For years you have worked very hard on your PhD. You’ve learned a lot; you’ve been through highs and lows and got to know the world of academia. At the end of all these years, your thesis is (nearly?) finished. But then what?
Do I stay in academia, or do I go? What do I actually like to do in the future? And how can I find out what fits me?
This two-hour workshop will give you tools to work on these questions and find your own answers. In an interactive online session, we will talk about the struggles you face in the process of orientation on your future career.
Through theory and exercises, you will learn what motivates you, how you can approach difficult decisions, and what your ideal future could look like. We share tips to search for the place that fits you. When you have an idea of what you want, the next thing is finding an actual place that looks like that. What steps can you take to make the next move? And what might be holding you back to go for the future you want?
The workshop is hosted by Marjolijn de Boer. She is a coach who guides people to lead a life true to what motivates them, so they can mean the most to themselves, others and the world. Using evidence-informed methods, she coaches people to live with self-confidence, accept themselves, overcome fears and make authentic decisions. Besides being a coach, Marjolijn works for a Dutch organisation for scientists in sustainability (Het Groene Brein).
This event will be held online and is free of charge. There is limited capacity so please make sure to sign up asap.
