Pivoting From Academia to the Private Sector With Terence Milstead [Rerun]

In this last stretch of season 5 of Beyond the Thesis with Papa PhD, I am bringing you another treasure from the Papa PhD vault - my great conversation with Terence Milstead, during which he laid out his complete blueprint  for a successful career transition from academia into the private sector.Throughout the episode, Terence shares the strategies he used himself, along with the story of his experience pivoting out of his academic career, so be sure to have pen and paper if you are in the process of planning your own transition!

Terence Milstead received his Ph.D. in Urban and Regional Planning in 2008 from Florida State University where his research was focused on factors that influence people to invest time, money and emotional energy into upgrading their dwellings, even in unstable housing markets. This question led him to the former Soviet Union on a Fulbright and subsequently to other parts of the globe. But it also ignited a deep interest in qualitative research and the power of deeply listening to others.After completing his Ph.D. Terence started down the academic career path. However, after a few years he realized that a full-time career in academia was not what he had envisioned. So, in 20014, he transitioned to private sector, research-based consulting, relocating to the East Coat. But the path from academic to private-sector consultant was a crooked one and didn't happen overnight. In this episode Terence shares how he came up with a transition plan that ultimately led him to his current position as Head of Qualitative Insights at a global strategic consulting firm based in Washington D.C.

Les perles de sagesse de Pierre-Henri :
« De mon point de vue de psychologue, il y a tout un travail à faire auprès des étudiants de repérage de ce qui sonne juste pour eux, mais au niveau corporel – pas dans la tête. Sauf que parfois, en tant que doctorant, on est un peu dissocié, on dirait en hypnose. On est plus dans la tête que dans le corps, donc ça peut être vire piégeant d'écouter davantage sa pensée et son intellect que son corps. Et donc, je rejois tout à fait ton message de prévention – chers auditeurs, écoutez votre intuition, ce que vous ressentez et généralement, ça vous guide, en fait. »« Le stress est utile, donc il faut plutôt le filtrer et dialoguer avec lui, et trouver la juste distance entre ce qui est négatif de ce stress-là. On exorcise le côté négatif et on endorcise le côté ressource, sécurisant, positif. Mais l'astuce, c'est vraiment d'être dans le corps, dans la sensation, dans l'exception du corps qui ressent la sécurité. »
