Group Coaching on “Time Mastery in Science”
Process
The coaching sessions will be conducted online via Zoom in English.
The process consists of 3 sessions:
- 1. session: 19.01.2024 from 10:00-12:30
- 2. session: 02.02.2024 from 10:00-12:30
- 3. session: 16.02.2024 from 10:00-12:30
It is important that you participate in all 3 sessions to maximize the coaching success. So note down the 3 dates in your calender as soon as you book this group coaching ;)
The gap between each session allows participants to apply their insights and learning, as well as reflect on their progress.
Since it is a group-coaching, we have only a very limited number of available places- so better be fast!
Need and aim of the group-coaching
In today’s competitive academic environment, young academics face increasing pressure to perform in order to succeed. This pressure often leads to tension as expectations from different levels - such as the academic system, the university, supervisors, and self - converge. Driven by passion and dedication, young academics often struggle with overwhelming workloads, deadlines and the constant pressure to excel. Personal feedback and opportunities for debriefing are often limited, leading to the perception of 'not being good enough'. As a result, stress can impair cognitive abilities, affecting the capacity for creativity and problem-solving skills that are essential in science. Ultimately, the cumulative effect may deter talented individuals from pursuing or continuing careers in academia.
Content Main topics that will be explored and discussed during the group coaching process:
Group coaching on time mastery and wellbeing in science addresses this challenge by providing young scientists a personal journey to develop a balance between their professional and personal lives, promoting not only success at work but also overall happiness. This process equips PhD candidates with a resilient mindset and a solid foundation, enabling them to persevere through major challenges during their thesis work, preventing them from giving up and quitting their work. Moreover, the process has a positive impact on relationships with supervisors, peers, and collaborators.
Furthermore, participants will form supportive peer groups, fostering ongoing support and collaboration beyond the coaching process. Integrated one-on-one coaching sessions ensure
the coaching is connected to individual needs, challenges, and goals, thus maximizing the learning impact for each participant. In essence, this type of group coaching is pivotal as it doesn't just address immediate challenges but equips PhD students with essential life skills and support structures crucial for their academic success.
