Mentoring for promotion

It is that time of year again at CSU - and I am spending a lot of time mentoring colleagues as they prepare and finalise their promotion applications. For many of these people we have been  working together for a number of years: firstly preparing their CVs, then looking for gaps, commencing leadership opportunities, and finally writing about their achievements, impact and standing in their fields. Supporting people to go for promotion also provides mentoring for grant writing and other research opportunities. I work across the whole university, mostly with women, and it is a joy to see their final documents.
