“No way! The deadline is next month already…?” Postdocs need to be able to manage a wide variety of projects, including research, tutoring, teaching and spending sufficient time with your own family. It takes good project and time management to use the resources available to you in the best possible way. This workshop offers different methods and strategies to help you achieve this, with a focus on real-life situations and acute needs. The goal is to reflect on and pragmatically adjust work and self-organization and the highest-priority projects are managed in the best possible way.

Als Wissenschaftler:in mit einem eigenen, anspruchsvollen Forschungsprojekt werden die vielfältigen Herausforderungen nach Abschluss der Promotion nicht weniger. Um sich bei den Fragen rund um die Arbeit auszutauschen und zu unterstützen, bietet ein Peer Coaching den geeigneten Rahmen. Das oft als Quadratur des Kreises erlebte Multitasking als Forscher:in, Lehrer:in, Manager:in und Mensch mit Privatleben kann in seinen Problemstellungen via Feedback und Beratung neu bewertet und strukturiert werden. Der Kick-Off-Workshop vermittelt die Arbeitsweise von Peer-Coaching-Teams und initiiert eine Probesitzung.

As an academic with your own demanding research project, the number of challenges facing you once the PhD thesis has been successfully concluded will not decrease. Peer coaching is the perfect platform for talking about your own project to others and giving each other mutual support. The multitasking you need to cope with as a researcher, teacher, manager and private individual can seem an impossible hurdle to overcome, yet the problems it brings can be reassessed and restructured on the basis of feedback and consultation. The kick-off workshop will give you an idea of how peer coaching teams work and will guide you through a trial session.
