M4. Workshop –Leadership and coaching in science

by Damjana Kastelic

 

This practical workshop will introduce the very important concept of leadership and coaching in science. Scientific careers are very complex, demanding, uncertain, and often accompanied by many rejections. At times, it can be challenging to maintain excellent scientific performance in such a complex environment, and to master interpersonal dynamics as well as their research teams. Coaching is one of the most powerful techniques by blending active listening, asking open-ended questions, setting SMART goals, and emotional intelligence by being fully present and focused. Concrete coaching tools and practices will be introduced, that participants can apply in their research groups to improve interpersonal communication and to establish greater emotional safety for their lab members. Because only a safe environment, where new ideas and constructive feedback are supported, can foster innovation and growth.
