This workshop is aimed at postdocs and PhD students who want to take control of their future but struggle to get started or who find that they don’t have time or energy to maintain this self-mentoring effort.
The aim of the workshop is to give your future planning a strong foundation by making your more aware of what you want and what you need in order to achieve it. Understanding the practical basis of your hopes and wants can help reduce stress and anxiety and give you more influence over factors that feel “uncontrollable”. Finally, being conscious of your goals will make you better at spotting opportunities that can help you on your way and help you stay in control of your future.
In this workshop, we will use exercises to help you conceptualize future career goals and incorporate working towards your goals into your current professional life in a continuous manner, - without necessarily adding to your existing workload.
