Training & Development
We deliver transformational researcher development training for PhD researchers and ECR academics that equips them with critical transferable skills, encourages them to take ownership of their research projects, and helps them succeed in their future careers either in academia or beyond.
The academic world is built on distinct practices, but these are rarely explained or written down. Generations of academics have had to learn these the hard way, but only slows everyone down and makes the journey frustrating. We strongly believe that there is a better way of sharing the hidden curriculum.
I am passionate about helping others understand how to make the most out of their academic journey.

Testimonials
"The session was very helpful. May be most suitable for early-stage PhD students who still have time to prepare and take advantage of the opportunities before the end of their studies. Knowing the potential opportunities is very helpful to plan ahead of time."
"I strongly recommend this course - it helped me reflect in a very practical way on how I am presenting myself through my CV. I immediately changed (and hopefully strengthened) my CV right after the course!"
"Self-confidence and being assertive are essential skills to learn during the PhD, and applied later in whatever career you choose to have!"
"Brilliant workshop. So much food for thought and useful information, knowledge and wisdom gained. Thank you!"
Participant 1 - Professional Identity workshop
PhD Researcher"I would strongly recommend the 'engaging presentations' workshop. It was well paced, very interactive, and full of great information. The presenters did a great job at demonstrating how to put on an engaging presentation!"
Participant 2 - Engaging Presentations workshop
PhD Researcher"I would 100% recommend this workshop. I learned so much regarding how to manage relationships, build networks, gained lots of valuable tips and advice for the future. The knowledge I gained at this workshop will most definitely help me in the future."
Participant 3 - Navigating Academic Conferences workshop
PhD Researcher"This course is particularly useful for students at all stages of their studies, but especially at the beginning. Establishing your online presence has become more and more important these days and it's never too early to start!"
