Coaching Circle #2 - Procrastination
Welcome to my Coaching Circle for science professionals - in research, research support, project management, communication, freelancing, entrepreneurship, and beyond.
The Coaching Circle is an online space bringing together people who want to build sustainable careers in science, where both purpose, fulfilment, and personal life co-exist in harmony.
With these circles I want to offer you the opportunity to share about your career struggles, self-reflect on them with my support, and connect with other-like minded people who are going through similar challenges.
The topic for this session is "Procrastination".
How often do you procrastinate?
Are you aware of when and why you do it?
How is it impacting your goals and productivity?
We all know that procrastination is a strong barrier to reaching your goals. It can be related to overwhelm, lack of self-confidence, or other internal processes that prevent you from having the clarity and self-trust to move forward.
Let's get together to explore how you deal with procrastination and support each other to find new ways to approach it.
How will the session look like?
I want these sessions to be co-created with the participants so the format might evolve as we go. This is an experiment, so be open to help me navigate it so I can serve you the best way I can. :-)
A typical session will include:
Welcome and grounding in the space with a gentle breathing practice
Individual introductions by the participants
Introduction to the theme of the session
Small group discussions to exchange perspectives
Group discussion on key insights
10 min of "hot seat" coaching to someone who wants to get personalised support by me on a burning challenge.
Closing with conclusions, feedback, and a short meditation.
I deeply believe in the power of community and in overcoming our challenges together through connection and mutual support.
If this resonates, I'd love to welcome you in this Coaching Circle!
Note: Your first session is FREE - please choose newcomer ticket when you sign up.
For those who joined before, I suggest the payment of a small fee to support my work. Thank you!
About the Host
Hello! My name is Ana Amaral. I am Portuguese and currently based in the Cascais area, near Lisbon.
I’m a certified coach, trainer, yoga teacher, and former scientist with a deep love for creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves and their human side, realign their direction, and build thriving, meaningful lives and careers.
I have a PhD in Biochemistry and spent 15+ years in highly competitive and international research environments, including Cambridge University (UK) and Karolinska Institute (Stockholm). With my experience I found a big gap in self-leadership development, emotional and mental resilience skills, and career management tools in scientists.
In my work I blend the themes of self-leadership, body-mind connection, and wellbeing to support my clients nurture their self-confidence, gain clarity about their goals, and build fulfilling and thriving lives aligned with who they are.
