Best of Viva Survivors 2024: Confidence
Day three of my best of posts for 2024. I love to think about how to encourage confidence, both in general and for the viva in particular. It’s a topic I keep thinking about because of how powerful it can be in changing someone’s way of doing things.
- On The One Hand…: weighing up the candidate and examiner experience.
- Talking Comfortably: the value of rehearsal and the impact it has on confidence.
- How You Find Confidence: you have to search for it!
- Contribution To Confidence: explore your research contribution and you’ll find confidence.
- Doing To Feeling: at the end of the day, confidence follows our actions.
How confident do you feel for your viva? What steps do you take to pursue confidence?
