Assertiveness-Training for Female Researchers
Whether in the lab, during a disputation or on a field trip: everyday academic life can be characterized by a variety of challenges for women. In this seminar, we will practice how to face difficult situations confidently and successfully with clear communication and strong self-expression.
A strong impact, presence, individual self-expression, being calm and composed, but also: Defining your borders, retorting to verbal attacks in a direct and respectful manner, being courageous and trusting yourself… this is what we will be training in the workshop. We will practice clear communication and confident self-assertion, as much as mindfulness and meditation. All of these go together to create convincing self-expression and to support you for a safe and secure standing in your professional life.
June 8th, 2026 - 09:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. & June 9th, 2026 - 8:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Target Group: Women Scientists and Science Managers
