Postdoc Academy

 

Would you like to transform your leadership potential by developing your skills alongside fellow postdocs from across the UK? We are now accepting applications for the next round of Resilient Leadership in Action!

Resilient Leadership in Action is a nationally recognised, practical training programme delivered online in collaboration with several other institutions, including host King's College London. 

This highly interactive programme offers a unique opportunity to reshape your ideas about being a leader and expand your leadership skills, supported by experienced coaches and fellow researchers from different disciplines and institutions.

The programme will also help you to:

  • understand the impact of leadership styles on those being led
  • influence people towards a common goal/purpose
  • receive feedback on your own leadership styles and identify how these can be developed further
  • engage with researchers from a variety of disciplines, backgrounds and career stages.

Postdocs who participated on previous rounds of the course had this to say:

"Very useful and empowering course in an area that is difficult to develop otherwise."

"The course is great and engaging from the first instant. This is a great opportunity to implement your leadership skills with plenty of fun and challenging activities. Recommended!"

"The Resilient Leadership in Action programme is transformational. If you are open to constructive feedback the program is definitely for you. The feedback can be sometimes hard to take in but that is what makes the programme outstanding. Be open to learning and adjusting, because the overall goal is to help you become a better leader, maybe now or sometime in the future."
