Self-leadership: look within to succeed
Date: 15 - 17 September 2021
Language of instruction: English
In the world of scientific research, women clearly form a minority at the level of group leaders and professors. Increasing the number of women in science can only be reached through a diversity of approaches.
One essential contribution to this is conscious efforts from both men and women, which requires awareness on all sides.
Another essential factor is supporting women's self-leadership, i.e. the process by which they will become more comfortable with who they are and what they want, thus leading to better communication and fulfillment.
In this workshop, we will explore the topic of self-leadership by addressing self-awareness, self-confidence and self-efficacy. At the same time, the workshop provides a space where women can exchange ideas and strategies on how to cope with situations they may be facing due to being part of a minority group.
