Amid the hectic and complex demands of an academic career, it's difficult to find space to stop and consider the big career questions such as, what does a ‘successful’ career mean to me? What opportunities should I act on (and which should I leave behind)? Am I making the most of my strengths? What are my longer-term career goals?

Taking a step-back from the everyday demands of work to examine the ‘bigger picture’ of your career values, strengths and goals, enables you to take a proactive approach to managing your career.

In this interactive workshop, you'll build a clearer picture of what’s important and meaningful to you in your career. With the support of a professional coach and other workshop participants, you'll identify your short, medium, and longer-term career goals, along with the key practical actions that will help you to achieve them.

We'll consider strategies to help with prioritisation of opportunities/activities, including how and when to say ‘no’.
