Building Resilience and Being Assertive Prerequisites
Perhaps by virtue of being at the interface of the known and the unknown, research seems to be inherently stressful. This half-day course helps you to cope with the vagaries of research by focussing on how to be assertive and the "three C's of emotional resilience": Commitment, Challenge, Control. By the end of the course: participants will know and develop effective coping strategies and learn about how to increase their commitment, challenge and control of their research.
Outcomes:
- Understand the Three C's of emotional resilience
- Develop effective coping strategies and tools to become more assertive
- Feel more confident in your ability to cope with the PhD, wider research process, and life more generally
All graduate students and postdoctoral researchers / research staff.
Postdoctoral researchers and research staff are welcome to attend this course, but may prefer to attend or follow up with Postdocs: Building Resilience and Coping with Setbacks and / or Postdocs: Being Assertive and Making Yourself Heard, which are tailored specifically to the postdoctoral experience.
