During this course you will gain insight in the way your thoughts and emotions affect your behaviour and performance and you will acquire the skills to deal with them effectively. You will work on your mental skills to stay focused and avoid distraction by concerns. You will assess self-valued behaviour regarding your PhD activities as well as other areas in life and learn to behave accordingly, retaining the optimum level energy during their PhD trajectory.

The course consists of an individual in- and outtake and four group meetings (3h each) in between. The group meetings serve to create self-awareness among the participants through education, small exercises and peer discussions. Furthermore, experiential learning through homework assignments is an essential part of the learning process.

This course is free for GSLS PhD candidates. However: free of charge does not mean free of responsibility. Once you have signed up for a course, we expect you to attend. For every late cancellation or no-show we have had to disappoint others who would have liked to attend. This is our policy:

• You may cancel free of charge up to 4 weeks before the start of the course. After this date you can only cancel if you have a GSLS PhD candidate to replace you in the course. Send the name and contact information of your replacement to pcc@uu.nl, at least 2 working days before the start of the course;
• We expect that you actively attend the full course, but at least 80%. It is mandatory to attend the first session. If you are absent the first session you cannot follow the remaining of the course;
• Not meeting the above requirements means you will be charged a no-show fee (€ 175). We will send the invoice after the course has ended. We are unable to make any exceptions, unless you have a valid reason (i.e., illness or death in the family 1^st/2^nd degree or partner). Your supervisor has to send an e-mail to pcc@uu.nl indicating the reason.
