Description | Sometimes time away from work makes us re-evaluate our choices. This one-day workshop is an opportunity for returning trainees to explore their professional motivation and reconnect with why they chose their career path or specialty, or indeed reconsider whether it is now right for them. | ||
Additional information | Who is this workshop for? If you have ever found yourself questioning why you do the job you do, and feeling disconnected from the person who made that career choice in the first place, this workshop is for you. Come and meet others who have felt similarly, and reconnect with, or re-design, your career aims and aspirations. This is a relaxed, informal one-day workshop. The emphasis will be on exploring how you feel about your career in a non-judgemental environment. This day is completely independent from any discussion with faculty from your school. How will the workshop run? From 10am until 3pm via zoom. You will need to set up a zoom account in advance of the session if you don’t already have one. We will have tea/coffee breaks mid-morning and mid-afternoon and a 30 min lunchbreak. The workshop is interactive and involves some solo reflection activities, and some pairs/small group work. You will not be required to share anything you are not comfortable with sharing. Schedule: Rough timings are as follows (may change slightly according to the pace of the group)
