Personal Development Programme Pilot May 2023
Women of Warwick – is your confidence in need of a boost? Do you want to overcome self-doubt and build your resilience? Would you like to be part of creating something new at Warwick? And earn core skills points towards the Warwick Award at the same time?
We are seeking engaged students who would like to both develop themselves, and the future of women's personal development programmes here at Warwick - students who can proudly say ‘I co-created’ this!
Come and be part of an exciting Pilot where we are trialling new content at 12 different workshops in May 2023. The workshops will take place in Oculus – free of charge - between Tuesday 16th May and Thursday 25th May. Workshops will last around 1.5-2 hours and you can attend as many as you would like to.
Pilot Workshops May 2023
Attending the Pilot workshops gives you an opportunity to:
- Build your confidence and develop your assertiveness
- Recognise your own strengths and values important to you
- Increase your self-awareness through exploring concepts such as Ikigai
- Develop strategies to deal with imposter phenomenon
- Increase your resilience and recognise your own personal power
- Strengthen your visibility and reputation to enhance your future career
- Make connections with like-minded students and start to build a community of support
You will also need to commit to a student consultation session to share your thoughts and ideas following the workshops. We want to know, what would you like to see in a women’s personal development programme at Warwick?
Applications
- The Pilot is open to women students at The University of Warwick, both undergraduate and postgraduate. Students must identify as a woman or non-binary person comfortable in a female centred community
- Students will have the opportunity to sign up for a free 1-1 informal meeting with Sarah Bennett, Skills Development (on Wednesday 10th May, via Teams) prior to attending the workshops, to ask any questions and to ensure the programme will support their needs.
