How to Run Career Experiments to Take The Next Step

​In this free, 1-hour interactive workshop, we'll explore five questions:

• ​Why do you get stuck overthinking?

• ​What assumptions might be limiting the career paths you're considering?

• ​How can curiosity help you approach career uncertainty differently?

• ​What are career experiments, and how can they help you explore new possibilities?

• ​How can you take the first small step without committing your future?

​Who is this for?

​PhD researchers, postdocs, senior scientists and research leaders who are questioning their next career move, considering a change in direction, or curious about what else they could do.

​Whether you're exploring opportunities within or beyond academia, this workshop is for those who want to move beyond overthinking and start exploring.

​What will we cover?

​We'll introduce the Career Experiments framework as a practical way to explore career possibilities through curiosity and small, low-risk experiments.

​You'll learn how to challenge assumptions about your career, identify what you're curious about, and use real-world experiences to discover what interests and energises you.

​There will also be short interactive exercises to help you design your own experiments, followed by time for questions.
