During this interactive workshop, we will explore the phenomenon of Imposter Syndrome, its possible triggers and potential consequences, and consider some approaches for handling the associated thoughts and feelings.

This 1.5-hour participative workshop from how2glu will help you to identify key outcomes and objectives of your research and map out realistic and achievable alternative routes to achieving them. In this way you will be able to interrogate options and create a ‘back up plan’ should you need one in the future.

In this 2 hour 15 minute workshop we will identify a range of different challenges you may face during your PhD research experience and ways you can generate more positive outcomes.

This 2 hr 15 minute online workshop will allow you to identify skills and share strategies for effective networking to build effective research and industry relationships. You will be introduced to practical tools to enhance your networking approach and we’ll cover online/virtual modes of networking too.

Completing a PhD is one of the biggest intellectual goals anyone can have set for themselves. However, goals this big need breaking down into more manageable targets that stimulate and keep momentum throughout the research process.

This half-day workshop will help you make the most out the research that you’ve already done by making you aware of a method for categorising knowledge, and knowledge-finding, by how accessible and/or known it is.

Communicating your research to non-specialists in a concise and engaging way is a premier skill for researchers: not everyone does it well, yet everyone has the capacity to do so. This webinar brings together some crucial factors for success.

In this workshop you will assess your responses to situations and people, focusing on a better balance and respect for your own needs, priorities and feelings, alongside those of others.

This workshop focuses on the preparation for talking about your research, rather than the delivery of presentations. By using storytelling techniques and focusing on the message, this workshop will help researchers communicate their passion to any audience. There are four key parts to the the workshop: audiences, storytelling structures, storyboarding, visual aids.

In this interactive workshop you will encounter a range of approaches and tools for managing and supporting your research activities, offering opportunities for more creative problem-solving and decision-making.

Upgrading from MPhil to the status of PhD candidate is an important milestone for postgraduate researchers. Crucially, you must submit the work you've done so far and explain its potential as an original and significant piece of research.

This 6-week course is dedicated to early-stage researchers who are seeking guidance and peer support while working towards the upgrade. Through this training, you'll make significant progress, share ideas, and build a network.

In this workshop we will introduce you to a forensic approach to reading. We’ll explore how the writers you admire capture and hold your attention, looking for what works – and what doesn’t work.

This workshop addresses the all-too-common problem of front-loading the writing process, whereby some students spend the bulk of their time researching, leaving their write-up until the end, with too little time for thinking. We instil early on a habit of multiple drafting and polishing.

In this half-day workshop we’ll explore practical ways to find and file source material and then extract the information you need in the most efficient way. You’ll also practice stepping back from your notes to shape a strong narrative that tells the ‘story so far’ in a clear and compelling way, thereby setting the stage for your own contribution.

Are you prone to procrastinating? Do you avoid writing until you’ve got your ideas fully worked out? Do you fear the blank page? If you find yourself looking for reasons not to start writing, then this workshop can help.

In this workshop, you'll be guided through several divergent thinking, free-writing and contemplative activities designed to help you interrogate your research project from new perspectives. We’ll also discuss ways you can adapt your working habits in order to optimise your productivity and engineer a state of mind in which insights are more likely to occur.
