This highly interactive workshop will help participants recognize and reframe limiting beliefs through polarity thinking, developing a both/and mindset that supports more effective collaboration in scientific teamwork. Through guided reflection, small-group dialogue, and hands-on practice with the Polarity Navigator, you'll build practical skills for navigating tensions like task vs. relationship or advocacy vs. inquiry — skills that translate directly into your research collaborations.
