#FYIFriday in case you missed our global study, led by our friends at @KingsBSchool at @KingsCollegeLon found the pandemic lowered entrepreneurs’ mental health, and life satisfaction and stress worsened during the crisis. We surveyed >5,000 entrepreneurs in 23 countries incl. AU

[MK @MKWardIO]

The challenges entrepreneurs faced ranged from late paying customers to lack of access to government support. They also grappled with uncertainty and worried about their own and their family’s health.

5. Build teams around each person's strengths
Ask other people for help - even if you don't feel confident to do so - this builds social respect and reciprocation.

Neat nuggets from the @womenresearchau webinar today. I love women in science supporting other women in science to make us all a #winr @WeTransformWork
1. Pursue the great idea even if it's outside of your line of inquiry
2. Ask to go present your research, push the boundaries

[MK @MKWardIO]

4. You can be too far ahead of other people's imaginations - this means you'll need to persevere in changing the status quo. Creativity can mean that you're really far ahead of the field.

As a mentor or sponsor:

1. You can do it.
2. It's also okay to say no.
3. Think before you 'dump' your workload - will it benefit your mentee or sponsee?
4. Build communities
5. Small wins can make a difference for others

@Sharonkparker - along with fellow ARC laureates - sharing out-of-this-world advice on being a positive mentor and sponsor @womenresearchau @WeTransformWork for good.

[MK @MKWardIO]

Sharon's Tips

As a mentee or sponsee:

1. Beware of the myth of the 'magical mentor'
2. 'Fortune favours the brave' - ask and be specific on what to ask
3. Honour any help you get
4. Adopt a broad learning perspective
5. Cultivate relationships, not just transactions
