Since March 2023, I work as a trainer with hfp consulting. Inspired by the idea of a different, more humane culture in science, we run workshops and hold larger group symposia to strengthen the personal development and leadership skills of scientists around the globe, from across the career ladder.
How do we do that? Our trainings are very practice oriented: we set a clear frame for our time together and actively involve participants by keeping a good balance between input, individual reflection, partner work, small group work and whole group dialogue. We discuss how to maintain respect as a fundamental value of collaboration, how to listen well (emotional intelligence) and be assertive in our communication with others. Our goal is to empower participants to face everyday life challenges based on a long term vision and a deeper understanding of their personal and social needs, as well as the ability to motivate and involve others by clearly communicating their goals and values.
It is a wonderful opportunity to be part of hfp’s trainer team – we always co-facilitate workshops, each of us bringing their own scientific background, work experience and character to the job.
Looking forward to working with you!
