Be Helpful
What can you offer your friends and colleagues when they are getting ready for their vivas?
When you’ve had your viva, who will you share your experience with and how will you try to help them?
If you’ve not already had your viva then keep a little record as you get ready of what you do and how it helps. This will help you to figure out positive actions that you might recommend.
A good starting point for helping others could be to think of the help that you got. An even better starting point might be to consider the help that you feel you really needed.
PS: and another good starting point might be to tell someone to subscribe to the Viva Survivors daily blog if they don’t already do that!
