Sustaining resilience isn’t always easy as a researcher. Research life is unpredictable, precarious and challenging. Pressure around publishing and the continuity of funding can weigh heavily and the focus of ‘the contract’ can make it hard to see and work within a bigger picture.

It can be hard to sustain your personal resilience when you’re feeling insecure about the next stage of your work and yet resilience can be key to maintaining research effectiveness.

Unique to this workshop, you are NOT going to be told what resilience is, and what you SHOULD do to build it. Rather, this interactive and experiential workshop with former academic and life coach Will Medd will invite you to:

• Reconnect you with what resources your own sense of resilience and well-being

• Be clear on your direction, know how to prioritise and set meaningful goals

• Learn to manage self-limiting beliefs and build confidence

• Identify personal strategies to sustain everyday resilience

• Learn from the collective wisdom of the group. 

This event will be held face-to-face. Following the workshop you will have the option of joining 3 groups coaching sessions (on Zoom)
