(S6E6) Unlocking Researchers' Career Success Through Group Programs
Manage episode 383956345 series 3409585
In our weekly Research Culture Uncovered conversations we are asking what is Research Culture and why does it matter? In this episode of Season 6, Emma Spary is joined by Ruth Winden, shedding light on the power of group dynamics in career development programmes.
How do group dynamics add value to the career development process? This episode emphasises the power of group dynamics, celebrating early wins, and fostering long-term career transformation. Through our cohort-based programs, we aim not just to help individuals gain confidence and self-belief, but also to highlight the importance of shared experiences, mutual support, and diverse perspectives. The underlying goal? To help researchers recognise their own skills and expertise, and navigate their careers confidently.
The main points include:
- Importance of groups in providing support, validation, and affirmation
- Role of facilitators in building trust and conflict management
- Personal engagement and recognition that researchers are not alone in career struggles
- Risks associated with the wrong mix of participants
- The challenges and rewards that come with this approach.
- To hear more from previous participants of our career development programmes, take a listen to Ruth's season on Research Careers
