Nurture your strength, not your stress: guest masterclass with Linda Lazzaroni-Egan – Wednesday 14th 1pm

BCC members exclusive event

Join Linda for a nurturing session designed to support your wellbeing through challenging times at work. Whether you’re navigating moments of pressure, workplace tension, or feeling drained, Linda will help you shift from stress to self-care. “Nurture Your Strength, Not the Stress.” In those difficult moments, it’s easy to absorb negativity or let your self-esteem drift, but Linda will offer gentle ways to protect your sense of self and stay grounded. This session includes reflective journaling prompts to help you build a personal wellbeing practice that supports you through tough times. Together, we’ll explore how to care for yourself when it matters most—so you can meet challenges with calm and confidence.

Supervising with mental health in mind – Friday 23rd 11am

£25 or free for BCC members

In this two-hour session you will be guided to think about your own academic experience and how this might impact on your supervision style and expectations.  You will then be introduced to a communication model that can reduce the likelihood of candidates attaching unreasonable expectations to their relationship with you.  In part two you will learn the basics of how our nervous system operates, including appreciating the subtleties of anxiety and burnout.  We’ll explore ways to support struggling students without taking on an excessive load or responsibility as their supervisor.  The workshop is interactive and includes opportunities to ask questions and reflect on current challenges.

This workshop is appropriate for anyone involved in PhD supervision, leading a research team, and those with pastoral care responsibilities. Booking includes the live workshop and lifetime access to the recording.

Finitude, endings, & letting go of your writing – Wednesday 18th 1pm

£12.50 / included in BCC membership

This interactive writing workshop will focus on Oliver Burkeman’s concept of ‘finitude’ to explore why endings and letting go are so hard in the writing process.  We’ll spend some time reflecting on our personal challenges with bringing writing to an end point and letting go of it, and use IFS Parts Work to get in touch with the parts of ourselves that are blocking our progress.  We’ll then move on to play more creatively with the concept of finitude through some creative practice, looking at the Zen reality that endings are inevitable, and how to celebrate this in our writing.
