONARD reminds us of the realities of the insane continued operations at Diablo Canyon...and of the new Friends of the Earth lawsuit against the handout to keep Diablo headed toward an uninsured Armageddon. The connection between nuclear power and nuclear weapons is underscored by ALFRED MEYER. WENDI LEDERMAN the introduces the amazing PAUL BURKE of VOTEWELL.NET, who fills us in on many of the crucial the realities of election theft. DONALD SMITH and PAUL STOKES raiseadditional key issues on election protection, At the top of the second hour, we're joined by the legendary NORMAN SOLOMON. Norman's uniquely brilliant career as a journalist includes his work as a non-violent pioneer for peace. As a co-author of KILLING OUR OWN, Norman reminds us of the horrible death toll among downwinders from the lethal Nevada Bomb tests of the 1950s and ‘60s. Norman also urges our participation in DAN ELLSBERG WEEK, upcoming June 10-16. TATANKA BRICCA reminds us of Ellsberg's true greatness and of the many adventures they shared. RUTH STRAUSS then reminds us that peace activism can be a dangerous business….and that the voting machines bought with millions of taxpayer dollars for Los Angeles are seriously problematic. MARION EDEY, legendary founder of the League of Conservation Voters and co-founder of the Threshold Foundatlon talks to us about election protection and more. We then hear MYLA RESON bemoaning the illusion among some young people that nuclear power can help fight global warming; she also raises the issue of depleted uranium being mis-used in US warfare. MIKE HERSH reminds us of the great accomplishments of the Clamshell Alliance and Norman's very effective activism in Oregon on shutting the Trojan reactor. Norman ends with a plea for the revival of diplomacy as a tool of foreign policy rather than building ever-more weapons for increasingly insane wars. With such a mindset, Norman warns, DR. STRANGELOVE remains a documentary….NO NUKES!!!

In this episode, I'm going to be talking to my colleague, Dr. Kay Guccione. 4 00:00:39,980 --> 00:00:47,840 Kay, I've known for a few years because of her expertise and amazing work in mentoring and coaching for researchers. 5 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,570 So I wanted to invite Kay on the podcast to talk about why it's important to have a mentor. 6 00:00:53,570 --> 00:00:59,630 What thebenefits are also about how she sets up mentoring schemes for researchers. 7 00:00:59,630 --> 00:01:04,910 So, Kay, happy to introduce yourself. My name is Kay Guccione. 8 00:01:04,910 --> 00:01:09,860 I work at Glasgow Caledonian University and I work in academic development. 9 00:01:09,860 --> 00:01:18,920 I lead on things like professional recognition through HEA accreditation, but also on mentoring and community building for our staff who teach. 10 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:26,030 So the reason we want to chat today was about the kind of mentoring and coaching aspect of the work you do. 11 00:01:26,030 --> 00:01:34,790 And I wondered if you could tell us a little bit about how how you became interested in this area, because you've done a huge amount work in it. 12 00:01:34,790 --> 00:01:41,750 Yeah, I. You know, I never had a mentor until really recently or really anybody who's played a role. 13 00:01:41,750 --> 00:01:47,360 Anything in my development, like mentoring is, as we understand it now as a professional practise. 14 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,500 And really, my undergrad and PhD looking back, 15 00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:57,590 I really have made use of that kind of thing because as a person who likes to sound things out makes up my mind by doing that sort of, 16 00:01:57,590 --> 00:02:02,840 you know, talking it through, seeing what comes out and then making sense of that. 17 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,200 I could have used that kind of development myself. 18 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:14,720 But my first encounter with mentoring was when I moved out of postdoc and I was a science postdoc and I moved into being a postdoc developer. 19 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:23,920 So research developer and one of the projects on the long list of things to do for postdocs just said you're mentoring programme as as the Concordat 20 00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:27,770 did in that days. You know, it just it said postdocs should have some mentoring. 21 00:02:27,770 --> 00:02:32,360 So it was a really blank canvas open to whatever we made of it. 22 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,390 Really, I don't know anything about mentoring. I never experienced it firsthand. 23 00:02:35,390 --> 00:02:41,930 So I popped over to Sheffield Hallam University to meet Paul Stokes in the mentoring and 24 00:02:41,930 --> 00:02:47,240 Coaching Research Unit down there and to get the support of that team really in terms of, 25 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,050 you know, what's a programme? What does it look like? What is happening? What was mentoring? 26 00:02:51,050 --> 00:02:56,060 What the mentor supposed to do? So very naive. Which went along and ask some experts. 27 00:02:56,060 --> 00:03:00,410 I suppose that's a particular skill of mine. Go and ask someone who knows. 28 00:03:00,410 --> 00:03:06,440 And we started the programme and it immediately became my favourite piece of work. 29 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:13,780 You can see the transformation happening and mentoring is really rich learning and it's personalised to each individual mentee that comes in. 30 00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:20,990 And because it's contextualised as it helps them do the things that they want to do, it has really immediate impact. 31 00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:30,040 And people were raving about it, about the quality of the conversations that they were having with their mentors and what it was enabling them to do. 32 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,830 It became just a dream to work on. So over time, that programme grew. 33 00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:39,200 It became massive. It went to institutional level and then spun off into smaller programmes like thesis 34 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,080 mentoring and the mentoring for researchers who want to get careers outside the academy. 35 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:51,060 And then from that into a suite of new programmes supporting people across the University of Sheffield. 36 00:03:51,060 --> 00:03:57,800 Alongside that, I'd done a Masters is a master's in education with a coaching and mentoring specialism through the University of Derby. 37 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:04,760 So I have imbibed all experience at programme development level and then all the training that underpins it. 38 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:14,810 I was able to make a case very during a team restructure that there should be a role dedicated to mentoring, coaching in communities. 39 00:04:14,810 --> 00:04:20,750 And I did that role in Sheffield from 2012 to 2019. They want to move to GCU in 2019. 40 00:04:20,750 --> 00:04:26,970 That sort of work, again, became a large part of my role because it works, you know, because it's something we can put into place. 41 00:04:26,970 --> 00:04:31,670 It's I mean, it's personalised and we see the results within six months of what is going on. 42 00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:41,480 So that's fabulous. You know, you said just that, you know, how much you enjoy that work and how quickly you see the impact and the benefits. 43 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:52,160 I mean, making that case for a dedicated role to look at mentoring, coaching, it's not it's not an easy thing within. 44 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:59,000 A higher education. But could you talk a little bit about some of the impact and benefits that you see? 45 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:07,590 Yes. And I think the thing the thing was that helps me making that case when the role is that mentoring isn't the way I see is. 46 00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:14,400 Mentoring isn't a project has very limited reach. If it's seen as something that is a project, you know, alongside, 47 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,140 we do this kind of training course and that kind of network and this kind of mentoring programme. 48 00:05:19,140 --> 00:05:23,880 If you see mentoring as something systemic, you know, and you think in systems of mentoring. 49 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,370 So we've got the senior academics mentoring the junior academics. 50 00:05:26,370 --> 00:05:31,630 They're mentoring the postdocs, postdocs mentoring the PGR as PGRs are peer mentoring with each other. 51 00:05:31,630 --> 00:05:38,460 And, you know, it's if you see as something that cascades out and understand the difference that can be made, 52 00:05:38,460 --> 00:05:44,850 if everybody has this skill set and everyone can apply that skill set not just to a mentoring programme, 53 00:05:44,850 --> 00:05:48,940 but, you know, in small group teaching, you can use these skills as a line manager. 54 00:05:48,940 --> 00:05:52,290 You can use these skills as a PhD supervisor, you can use these skills. 55 00:05:52,290 --> 00:06:03,840 So once I became to see it as a systems of work, it was much easier to show what impact it would have at that organisational level. 56 00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:07,940 And in terms of the individuals that that's where it starts, you know, the impact on this person. 57 00:06:07,940 --> 00:06:14,340 So I guess at its most basic level, mentoring is a confidential space where someone can sit down, 58 00:06:14,340 --> 00:06:18,750 think out loud, check things out and just find out how stuff works. 59 00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:23,410 So even at that basic one to one level, there's probably something in it for everyone, 60 00:06:23,410 --> 00:06:30,420 because the questions that you have and the things you want to talk about a personal to you coming into that mentoring programme, 61 00:06:30,420 --> 00:06:36,990 the mentors, they're you know, they help you make some time and some space to actually sit down and think about yourself for a change. 62 00:06:36,990 --> 00:06:40,560 Think about where you go in. We don't often get to do. A real privilege. 63 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:48,420 And I think the quality of the plans we put into action are probably represented by the quality of the thinking that went into them. 64 00:06:48,420 --> 00:06:56,660 So being able to find our feet and find our way forward is something that's a key impact of those mentoring kind of conversations. 65 00:06:56,660 --> 00:07:00,180 You know, if it depends what people are looking for, it's a chance to be heard and really listened to. 66 00:07:00,180 --> 00:07:03,240 That's not very common in pressured competitive environments, 67 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:10,890 particularly suited to the research environment, I think, to make that space to be heard and be listened to. 68 00:07:10,890 --> 00:07:16,920 And, you know, if we understand how something works, the game of academia, what the rules are, how to navigate it with them, 69 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:26,370 building confidence to try things out and building confidence in ourselves as researchers and ask people who have something to contribute. 70 00:07:26,370 --> 00:07:30,450 If you're kind of person, who needs a bit of a push or some accountability to say, get your papers written. 71 00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:36,810 A mentor can help with that. If you're someone who needs, you know, at a time where they need a get support and a sympathetic ear. 72 00:07:36,810 --> 00:07:41,220 Mentors can offer that. If it's just a, you know, case of what next. 73 00:07:41,220 --> 00:07:44,470 I don't know what the options are on where to go. Mentors can offer that as well. 74 00:07:44,470 --> 00:07:49,000 So whatever you bring to it, that's what you work on. 75 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:56,610 And I think if people see it really as an arena for doing a piece of planning rather than for solving a problem particularly, 76 00:07:56,610 --> 00:08:01,500 you can start to see how it fits into into everyday work and everyday life. 77 00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:08,010 And we've all got things on the horizon we need to think about. Let's do that thinking in a systematic way with someone who wants to help us. 78 00:08:08,010 --> 00:08:11,870 And I think it gives us that time to do what you know, 79 00:08:11,870 --> 00:08:20,670 we we don't have time to do so often at higher education, which is to take a step back and reflect and plan. 80 00:08:20,670 --> 00:08:26,700 And I know in in my role as a researcher developer, which obviously, you know, you've done that as well. 81 00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:31,320 And now as a senior lecturer working in academic development, 82 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:38,250 you know that the time and the facility for that just feels like it's dwindling as a 83 00:08:38,250 --> 00:08:45,180 kind of academic workloads and expectations and outputs and everything kind of grows. 84 00:08:45,180 --> 00:08:52,740 But actually, it's those conversations like you're talking about those plans that planning, that time for reflection, 85 00:08:52,740 --> 00:09:00,590 for strategic thinking about what comes next, that's actually going to help us to do the productive aspect of it. 86 00:09:00,590 --> 00:09:07,800 Yeah, absolutely. And I think it's there's very famous cartoon where there's a sort of a cave dwelling person pushing 87 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,870 a cart with square wheels and there's the developer there offering them round wheels and they say, 88 00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:19,410 you know, I haven't got time for this. I'm too busy. And you figure this would really help with what you're trying to achieve? 89 00:09:19,410 --> 00:09:23,760 And I think absolutely, we cannot deny that workloads have rocketed. 90 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,680 There's not enough staff in universities. Everybody's doing at least a job and a half right now. 91 00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:33,540 And I think as somebody who designs programmes and designs mentoring conversations, 92 00:09:33,540 --> 00:09:39,750 even just having the chance to go and meet a mentor is being pushed out. 93 00:09:39,750 --> 00:09:43,530 So it's a cases and, you know, how else can we get these conversations into things? 94 00:09:43,530 --> 00:09:46,980 How can we make them part of peer observations or peer review? 95 00:09:46,980 --> 00:09:51,450 How can we make them part of team meetings or annual appraisal systems and. 96 00:09:51,450 --> 00:09:55,590 How can we we get these. The quality of conversation. 97 00:09:55,590 --> 00:10:03,540 Two things people are obliged to do, even if they can't find time to sort of, you know, sit down for the hour. 98 00:10:03,540 --> 00:10:10,740 What can be done and trying to find ways to fit it in a simple cost is for postgraduate and early career researchers. 99 00:10:10,740 --> 00:10:18,870 I wonder if you could say something about maybe the benefits of engaging in mentoring and coaching at that stage of your career. 100 00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:29,800 But also why it's something that they should make the time for, because they're not necessarily part of those kind of line management type structures. 101 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:36,750 to a certain extent. I think it is about readiness because mentoring is a piece of work that researchers do. 102 00:10:36,750 --> 00:10:42,330 You know, it's not it's not a magic fix. It's not a case of going off to meet somebody and then receiving the answers. 103 00:10:42,330 --> 00:10:53,640 It is a piece of self evaluation. It requires you to be open and be honest with yourself, at least about where it is you want to go. 104 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:59,610 And where you're at right now. So I would say firstly, if people really believe it's not for them and don't want to, 105 00:10:59,610 --> 00:11:05,070 that's absolutely fine, because it does require a certain amount of energy and input from the researcher. 106 00:11:05,070 --> 00:11:09,110 But if you are ready for that and you're thinking, you know, who do I choose and how? 107 00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:14,130 I'm happy to pass on a whole resource that I've got about how to consider that. 108 00:11:14,130 --> 00:11:21,540 I'll make sure that that gets passed over. Linked to the main things to think about are who do you. 109 00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:28,500 Who do you want to work with? Who would you like to speak to? And the people who you might identify as being really appropriate mentors, 110 00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:33,180 people with big CVs, lots of publications, you know, big research teams, actually. 111 00:11:33,180 --> 00:11:39,510 Are they the best mentors? You know, we're looking at mentoring. As I said, is a specific skill sets. 112 00:11:39,510 --> 00:11:42,960 It's an education based skill set, is an interpersonal skill set. 113 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:49,530 So look around for the person who everybody thinks is a good, you know, a good supporter. 114 00:11:49,530 --> 00:11:53,100 Look at that. Their PhD students. Their postdocs. The research teams. 115 00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:57,180 And you can ask, you know, of a good person to speak to. 116 00:11:57,180 --> 00:12:02,700 And then when you approach a mentor, I would say it's good to tell them who you are, what you might be aiming for, 117 00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:11,610 what you might want from them, where you're aiming to go, perhaps, and then what you've seen about them that you think you could benefit from. 118 00:12:11,610 --> 00:12:20,100 And I think if we start off together on this understanding that mentoring is a piece of work that the mentee does, the mentor is the support for that. 119 00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:20,910 And in order to support, 120 00:12:20,910 --> 00:12:28,740 they've got to have these these great skills were probably in the right mindset for understanding if mentoring is for us right now. 121 00:12:28,740 --> 00:12:33,280 If you are thinking about try and out, but you're hesitating a bit. 122 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:39,120 I mean, just give it a go. What's what what could happen. You know, you might think, actually, I picked the wrong person. 123 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:45,990 Never mind. Let's just say thanks and move on or I don't really see what I've got out of that that I couldn't have done on my own. 124 00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:50,970 That's perfectly fine. Some people like to work, you know, in as as an individual on paper, in the heads. 125 00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:54,750 That's fine. It's a skill set. And you can self coach and self mentor. 126 00:12:54,750 --> 00:13:02,040 Once you know these kind of self-analysis tools and ways of thinking, you can ask yourself coaching questions as well. 127 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:08,470 If there's nobody available to you around, you could get together with peers, talk to friends, have a little coaching session. 128 00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:13,080 You know, there's there's always some way to do the kind of reflection that I'm talking about. 129 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:19,290 So start small. Build up. Decide if you like it. If you don't know where is in that. 130 00:13:19,290 --> 00:13:28,130 All of this is the schemes that you've run. And I know at Sheffield that the the volume of them kind of in the end was huge, 131 00:13:28,130 --> 00:13:33,810 are there kind of really tangible benefits that you saw from people going through that scheme in terms of 132 00:13:33,810 --> 00:13:39,710 kind of how they move forward with their careers or research completion publication that that sort of thing. 133 00:13:39,710 --> 00:13:42,810 Yeah. I would say when you're evaluating mentor or you want to look first, 134 00:13:42,810 --> 00:13:49,200 they experience people have because that will give you that will give you a sense of what might happen in the future. 135 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:56,070 Now, with mentoring programmes, you know, can be short just in a few months, six months, say what we probably aren't expecting. 136 00:13:56,070 --> 00:14:00,820 And that time is for someone to get five publications out just because of the timelines that research and publishing 137 00:14:00,820 --> 00:14:10,070 and those kinds of indicators of academic esteem work on different timelines to mentor and obviously so on the. 138 00:14:10,070 --> 00:14:15,920 On the programmes I've worked on, I've always asked people, you know, did this make a difference to your sense of belonging to the university? 139 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:22,040 Did it make a difference to your confidence? Did it make a difference to the strategies and plans you've put into place? 140 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,850 And then what we see is further down the line that we see the tangible benefits of that. 141 00:14:25,850 --> 00:14:32,130 So we might get the person who gets the fellowship. We might get the person who gets a different job, decides what career they want to move into, 142 00:14:32,130 --> 00:14:39,290 gets their publishing done, gets involved in the kind of outreach or public engagement work that they want to do. 143 00:14:39,290 --> 00:14:41,210 The goals are personal to the individuals. 144 00:14:41,210 --> 00:14:50,480 But if we start with the support, the confidence and the planning, those more tangible or hard benefits will tend to come after that. 145 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:59,960 And I think that's the key for me in so much of the development work that we do as a researcher, academic people would have a developers. 146 00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:07,190 Is that, you know, sometimes because because of the nature of H-E and the kind of culture of the speed of it, 147 00:15:07,190 --> 00:15:10,600 the level of workload, there's a kind of desire for a quick fix. 148 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,320 There's a kind of okay, but I need something that's gonna give me a very tangible, very clear output now. 149 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,750 So, you know, I have it when people come to workshops. So, you know, we're going to workshop or writing your literature review. 150 00:15:20,750 --> 00:15:24,800 They kind of want to leave. Being able to sit down and write the literature review immediately afterwards, 151 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,420 whereas it's not what we're dealing with is something more complex and that a 152 00:15:28,420 --> 00:15:32,810 more reflective that gets you to kind of work towards being able to do that. 153 00:15:32,810 --> 00:15:37,400 And. And I think I can really see that in what in what you're saying, actually, 154 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:43,020 it's it's not gonna give it's not necessarily going to give you that immediate kind of. 155 00:15:43,020 --> 00:15:46,890 OK. You've had a meeting. Here's a tangible thing that you can take away. 156 00:15:46,890 --> 00:15:48,920 And you've got output or you've got you know, 157 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:54,890 you've got something you can write on a CV or look up on a screen or hold in your hand or whatever it is. 158 00:15:54,890 --> 00:16:01,220 It's actually accepting that the benefit that the tangible or the kind of hard benefits, 159 00:16:01,220 --> 00:16:05,700 as you call them, of this tend to come in the long term rather than the short term. 160 00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:09,230 Yeah, absolutely. So this is kind of a transformative process. 161 00:16:09,230 --> 00:16:13,820 And, you know, you might get a person coming into mentoring who's already got all this skills. 162 00:16:13,820 --> 00:16:19,670 They've got all of the aid is there ready to go. And all they need is somebody to say, yes, you can do it, you know? 163 00:16:19,670 --> 00:16:22,430 And then you get to see a very immediate benefit. 164 00:16:22,430 --> 00:16:27,380 But you might also get somebody coming into the same mentoring programme who's just starting a journey. 165 00:16:27,380 --> 00:16:30,110 And it's got to figure out a lot. A lot of things. 166 00:16:30,110 --> 00:16:37,250 You know, they it takes time to have ideas, to develop ideas, to draught writing and to to develop that writing. 167 00:16:37,250 --> 00:16:45,230 I think we absolutely have to look where people come in and where they where they finished mentoring programmes, 168 00:16:45,230 --> 00:16:49,860 you know, the objectives that they set for themselves at the beginning. How far along did they get those? 169 00:16:49,860 --> 00:16:58,370 And some of that's in setting smart objectives, you know. Is it about having 10 papers at the end of this programme or is it about figuring out 170 00:16:58,370 --> 00:17:03,070 one good place to publish and really understanding what that journal is looking for? 171 00:17:03,070 --> 00:17:10,550 We've got different, different people coming in at different stages of their thinking, different stages of their understanding. 172 00:17:10,550 --> 00:17:12,950 And that's why we have to work at the individual level. 173 00:17:12,950 --> 00:17:19,000 We have to make sure that the support that's received is tailored to where that person's at and where they want to go. 174 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,940 You know, I, I know from myself, when I've gone into mentoring, I've gone into it and gone. 175 00:17:22,940 --> 00:17:27,160 I know I need somebody to talk to you, but I don't have any idea what I'm aiming at 176 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,680 And that's that's the most mentees I've worked with. 177 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:37,440 We don't all turn up going. Here is my goal. You know, sometimes it's like I think something's wrong, 178 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:42,920 but I'm not sure what it is or I think something could be better or I don't understand what is expected of me. 179 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:51,500 And these are normal reactions to have at work. You know, it's complex and figuring out different work relationships and figuring out, you know, 180 00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:59,750 what's possible for you and how you'd like to approach that is something that we all go through and a mentor can most definitely help with. 181 00:17:59,750 --> 00:18:06,750 So you mentioned earlier that. You know, a lot of this is is it is an eco system. 182 00:18:06,750 --> 00:18:13,790 Yeah, it's the kind of the senior professors mentoring the senior lecturers, mentoring the kind of newer academics, 183 00:18:13,790 --> 00:18:17,510 mentoring the postdocs, mentoring the PGRs you know, who are mentoring each other. 184 00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:22,970 So it is that kind of top down or bottom up, which is where you want to look at the ecosystem. 185 00:18:22,970 --> 00:18:26,240 And I wondered if you could talk a little bit about how that. 186 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:37,370 How that kind of looks and operates and the benefits of that kind of level of an engaged mentoring culture amongst academics. 187 00:18:37,370 --> 00:18:45,620 Yeah, so I would say how it looks now is not how it looks when you start it, you don't have to do all in the first instance. 188 00:18:45,620 --> 00:18:51,980 It's not a case of, you know, assembling 10000 people and making a culture of mentoring. 189 00:18:51,980 --> 00:18:59,840 On day three, it's how it started. It started with 12 people, six pairs. 190 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:06,440 So six academic volunteers and six postdocs is where it started. 191 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,660 And I think if you focus at that point on making sure everybody has a good experience and making 192 00:19:11,660 --> 00:19:16,040 sure at the end of it you understand what's made that a good experience and what the outcomes were, 193 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:22,190 those people will then start to do the work for you because the postdocs will tell other people this was great. 194 00:19:22,190 --> 00:19:26,780 Get on board with it. You know, if I go back to the mentors and say, would you mentor for us again? 195 00:19:26,780 --> 00:19:30,650 And also can you recommend a colleague? And we started we sought to double up. 196 00:19:30,650 --> 00:19:35,720 So there comes a time when people are experienced as mentors say you got your 197 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,650 most senior academics and they will come to you and start asking questions. 198 00:19:39,650 --> 00:19:49,460 You know, I want. They might say I would like my Masters course to have a mentoring component with industry, or they might say, 199 00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:58,100 I want all of my first year to do peer mentoring conversations with each other as a formative assessment before they get into their four, 200 00:19:58,100 --> 00:20:01,910 they get into their summative assessments and you start to help with that and that. 201 00:20:01,910 --> 00:20:07,310 And so you start to see that the mentors who've had a really good experience want more of it. 202 00:20:07,310 --> 00:20:12,730 They're trying to bring it into the departments for, say, new new academic starters on probation. 203 00:20:12,730 --> 00:20:14,570 They're trying to bring it into their taught courses. 204 00:20:14,570 --> 00:20:18,860 They're trying to bring it in with the people they supervise because they've had that good experience. 205 00:20:18,860 --> 00:20:25,610 They can see the benefits. And then is a case of saying, you know, we've got a lot of people now, postdocs, for example, 206 00:20:25,610 --> 00:20:31,750 who've experienced having a mentor and why shouldn't they have the same skills? 207 00:20:31,750 --> 00:20:35,570 You know, why shouldn't they also be able to apply this? We've got all these PGRs 208 00:20:35,570 --> 00:20:42,500 So, again, it's more recruiting, piloting, trying to understand what's going on, thinking what what do people need to get done? 209 00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:46,160 They need to get their theses done. What have postdocs already done? 210 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,670 They've written their thesis. So here we've got a hook to hang mentoring on. 211 00:20:49,670 --> 00:20:53,960 We say, you know, this is not just about generic career support or career mentoring, 212 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,140 which I actually think PGRs are very well served for most universities now. 213 00:20:58,140 --> 00:21:01,670 But saying what targeted thing can we achieve with mentoring here? 214 00:21:01,670 --> 00:21:07,460 So postdoc thesis mentors was where I went next, coming out of thesis mentoring. 215 00:21:07,460 --> 00:21:14,060 People were saying, I wish I'd had this earlier. I really wish I hadn't left it to the last six months of my PhD to have a mentor. 216 00:21:14,060 --> 00:21:22,330 Fantastic. So what can we do at an early stage? And I'm looking then at a confirmation review which might be called upgrade of first year vivas 217 00:21:22,330 --> 00:21:29,510 But that piece of written work. Students have to do in order to remain on their doctoral course. 218 00:21:29,510 --> 00:21:35,000 And then on the other side of that, recognising that. So having a day, a year, you know, 219 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,310 there might be a national or international mentoring day or other event in the calendar 220 00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:44,690 for your university where you want to highlight all of the good stuff that's going on. 221 00:21:44,690 --> 00:21:51,480 So really championing that and saying, you know, we've had 100000 mentoring conversations at the university in the last year or. 222 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,030 And these are all the different kinds of groups we've served. These are all the different kinds of outcomes. 223 00:21:56,030 --> 00:22:01,580 We have and making sure that's very visible and it's very seen, of course, the university. 224 00:22:01,580 --> 00:22:08,720 But all that grows over time. So, you know, pick your six PGRs and start there and give them a good experience. 225 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,070 And it proves itself and it will grow from there. 226 00:22:13,070 --> 00:22:21,920 Yeah, I think really inspiring and and that's the importance of kind of start small and let people appreciate the benefits. 227 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,750 And then that will in and of itself, in and of itself, do the work for you. 228 00:22:25,750 --> 00:22:32,840 Yeah, absolutely. I was really interested in what you were saying there about the thesis mentoring, because I think one of the things that I, 229 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:38,720 I find when I talk to PGRs is that as a mentor, they don't think they've got anything to offer. 230 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:48,560 So they they they sort of would love to have, you know, be a mentee and have a mentor who either are most more experienced senior PGR or an academic, 231 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,900 but they don't see in themselves what they have to offer as a mentor. 232 00:22:53,900 --> 00:22:59,060 I find that really just really challenging sometimes because I think particularly with peer to peer stuff 233 00:22:59,060 --> 00:23:04,340 One of the barriers that that certainly I feel that I have in the research community 234 00:23:04,340 --> 00:23:09,110 is that that it's they don't see the experience they have to offer. 235 00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:17,420 Yeah. And we know PGRs and that's incredible, isn't it, because we see that the huge amount of value that they bring to universities, I mean, 236 00:23:17,420 --> 00:23:22,310 really smart people who've achieved throughout their academic careers, 237 00:23:22,310 --> 00:23:31,220 who've come into a PhD as like independent thinkers and scholars, very proactive people, very engaged people, very smart. 238 00:23:31,220 --> 00:23:35,390 There's very definitely something people can can offer there. 239 00:23:35,390 --> 00:23:38,960 But I think. Because mentoring and the skills of mentoring. 240 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:47,840 I talked about before this very person centred philosophy. The skills don't rely on the mentor having all the answers they rely on the mentor, 241 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:54,230 having the appropriate skills to question, to listen, to facilitate and to support other people. 242 00:23:54,230 --> 00:23:58,070 And those are learnt skills. That's not something you just have to have or don't have. 243 00:23:58,070 --> 00:24:02,150 So, you know, every mentoring programme should come with some training for the mentors. 244 00:24:02,150 --> 00:24:10,610 And if you ask me, the mentees. But, you know, as as programme designs and programme owners, we should definitely be preparing mentors, 245 00:24:10,610 --> 00:24:14,510 making sure they've got the skills, making sure they know how to to apply them. 246 00:24:14,510 --> 00:24:21,350 And I think it's really empowering. If you get away from this advice based model of mentoring where the mentor has all the answers, 247 00:24:21,350 --> 00:24:27,650 the mentor asks the question, the mentor gives the answer. Yeah. You know, some of that might take place, but that's only half the story. 248 00:24:27,650 --> 00:24:35,620 It's kind of half mentoring. The the skills of being able to say to somebody, what if you already tried, you know. 249 00:24:35,620 --> 00:24:37,940 Well, how has that gone? And what do you think you're going to do next? 250 00:24:37,940 --> 00:24:43,940 And really facilitating that mentee to think through the different issues that are 251 00:24:43,940 --> 00:24:48,830 going on and to have the power basically to go make that change for themselves. 252 00:24:48,830 --> 00:24:56,620 Thanks so much to Kay for taking the time out of what I know is an incredibly busy schedule to talk to me about coaching ang mentoring. 253 00:24:56,620 --> 00:25:01,130 We're thinking a lot about peer mentoring in particular as Exeter at the moment. 254 00:25:01,130 --> 00:25:06,650 So it was a great to have the opportunity to talk to Kay in detail about how 255 00:25:06,650 --> 00:25:12,260 these things get off the ground and kind of how to kind of take that step back, 256 00:25:12,260 --> 00:25:19,370 start small and let the impact of mentoring kind of do the work for you and growing it, 257 00:25:19,370 --> 00:25:24,740 but also really focussing on the idea that mentoring is not a knowledge base. 258 00:25:24,740 --> 00:25:30,400 It's a skill set. It's not about having all the answers. It's about helping ask the right questions. 259 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:35,510 And that's it for this episode.

In this episode you’ll hear highlights from a May 2018 panel discussion which we titled Comedy + Journalism = ?? We’re all familiar with satirical magazines, websites and TV shows like Private Eye, The Daily Mash and Have I Got News For You that deal with national and global news, but what are the opportunities for mixing comedy with local journalism – particularly in these times when many people are as likely to “consume” news from satirical websites as a newspaper? Our panellists: • Paul Stokes, co-founder and publisher of The Daily Mash website, and executive producer of TV's The Mash Report • John Scott, professional stand-up comedian with a monthly political satire show at The Stand • Damon Green, ITN's north of England correspondent • Steve Drayton, BBC Newcastle radio producer and vinylophile who brought his comedy variety show Mr Steve Drayton's Record Player to The Great Exhibition of the North
So here we are at the end of the 2017 and I just want to say thanks to everyone who contributed to this podcats and great to hear the variety of relationships they have had with The Outdoors Station during our 12 years and 10,000,00+ downloads. In order we hear from Alan Callow, Brian Vargo, Dave Hanney Alpkit, Sarah Jackson, David Lintern, Katy Mccullagh, Roman Ackle, Chris Townsend, Alex Roddie, Paul Stokes, Lee Wells, Colin Woolford, Rich Sheward and Steve Bunting. Thank you one and all for your comment and feedback. I know it isn't a comfortable thing to do to use an answer machine, but it really helps inspire me to keep going knowing that everyone is getting a wealth of pleasure and knowledge from whatever I do and share. Whishing you a happy, healthy and safe 2018 in the company of those you love. Bob and Rose

Tread Lite Gear is a UK cottage manufacturing brand name which most people who are interested in the lightweight outdoor scene, may have increasingly become aware of in recent years. The man behind the idea, the business and more importantly, the sewing machine is Paul Stokes. In the podcast you'll hear how he took the brave step to teach himself the dark skills of the sewing machine and step away from his white collar career as a surveyor to design, create and sew lots of very cool items, using very cool fabrics for very cool people in the outdoors world. This interview will take you through his journey and what it takes to become one of the very few cottage manufacturers in the UK, who like any small business has to struggle against the tides of exchange rates, flaky suppliers, import duties and all the administration activities which actually keep any entrepreneur away from doing their chosen work in the first place.
