Working in the world of science: how to manage self and build resilience

Contents

This programme will help participants consider what has helped them so far to reach their current professional situations and what still needs to be done to reach their long-term goals in the research environment. We will take both a short- and long-term view of how they organise themselves and consider what needs to be changed or realigned to assure the success they are hoping for.  

This course will help you to:

  • Be clear about professional and personal ambitions and with these in mind discover more efficient ways of working to increase overall performance. 
  • Address any serious work/life balance issues
  • Review the way you organize yourself, reflect on your own assumptions with a view to finding long lasting solutions.
  • Decrease feelings of stress and build resilience in the work and home environment

While there is some theory, the facilitator adopts a coaching approach where participants are encouraged to unlock the answers that are waiting to be discovered. 

The course consists of several sessions. You should be able to attend all of them.

Study commitment

In preparation for the course participants are expected to answer a questionnaire and to observe themselves using the time log over a period of 5 working days. This is an essential pre-course task as the course content will draw on this. More information about the pre-course task will be sent some weeks before the course.
