Tips for personal development

1 November 2023

In recent weeks, we have looked at physical health, mental health, and social safety at work – all factors that can contribute to general good health and sustainable employability of employees.  are The opportunities offered by the university in the area of personal development can also be another contributing factor.

Would you like to feel stronger and more effective in how you perform at work? Prevent unhealthy stress or correct your work/life balance? Would you like to experience more job satisfaction or consider the next step in your career?

Coaching and career coaching
Check out the university webpage Coaching and career coaching, which gives information on individual coaching (e.g. personal effectiveness, preventing stress, vitality) and career coaching.  During a free intake session, your questions, goals and plan of action are discussed.

Good to know! PhD candidates and postdocs can also get free career coaching which consists of a combination of individual meetings and (online) training courses.

Career Platform
Prefer to arrange things yourself? Visit the Career Platform of Learning & Development. This gives access to questionnaires and tests that can improve self-knowledge. For example, about your talents, what motivates you, your skills and pitfalls, and what is important to you in life and your career. You can also find information and tips for career orientation, knowing your ideal organisation, job, or workday. Gain better insights in these aspects by, for example, creating a personal and employment market profile.
