    Episode #8 - What's next?

    The final weeks of the PhD journey can be particularly stressful. Alongside finishing or revising papers, you also need to tie together the different parts of your research in the introduction and discussion sections of your dissertation. At the same time, with funding potentially running out soon, it's crucial to start exploring job opportunities. Where do you see yourself after the PhD? What’s important to you? Which roles might fit you best? To help answer these questions, in this episode, PhD student Rebecca Wald talks to coach Maartje Luijten about how to finish the PhD while preparing for the next chapter.

    Episode #7 - Writing

    Writing is a crucial part of everyone’s PhD journey. Yet, for most of us it does not come easy and can be a source of frustration. The good news is: Writing is something that develops with practice, and that we can train and develop over time. But how to get started? In this episode, PhD student Willemijn Helmich talks to academic writing coach Jeanine de Bruin about the challenge of writing a dissertation next to a full-time job, how to integrate writing into a busy working schedule and how to make it a more meaningful and fun activity.

    Episode #6 - Career Planning

    Obtaining your PhD is one thing, knowing what to do after is another. And even if we know what it is we want, there might be barriers keeping us from pursuing our goals. In our latest episode, PhD student Tajda Laure speaks to coach and coaching researcher Dr. Tim Theeboom about the difficulty of knowing what career path is right for you and how to take the steps that get you closer to your goals.

    Episode #5 - Information overload

    For PhD students, it is important to gain an in-depth understanding of the topic that we are studying. Immersing ourselves in our work is therefore a crucial part of our jobs. Yet, high engagement can also slow us down when we get lost in details. To avoid falling down the ‘rabbit hole’, and losing sight of what is important at the moment, we need to set boundaries for ourselves. In this episode, we speak to PhD student Charlotte Vaassen and psychologist and professional coach Christianne Vink about how to nourish moments of flow while at the same time limiting our tendency to ‘overshoot’.

    Episode #4 - Meaning

    Doing work that is personally meaningful is an important source of motivation for many PhD students. At the same time, having great passion and being intrinsically motivated for the job can also lead PhD students to overinvest in their careers. In this episode, we speak to PhD student Anastassia Vivanco Carlevari and former editor of Harvard Business Review, Karen Dillon about ‘how to measure your life’.

    Episode #3 - Stereotypes in Academia

    What does it mean to not fit the stereotype of a scientist? In this episode PhD student Noor Abdulhussain shares with us how coming from a non-western background has made her demand a lot from herself and work extra hard during her PhD studies and beyond. Together with coaching practitioner and researcher Dr. Raija Salomaa, we discuss how finding recognition can help us when we are doubting ourselves or our place in academia.
