In this session we'll explore evidence-based tools for developing a success mindset in your conservation practice, building confidence in areas where you haven't always felt your best.

This practical workshop explores a range of evidence-based tools for developing a success mindset, building confidence in areas where you haven't always felt your best as a conservation professional. 

Working as a conservator involves drawing on broad range of skills to meet all types of demands. From confidence in project management, to sensitivity around client communications, not everyone is perfect in all areas of their work!

This workshop will include evidence for and against different technique for success, and an opportunity for experiential learning and reflective practice. You'll also get a chance to discuss common blockers with your conservation peers, troubleshoot, and learn how to integrate evidence-based tools into your day-to-day work practice.

  • What is a success mindset?
