Host Business Researcher and Academic Administrator Free Business Research Consulting with Academic Scholars This is an attempt to bring together academic scholars and industry professionals in a mutually rewarding relationship. During the live meetings, industry professionals could present their business problems and the academic scholars could propose to help find solutions to those problems. The industry professionals may have to provide the academic scholars access to the data needed to arrive at conclusions. The primary benefit of the academic scholars from this partnership is the opportunity to write research papers and case studies based on their investigation. Permission for this is often expected; due anonymization of the business profile and co-authorship with the industry professionals could be negotiated. Likewise, the academic scholars might want to involve their students at various stages in the consulting process: this is an opportunity for the students to do their internships, too. Kindly understand that, due to the open nature of the meetings, we may not be able to protect any sensitive information shared there. Thus, it is recommended that anything that has a privacy / security / confidentiality aspect be shared only privately with those academic scholars with whom you have a specific contractual relationship.

Host Professional Counselor Imposter Syndrome & the PhD: Don't Believe Everything You Think Impostors, by definition, hide their identity. In the context of a PhD, this means hiding any insecurity or weakness in knowledge; avoiding asking the ‘stupid question’, avoiding mistakes, avoiding risk, and avoiding difficulty. It is a state motivated by fear, by the avoidance of a negative outcome, but it actually makes the negative outcome more likely. Sometimes it's worth embracing the very thing you fear the most. Rather than avoiding being found out, why not be open about what you don't know? Max occupancy: 6 Send me a reminder before this room next opens |

Host Introvert & Alignment Coach The ‘Quietly Determined’ in the workplace I am naturally a more introverted individual, so when I worked in a fast-paced London city firm for over 10years, my introversion took a battering and eventually I reached burnout.

My Room is therefore aimed more towards introverted individuals who may have concerns around how to manage their needs, or be at their best, in a working world where extroversion seems to prevail! Session 1 – Discussion around potential challenges you could face in the workplace as a more introverted individual and/or from an academic background. Understanding where on the introverted spectrum you are. Discussing your ideal vision of what thriving in the workplace looks like/means to you.
