Strategic Researcher and Turbo-charge Your Publications Workshops

We are delighted to have Dr Maria Gardiner (Thinkwell) present the highly sought after Strategic Researcher sessions and Turbocharge your Publications workshops at the Hudson Institute.
Dr Maria Gardiner BA (Hons) MPsych (Clinical) PhD is a leading coach, psychologist and researcher. She has worked with many of Australia's academic and medical leaders over the last fifteen years. She particularly specialises in the psychology of high performance and works with leading research groups at universities around Australia.

The Strategic Researcher workshop Fri 28 Oct or Mon 14 Nov  (Staff only – 35 max) will look at:
  • managing your time in a busy research environment
  • publishing strategically
  • using the team (or others) to increase publication productivity
  • keeping track of publications to increase motivation and accountability
  • managing your publication “resources” for maximum output
  • attributes of a successful (and highly productive) research leader/team
3rd session Turbocharge Your Publications Mon 14 Nov (Staff & PhD Students – unlimited no’s)
This workshop will help you to understand:
  • why it can be hard to get started
  • how we deliberately use distractions to slow down writing
  • the principles of quick starting
  • why snack writing is generally more productive than binge writing
  • how to deal with the internal committee that slows down writing
  • how to set achievable goals by writing in a silo
  • how to double (or more) the number of actual words you produce
  • how to clarify your thinking and improve the quality of your work

Associate Professor Ashley Mansell, Research Group Head in the Centre for Innate Immunity and Infectious Diseases, says of a previous year's session:

"Overall it was one of the most informative and useful training courses I've ever done. I'd highly recommend it to everyone at any stage of their career as the skills and basis of the course can be implemented in all situations and career steps.
I found the meeting provided excellent advice on how to organise your writing to optimise the role of all those involved to keep control of a group writing effort and maintain momentum through the process. It also provided a simple framework for utilising my time by providing advice that was simple but effective."
