This will be an interactive, videos on, get ready to share and work in virtual teams webinar. The activities will enable researchers, especially research students, to build knowledge, skills and a capacity to form, maintain and protect healthy and functioning collaborations. Focus will be on connecting to strengths, what these are, and how they can be fostered. We’ll work through practical activities to support you to be your best, to foster others to be their best, and to address any little hiccups that can come our way.
Learning Outcomes for participants:
- Identify and articulate individual strengths.
- Develop an understanding into how strengths contribute to effective collaboration and team dynamics in a doctoral research setting.
- Build practical skills in applying strengths to collaborative situations.
- Develop strategies to navigate challenges that may arise in collaborative efforts, addressing potential conflicts, communication breakdowns, or other obstacles.
