This workshop will help you to analyse where your strengths and experiences are and where you have gaps in your knowledge of development needs. Participants will each work on a personal development plan which they can take away and use as part of their career development. The session is led by an experienced coach and mentor in HE, and will use tools which have been successful in the past in directing ECRs and more junior academics to think about what sort of academic role is best for them and what institution fits with their values. While the focus will be on a holistic career, participants may want to concentrate on their research trajectory.
