Why Coaching for PhD Students?
Navigating The Academic Landscape
In the demanding world of academia, aspiring researchers are constantly striving to excel, often facing overwhelming workloads, tight deadlines and constant pressure to perform. This relentless pursuit of excellence can take a toll on mental wellbeing, leading to stress, anxiety and feelings of inadequacy.
Where as passion and dedication fuel these academics, the lack of feedback and opportunities for reflection can exacerbate these challenges. Perceptions of 'not being good enough' can become deeply ingrained, hindering their progress and diminishing their belief in their abilities.
This cumulative effect can have a profound impact, potentially deterring talented PhD students from pursuing or continuing their careers. The cognitive impairments caused by stress can affect their ability to be creative and innovative - the very qualities that are essential for scientific breakthroughs.
Solution-Focused Approach
Our coaching is guided by a solution-focused approach. That means that in our sessions, we focus on solutions and actions rather than dwelling on problems. Through reflective conversations, a little challenge and support, the participants will build on their strengths, identify their blind spots, and develop strategies for growth as a scientist and as a person.
