Two-part online workshop with Sanne Frandsen
In this two-part workshop, you will learn how to develop your unique academic profile and communicate it with confidence. Through coaching questions, the facilitator will guide you in articulating and visually mapping out your individual academic profile. This will set a strong foundation for job applications, seeking funding opportunities, and overall taking the next steps in your academic career.
We will also discuss how your academic profile can serve as a career compass, guiding decisions around conference participation, teaching engagements, networking opportunities, and targeted publishing to align with and reinforce your professional story.
While much can be gained from clearly communicating ‘who we are’ and ‘what we do’, such visibility can also trigger several hiding strategies and inner barriers of feeling ‘not being a good enough academic’ or ‘not ready yet’. In the seminar, we will discuss some of the most typical inner barriers to making yourself visible to the world and how to overcome them in order to take the next steps in your career.
In WORKSHOP 1 you will learn:
- Define your academic profile
- Create an academic mission statement
- Prioritizing and alignment
In WORKSHOP 2 you will learn
- Stop hiding and enhance your visitiblity as a researcher
- Networking and establishing new connections
- Quieting your inner critic
The workshops are aligned with an overall idea of ‘job crafting’, a bottom-up strategy for intentionally and proactively creating a job and career that is meaningful for us individually and helping us advance in academia in a way that is aligned with our values and dreams.
The facilitation is based on group coaching and interactive learning activities. The aim is to guide you through questions and activities that are general for the group but make the result of the workshop individually tailored to the participant’s individual work, career, and values. In each session, we will also share experiences, learn from each other, and support one another as a community.
Dates:
Workshop 1: 28th of March at 9.00-12.00
Workshop 2: 11th of April at 9.00-12.00
