Self-leadership is the process by which a person becomes more comfortable with who they are and what they want, allowing them to fulfill their potential and build a strong foundation from which to take daily decisions – both professional and personal. Self-leadership enables more effective communication, enhanced fulfillment and more balanced decisions. In the world of scientific research, both men and women can benefit from learning and practicing self-leadership to improve their professional and personal lives. This course aims to give the participants support, advice and tools to use in their leadership roles.

In this workshop, we will explore the topic of self-leadership by addressing self-awareness, self-confidence and self-efficacy. At the same time, the workshop provides a space where the participants can exchange ideas and strategies on how to cope with situations they may be facing due to being part of a minority group.
