The challenges of research life in the NHS can make it hard to sustain a sense of personal resilience and well-being. Unique to these workshops, you are not going to be told what resilience is, and what you SHOULD do to build it. Resilience comes in many shapes and forms, generally pointing to the ability to recover from setbacks, to adapt to changing circumstance and keep going in the face of adversity.
This workshop is delivered over 2 half day online session and are designed to build on your experience and the collective wisdom of the group, to develop an understanding of what resilience means for you and how you can develop strategies to nourish and sustain it in everyday life. Each workshop can be attended as a standalone workshop through they do have a different emphasis.
The second workshop Managing the Inner Critic will look at what gets in the way, including explore your relationship to failure and ‘performing’, getting to know your inner critic and how to stay centred and grounded when you get knocked off balance. 2nd SEPEMBER 2025, PM ONLY, ONLINE
Each half-day will be an experiential and interactive coaching-based workshop creating opportunity to re-engage with your own sense of personal resilience and well-being, and be challenged with how to bring that into your everyday research life. These are half-day online workshops and you can register to attend both of them or just one that you feel is most relevant to you.
