Voices for Well-being in Aquatic Sciences
Sponsored by ASLOโs Early Career Committee, the goal of this webinar series is to increase awareness and offer support through open conversations about the importance of self-care, and provide information on self-help tools and techniques that can be implemented in day-to-day life to improve and maintain positive health and well-being across all career stages in academia.
Webinar 1. Battling Imposter Syndrome
Led by Hugh Kearns, this session explores why high performing people often doubt their abilities and find it hard to enjoy their successes. It will also show the links to perfectionism and self-handicapping behaviors such as procrastination, avoidance, and overcommitment. Strategies for battling imposter syndrome are discussed. ย Access here (Members only)
Webinar 2. Navigating Uncertainty in Research
In this webinar led by Dr. Desiree Dickerson, we discuss navigating the uncertainties in research and how to manage it by giving yourself permission (to be where you are and feel what you feel!), making micro-changes to maintain a solid emotional and mental foundation, navigating uncertainty and worry, recognizing the controllable from the uncontrollable and learn where to spend your emotional and mental energy, and filling your bucket when life is constantly emptying it. The webinar recording is only available until October 4, and is restricted to ASLO members. Members, please log in, then click on the Member Workshops page to access the recorded webinar on Vimeo.
