The academic community prides itself on its critical ability. But constant criticism has a cost. Moreover, research is fraught with knockbacks from journals, job applications and funding rejections. How we build our confidence and retain our self-belief is pivotal to our success as academic professionals.
This session on Monday 27 January will focus on the Inner Game of being a researcher. We’ll examine the beliefs that help and limit our capabilities, and specifically we’ll focus on:
- Confidence building, and dealing with ‘Imposterness’
- Building personal resilience for handling rejection and criticism
- Personal wellbeing and work-life balance
