  • Intervision for Associate professors

  • Manage your inbox

    In this short practical training, you will learn how to regain control over your emails, to process your email correspondence quicker and get a better overview of your tasks.

  • Mindfulness

    Mindfulness meditation is a way to focus your attention on what is there at the present moment. By being more conscious about how you react to a situation emotionally and physically, you can identify stress quicker. That gives you the chance to handle it more consciously instead of reacting out of habit or reflex and thus to respond to difficult situations in a more adequate way.

    In this training, we invite you to uncover and examine your own talents, ambitions and limitations in an experiential manner. We will establish a link between your personal goals and professional challenges.

  • Time management

    Bursting mailboxes and to-do lists, unexpected distractions, unrealistic planning and demanding environment: “simply” doing your work is probably a daily challenge for you. Your own procrastination, perfectionism or uncontrolled helpfulness possibly contribute to it. In three intervision and training sessions, you will increase your self-knowledge, experience what is important to you and get insights in how to influence your environment.

  • How to deal with perfectionism

    This course is focusing on identifying and working on the unhelpful parts, so that you get satisfaction from your achievements and lead a more fulfilling life.
