  1. Helping ourselves and each other to be more resourceful on our career path Isabelle Read and David Birch Ashridge Consulting

  2. Our aims • examine how we spend our time • identify what depletes/restores us • tackle a common issue • consider the practical implications • make a commitment to yourself • have some fun!

  3. But first • Form mixed groups of three • What did you take from Hywel’s session? • what provoked you? • what are you curious about?

  4. Our process • Step 1: individual thinking time • Step 2: identifying common themes (trios) • Step 3: working on the key issue (group of six) • Step 4: what ‘resourceful’ looks like • Step 5: learning log

  5. STEP 1: INDIVIDUAL THINKING TIME • Map your activities over a typical day. How do you spend your time during your waking hours? Choose your own categories (e.g. exercise, grant applications, research, commuting etc). • Draw your own personal pie chart using the template in your packs

  6. A sample day in the life

  7. A Sample Day in the Life…

  8. STEP 2: IDENTIFYING COMMON THEMES • In your trio discuss the following questions: • how do I spend my time? • which activities restore my energy (work and non-work)? • which activities deplete my energy (work and non-work)? • what is missing in my day? • what are the similarities and differences between us? • what does this say about us? When you are ready, join your neighbouring trio for Step 3

  9. STEP 3: WORKING ON THE KEY ISSUE • In your group of six, identify the key issue that is depleting your resources and that you would like to address as a group. • When you have settled on a specific issue, discuss the following questions: • what specifically is the problem that you face? • what are the basic assumptions that underlie the problem? • how do you unintentionally keep the problem the way it is? • what are some of the reasons for this? • what are some of the possible solutions? • what needs to change in your thinking or behaviour?

  10. STEP 4: WHAT ‘RESOURCEFUL’ LOOKS LIKE   When you are ready, take one of the large sheets of paper and use the materials provided to draw a life-size picture of an NIHR trainee who is well-resourced to deal with your particular issue. • Minimal words • Use metaphor and imagery • Be creative and have fun! When you have finished, display your picture for all to see.

  11. STEP 5: LEARNING LOG • How can you become more resourceful in your career path? • What assumptions have been getting in the way until now? • What new ideas and perspectives will help you do things differently? • What are you going to do next? • Any other comments?
