This training is designed specifically for supervisors of PhD candidates and focuses primarily on coaching skills.
Supervising PhD candidates on a daily basis is a task that many scientists perform alongside their research and teaching activities. Every PhD candidate is different and therefore requires its own coaching strategy. In this training course, you develop coaching skills that help your PhD candidate solve problems independently in a pleasant atmosphere, while at the same time focusing and communicating sufficiently so that your PhD candidate completes the PhD within the time allowed.
This training is for supervisors of PhD candidates with 1 to 5 years of experience.
The training covers the following topics:
- Situational leadership
- Communication styles and negotiation
- Supervision of planning
- Coaching and mentoring
- Supervising the writing process
- Core qualities and collaboration
- Scientific integrity and social safety
