Personal and professional development: to gain knowledge, skills, and strategies that can help me grow both personally and professionally.
Deeper self-reflection: interested in exploring my inner selves, understanding my core values, beliefs, and motivations, and gaining deeper insights into myself.
Work-life balance: Joining authenticity talks provides me with the opportunity to learn how to prioritize my well-being, manage my time more effectively, and create a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle for myself.
Personal leadership: I want to take the lead in my academic year by focusing on what truly matters to me, setting meaningful goals, and making decisions aligned with my aspirations and values.
Creativity: co-creating a supportive environment where creativity and mental health are valued helps me feel more comfortable expressing myself, taking risks, and exploring new ideas.
Like-minded connections: by participating in authenticity talks, I'll have the chance to connect with individuals who share similar interests, goals, and values, fostering a sense of community in an otherwise kind of solitary or isolated work environment.
Clarity and goals: Engaging allows me to gain a deeper understanding of my strengths, and my specific areas for growth.
Focused choices: I'll develop new strategies, receiving feedback, and accessing resources and support that can help me excel in my chosen fields.

Losing energy because of ruminating about your performance and future? Constantly comparing and ranking yourself to Others?

Then this may just be the training for you:

Feeling we belong in academia starts with recognizing how we sabotage ourselves exactly
Raise your awareness to shared patterns in self-defeating behavior
Recognize your personal style in self-sabotage
Learn how to ‘welcome everything’ that is alive in you
Enhance your skillfulness in guiding yourself when you get lost (and you will…) in comparisons to Others.

Learning objectives
If we are not observant, academic dynamics can easily cultivate discontent within ourselves. Leading to subtle background noises of not being good/ fast/ brilliant/ excellent enough to [fill in the blank]. What if we were to actually listen to this noise, and learn to hear the core quality hidden in it?

Insights
By testing out five common patterns of self-defeating behavior, you will gain insight in your personal style in self-sabotage.

Knowledge
You will learn that these dynamics are not here to be fixed. Rather: they are here to be understood and addressed. They inform you in how to cultivate healthy boundary repertoire.

Skills
You will enhance your skillfulness in observing yourself non-judgmentally and guide yourself towards more spacious thoughts and behavior than the cramped ranking-and-comparing-version of yourself.

Motivation
You will feel motivated to guide yourself with empathy and more skillfully in addressing self-defeating behavior and thoughts as they arise throughout your day or week.
