Researcher Development : Making Decisions In Your Career
| Description | Theme: Education and Research Category: Education and Research This activity is for Research active staff and would be particularly useful to Early Career Researchers. This session will be DELIVERED VIRTUALLY - joining instructions will be provided beforehand.
About this course: Do you feel 'stuck' or confused about your career and uncertain how to move forward? In this two hour online workshop, we consider why it can feel difficult to make career decisions, how to overcome those concerns, and I teach a decision making process that helps you make a decision you love. It's not a 'there are these options available' or a 'you SHOULD do this' workshop - instead we focus on the thoughts and beliefs that are making choosing difficult and give you a tangible route forward. I'll also share my journey from first generation PhD student to researcher to teaching focused professor to life coach! Learning outcomes: As a result of attending this course, you will be able to:. - Explain the thoughts and emotions that make career decisions challenging. - Identify thoughts that help make career decisions less stressful. - Use a systematic process to make decisions that you love now and in the future.
Who should attend this course: The course is specifically designed Research active staff and would be particularly useful to Early Career Researchers. If you have accessibility requirements, please contact researcherdevelopment@exeter.ac.uk in advance to discuss further.
