Masterclass: From Surviving to Thriving - Creating a Personally Meaningful

Agenda

As we end the year and contemplate the next, many of us will confront the complexities of career navigation amid evolving demands and pressures. This online masterclass is designed for research assistants and technicians and aimed at equipping you with research-based strategies grounded in Corey Keyes' Flourishing model.
In this interactive session, we will delve into the science of flourishing, highlighting how well-being is not just the absence of stress, but an active pursuit of fulfillment and success in your research career. In the session, we will explore your current state, identify what is getting in the way, and develop a plan to move towards a thriving career.
