“From knowing who I am, to knowing what I want, to getting what I want, which will lead to a more fulfilled life”

Workshops

The recurrent theme in my workshops is awareness by addressing questions such as:

• What are my responsibilities as a leader in science?
• How do I hear and understand others?
• How do I make myself heard and understood?
• How do priming, bias, stereotypes, and personalities affect our professional lives?
• What is the range of my influence on my surroundings?
• How can I create a diverse & inclusive surrounding?

Target groups:

• PhD students, postdocs, and group leaders
• groups of women scientists
• groups of mixed gender
• hopefully in the future, also for groups of men scientists

Workshops:

• Leadership Skills
• Interpersonal Communication Skills
• (Self-)leadership
• Gender equity in science

Aims of my workshops include:

• become more aware of who you are and what you want,
• understand the influence of priming, bias and stereotypes in our every-day lives,
• understand how personality & individual needs shape interpersonal communication,
• learn to communicate clearly as a member of a research group or as a leader,
• understand what is leadership (style) and how it differs from management,
• know how to create an environment where members of the research group feel motivated, inspired, fulfilled (by their leadership),
• learn to embrace fairness regarding gender as well as cultural, societal and professional background

I tailor my work as much as possible to the client in order to fulfil needs and expectations wherever I can. Therefore I collaborate with other trainers, coaches and facilitators on topics such as negotiation, academic mobility, creativity, oral presentation skills, poster design skills, scientific writing, project management, …
