In this soft skills workshop with Rob Thompson, you will learn how to gain the quiet confidence you need to eliminate any impostor syndrome you might have. This will help you succeed in your PhD and beyond without moving into arrogance. And because career success doesn’t come in isolation, this workshop will teach you how to easily build a beneficial network for conferences and collaborations.

The trainer, Rob Thompson, has over 15 years’ experience helping groups to improve their skills and confidence. He is a TEDx speaker and leads workshops in many of Europe’s top academic institutes.
