"I realized I was working free-style! Now I have tools."
"It is a training that goes beyond management, it is about management in the broadest sense."
"When I was a doctoral student, my supervisor was excellent; now I know why."

 

As shown by these testimonies, managing people is a skill that is enriched by your own experience and the experience of others, and based on solid fundamentals. If you are interested in consolidating the principles and practices turning your management activity into something meaningful, be part of the next training session.

Testimonials from participants

"I will spend more time on recruitment.
The tools you gave us are very complementary to what I was doing.”

 
"From now on, I will be more attentive to the weak signals from my doctoral candidates.”
 
"I have a lot of answers to my questions
and answers to the ones I haven’t asked myself until now.”
"It was very positive, I learned a lot! I
 have another vision of situations, it helps to take some distance from them.”

In fact, you have to do management"
