Achieving More by Beating Yourself Up Less:
Perfectionism, Values and Self-Leadership in the Postdoc Phase
Trainer: Dr. Sybille Hüfner
Description
The postdoc years are often marked by high expectations, limited contracts, and the constant pressure to publish and perform. Many postdocs struggle with perfectionism, striving for excellence while battling self-criticism and doubt. This workshop offers strategies to approach these challenges more constructively.
Mindful self-compassion can be a powerful resource to navigate the demands of the postdoc phase, helping you shift from perfectionism as pressure to perfectionism as growth.
Content
- Getting to know your inner critical voice in the context of academic life
- Understanding what this voice is trying to tell you during the postdoc phase
- Looking deeper: what perfectionism reveals about your values and fears
- Meeting challenges with self-kindness instead of harshness
- Motivating yourself with compassion to fulfill your potential as a research
