Seminars and workshops
Mastering the art of intercultural communication, 6 October, 9.00–12.00 (via Zoom, in English)
This three-hours workshop in English is designed to help you manage intercultural communication more successfully. We will talk about different cultural values and how these can lead to miscommunication or even conflict when they are not well understood. You will learn about different styles of communication and will be encouraged to examine your own background, assumptions and tendencies. We will also explore the extent of individual variation and how to handle this in the workplace and elsewhere. A special focus is on Swedish culture: how it affects communication, the traps this can create in international contexts, and how to avoid them. The workshop, led by Gregory Garretson (The Eloquence Factory), is open to researchers, teaching staff, doctoral students and academic leaders. We encourage research groups to attend together, to foster ongoing discussion of these topics. Sign up for this workshop on this link.
How to build a support network for your next career step(s), 13 October, 9.00–12.00 (via Zoom, in English)
Have you ever been told networking is important for your career but somehow found it challenging, uncomfortable and somewhat embarrassing to actually do it? This workshop aims to demystify networking and provide tips and tricks on how to build a network to support you in your career. The event will also introduce strategies both for networking in person and on digital platforms such as LinkedIn. Facilitated by Kerstin Fritsches of PostdocTraining, the session will give you the opportunity to interact with other researchers at Uppsala University while working through your own approach to creating a network that will help you accelerate your progress and achieve your career priorities.

Academic productivity for academic staff with a doctoral degree – from efficiency to effectiveness, 15 November, 9.00–12.00 (on campus, in English)
This workshop provides you with a toolbox for moving from efficiency to effectiveness. The background to this workshop is that we often focus on the content of our work but sometimes forget to pay attention to our own work process or how we work, think and act. However, the process is central in order to complete our work on time and feel well during the process. More specifically, you will learn three academic productivity tools; the 80/20 principle, end product focus and the unit method, and apply them to your own work situation.

Coaching; mindset and skills, 27 October, 9.00-12.00 (on campus, in English)
Are you a supervisor, mentor or leader? Do you have someone nearby that is about to take a step into a world that neither of you know much about? Maybe this someone is a doctoral student about to finish, a post doc with a contract running out or a colleague contemplating change. Welcome to this workshop where we in a small group and interactive setting explore the mindset and skills of coaching to help someone else start the journey into unknown ground. During the workshop we will explore how to develop a professional dialogue with supportive, socratic questions and listen with heart and mind. We will make use of a working material that you can bring home for future use. Sign up for the seminar on the link below and the heading "Career seminars" https://www.timecenter.se/karriarochledning/
Self-leadership in academia, 17 November, 9.00–12.00 (on campus, in English)
How can we navigate this complex academia? How can we not get sidetracked by the “game of academia” – its structures of assessment and promotion – and keep our compass pointing towards our own True North for the sake of a transformative, regenerative future? Drawing on somatic – the art and science of working with the person in their wholeness (body, mind, thoughts, feelings, experiences, stories) – this three-hour workshop offers concrete tools and strategies for soulful and sustainable self-leadership in academia. This workshop, led by Professor Doris Rusch, is open to researchers, teaching staff, doctoral students and academic leaders. Sign up for this workshop on this link.
Mastering small talk at conferences and elsewhere, 8 December, 13.15–16.00 (on campus, in English)
Conferences and seminars obviously involve sharing research, but they are also social events that offer excellent opportunities to meet people and develop your professional network. However, many people find the social aspects of these events uncomfortable or intimidating. In this workshop, we will examine why we fear talking to new people, explore the characteristics of successful small talk and good conversation, and present strategies that you can use at conferences and elsewhere. You will engage in activities designed to get you thinking creatively about social encounters and to give you practice in meeting new people in a stimulating and fun atmosphere. The workshop, led by Gregory Garretson (The Eloquence Factory), is open to researchers, teaching staff, doctoral students and academic leaders. The workshop will conclude with a reception where you will have a chance to mingle with new acquaintances and continue the discussion.

Den hållbara rösten, 1 mars, 09.00–12.00 (on campus, in Swedish)
Att kunna prata är något vi ofta tar förgivet men hur vi gör det, det vill säga hur vi använder själva rösten, tänker vi inte alltid på. Den ska hålla hela livet, vid förkylningar, stress och fungera när vi behöver kunna tala länge och att den hörs utan ansträngning. Rösten färgar vårt budskap med dess kvalitet, styrka, röstläge, tempo, variationer mm. Den påverkas lätt av känslor och förhållningssätt som till exempel nervositet, stress eller trygghet. I denna workshop tittar vi på hur de olika delarna kan påverka hur lyssnaren tar emot det som sägs, vilken föreställning vi har om hur röster låter – gäll, tråkig, monoton, sprucken o.s.v. – och hur röstbeteendet kan förstärka eller förminska både budskap och förtroende. Det finns gott om åsikter och uttryck om hur en röst kan låta och det är inte ovanligt att rösten kopplas till hur vi tycker en person är. Välkommen till en workshop om röstens funktion och fysiologi, andning och röstteknik. Länk till webbanmälan.
Imposter syndrome workshop - no date set yet (on campus, in English)
Have you ever felt not good enough, out of your depth or like you are waiting to be found out? Then you might be experiencing what has been called Imposter syndrome and you are certainly not the only one. This workshop covers the characteristics of the imposter syndrome, understanding it and how you might start to overcome your thinking traps and manage your own, or someone else´s imposter syndrome. The workshop is run by Roger Fielding, certified coach and lecturer in coaching at the University of Cambridge.
