About the course

“learning how to deal with pressure and maintain your confidence and belief in yourself is one of the most powerful skills to be obtained during your PhD”

Are you ready to become master in influencing yourself positively? And through that what is happening around you?

Do you experience stress or are you in moments not happy and satisfaid in doing your work, study and in relationship with your supervisors? Don’t you know what to do with this stress and how you could solve it? Do you want a more balanced life? Do you want to use and see challenges and difficult moments as a opportunity for your own growth and are you willing to do what is necessary to take yourself to the next level? Do you want to follow a course that is less about more work content and more about you and your personal growth? Then this is the workshop you want to enter!

Topics include:

  • Working with your own personal case studies in which you experience stress and challenge
  • Getting familiar with your own mental/emotional state of being when you face challenge
  • Learn to look at your emotions and challenge from a different perspective
  • How you can use your challenges and turn them into something positive
  • Introduction to and work with the I+/I- theory
  • Setting personal goals which you can work with during your study
  • Coach and work with your fellow students


You will be introduced in the I+/I- theory which are the two ways you can live your life from.

We will help you to look at things differently, from a broader perspective and with ownership. We will look into stress and how you can make it work for instead of against you.

You will give yourself a chance to become more self-aware, to find out what you really want and how you can make that happen.

Note: this is a course that requires you to open up to yourself and fellow students and to actively participate.  Please be aware of this when signing in. Looking forward to work with you!
