In this episode of I'm No Rookie , Ayo Bamgbose reflects on how starting her PhD introduced her to opportunities she didn't know exi

In this episode of I'm No Rookie , I share some of my own story of moving from the treatment room into education, reflecting on the small
#111 The Workshop That Made Me Look at My Career Differently (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever attended something with no expectations, and it ended up shifting how you see your career? In this episode, I share a moment from a workshop I attended during my PhD that made me pause and reflect. It was not about learning something completely new.

This episode is for you if you have been thinking about your next step, whether that is moving into teaching, progressing in your career, or simply trying to f
