An unled team sends its bill to you. Exit interviews, sick leave, a doctorate abandoned in year three. The cause sits in the lab. The cost sits in your budget.
Your top researchers lead people. Many of them taught themselves, on the job.
A facilitated workshop changes that. Work on the challenge, or work on the people.
Certificates prove attendance. Outcomes create change.
You bring the challenge and the people. I bring the process, the tools, and the deliverables.
One Organization. Your people, your challenge.
You leave with a decision your team owns.
For institutes, faculties, directorates, administration, graduate schools.
One academy. Leaders from different institutions, one theme.
Participants leave with a plan for themselves or their own group.
For training centres, graduate schools, funder programmes.
You bring a topic. Your people leave with a decision.
Strategy workshop, problem-solving workshop, planning session, retrospective.
You bring a group. They leave with capability.
Leadership team workshop, team retreat, leadership training.
I craft tailor-made workshops or trainings for my clients. Whether you want to tackle a single topic or establish skills over a series of interactions. I know the research world you live in by heart.
“The workshop was a great chance to reflect. It made it clear to me that my motivation comes from the science. I need to arrange the management tasks around this focus to stay motivated. My task for the future is to take care of that.”
“Petra showed a remarkable ability to cut straight to the point. I found Petra’s approach structured, empathetic, supportive, and intellectually challenging. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Petra guided me through a comprehensive analysis of my issue. We worked out a concrete action plan, which I realised afterwards with full energy.”
“With Petra we tackled individual challenges intensively – using spontaneous, flexible exercises. The workshop was fun, exhausting and highly recommendable. Do not change anything.“
“The consultation gave us important insights and helped us start a meaningful discussion about our next steps.”
“The small group, Petra’s specific understanding of our needs, and the open atmosphere were fantastic. I left the workshop with new ideas and practical tools.”
“Petra created a clear vision for communicating fusion across Europe and worked with over 30 partners to make it reality.”
Our approach blends proven methods with tailored guidance, making it practical, flexible and directly applicable to your work.
The timing fits your packed schedules. That way, the participants enjoy the creative atmosphere and focus on the tasks at hand.
Pre-interviews and surveys ensure you and I are crystal-clear on what you and your researchers need.
Yes, budgets are tight. On the other hand, a poorly led, hence unproductive team of highly educated researchers is a luxury you possibly can’t afford.
They brought the challenge and the people. I brought the process, the tools, and the deliverables.
Leadership: “Hands free for research“, for Professors who navigate multiple roles in academia.
They left with clear next steps to preserve what is most precious to them: research time.
Communication skills: for Postdocs and Junior Group Leaders who want to grow their courage to speak up in scientific exchanges and present their research in public.
They left standing their ground confidently and convincingly.
Team building: for Teams in research and in research administration.
They left with a common purpose and well aligned goals.
You bring a group. They leave with capability.
Leadership team workshop, team retreat, leadership training.
Scientific education builds brilliant researchers. It rarely builds leaders. The cost lands on your desk:
stalled projects, drained teams, top researchers leaving.
Investing in growth signals care.
And people stay where they grow.
