As early-career researchers you enter into a time of great change. You have to meet new professional demands; play numerous roles; and know your personal qualities. Oh, wait, there’s also a thesis to write and a private life to take care of!
Don’t let this drive you nuts! There is a tool for self-management that allows you to master your life inside and outside the academy, and makes you bounce back when there are setbacks and crises: resilience (from Latin resilire, 'to bounce back'). This workshop activates and develops your resilience skills in interactive units of analysis, self-reflection, communication and pragmatic counsel. My goal is to familiarise you with ready-to-use methods which strengthen your long-term productivity and your mental health, which encourage you to adapt to difficult situations, and which help you maintain a balance between work and life.
