Getting out of your own way
There are lots of things that get in the way of research without your own self-doubting and pressure raising voices. This session is an invitation to learn to spot the many guises of ‘the Gremlin’ or ‘inner critic’ and start to manage them in more helpful ways. |

The art of procrastination
If you need to come to this call, most likely you’ll find reasons not to come to this call! We’ll be exploring just what is it that makes us do everything except the thing that matters to us, and identify strategies to get things done. |

Getting unstuck
While research ought to be a creative space, the habits of evaluating and critique can often become a trap. This call is about untapping your creative potential in ways that will enable you to open up different perspectives and be more creative in how you approach your research. |
