TuesdayMental Clarity and Decision-Making for Academics
Which project should I do next? What would be the best next move? Where should I focus my efforts? Should I look for another academic position or leave academia? Is this abstract I’ve written good enough? The path of the academic is full of decisions, and they all seem crucial. However, many of the hurdles we face in our decision-making stem from the way we think about the decisions themselves and several documented cognitive biases. In this workshop, we will work on emotional and psychological aspects of decision-making such as worry, procrastination, regret, and decision paralysis. We will also review the most common biases affecting our decision-making process as academics and practice some useful tools and strategies to reduce their impact.

ThursdayThe Psychology of Selves: Beyond Imposter Syndrome
This workshop is part of the IRENE Workshop Series "Surviving to Thriving in Academia". Many people are torn - afraid to speak up, be seen, or minimise their achievements and at the same time, are frustrated that they are getting in their own way. Feeling like you will be exposed to not know enough and being your own worst critic is a toxic combination. It can result in procrastination, individualism, and ruminating thoughts. • Learn the three layers of imposter syndrome, where these thoughts and beliefs originate from to build awareness of your behavioural pattern. • Discover your unique stress team of 'selves' and how to move beyond imposter syndrome by separating from their agendas and regaining real choice in your behaviour and actions. • Break the cycle of pre-empting, overthinking, and ruminating to catastrophe to unlock your true potential.

TuesdayDaring: The Art of Failing Gracefully
This workshop is part of the IRENE Workshop Series "Surviving to Thriving in Academia". "The physics of vulnerability. It's pretty simple: If we are brave enough often enough, we will fall. Daring is not saying, "I'm willing to risk failure." Daring is saying, "I know I will eventually fail, and I'm still all in." During this workshop take 3-steps towards failing gracefully and increase your resilience exponentially. • The Reckoning: Discover the pivotal successes and failures throughout your life and what you can learn from the nature of your failures over time. • The Rumble: Use an alternative CV of failures to become more resilient in your approach, separating success and failure from your self-worth. • The Revolution: Leave with the leadership to address failure positively. Specifically learn how to give and receive candid feedback without taking it personally and use failure to drive innovation.
