Pod Week One - Mentorship with Dr. Raquel Belforti

Welcome to the second Professional Pods Program (WP3) podcast! In this podcast, Dr. Jeannette Wolfe interviews Dr. Karen Salomon, a rheumatologist and Associate Professor of Medicine at UMass Chan Medical School. This Podweek’s topic is twofold: 1) how to create and/or hone a powerful personal narrative that describes one’s professional role and deep interests, and 2) how to use that narrative, along with other networking tips, to leverage attendance at a high-level conference to enhance career growth.

Why are elevator pitches essential for professionals? Because having a well-rehearsed and easily tailored introductory statement that describes one’s area of expertise and passion can accelerate understanding, connection, and potential future collaboration with new acquaintances. As new opportunities often start with a relatively brief encounter, having an elevator pitch ready and being cognizant of where it might be utilized is an essential professional tool.

To create a great elevator pitch, start with the “why” behind your chosen line of work and the motivation driving that work. In addition, having a story that underscores the work’s value can enhance the pitch’s effectiveness. Once a strong professional narrative is created, recognize where and how it should be tailored to best resonate with different audiences.

New professional opportunities can result from connections made at high-level conferences. Dr. Salomon offered several suggestions to help listeners leverage conference attendance to optimize their professional development. These include going into the meeting with a growth mindset, having an intentional plan (e.g., earmarking times for specific lectures or interest groups), and being on the lookout for spontaneous opportunities to make new connections. In addition, Dr. Wolfe and Dr. Salomon discussed ways to help more junior colleagues increase their own networks by facilitating introductions and including them in casual gatherings.

WP3’s mission is to create an intentional, longitudinal space for professionals in medicine and science to enhance their networks and support systems while providing them with action-oriented skills focused on career advancement. To find out more visit www.baystatehealth.org/wp3.
