Second Year Recharge: Reconnect with Your PhD

This four-day programme is designed to help you take a fresh and positive look at your work during the second year – a notoriously tricky stage to feel you have the clarity and motivation to keep going. This is true at the best of times, let alone during a global pandemic!

We recommend that you attend all four sessions of the programme, but you are very welcome to book for single sessions, i.e. there is no requirement to sign up for the whole programme or to have completed the preceding sessions in order to book for a later one.

For those who attend the morning session, there will also be an opportunity to attend an optional afternoon session, where we delve deeper into the content in a small group. The afternoon sessions will be limited to 30 people and will be available on a first come, first served basis. (Booking links for the afternoon session will be under 'joining instructions' in your booking confirmation email).

Workshop 4: Self-Care & Resilience

Although we want to work as hard as possible, we know that sacrificing play doesn’t work in the long run. We will do a self-care health check and then choose some simple steps to bring balance back into our lives.

Discover how to prepare for times when you need to be resilient. We will learn how emotional strength is built from curiosity rather than building barriers and some practical ways to build proven resilience strategies into our everyday lives.

The other workshops in the series are:
Workshop 1: Harnessing Your Motivation and Forming Productive Habits
Workshop 2: Finding Purpose: Your official 'vs' unofficial CV
Workshop 3: Effective Relationships
