                    PhD Candidate Marco Niestroj

                    I participated in the course “The PhD Success System” and think it is a very helpful course that should be mandatory for every PhD candidate to learn about the biggest obstacles and how to solve them. Additionally, the tools that were taught by Elanto Science will not only help me with my scientific career but also with my personal development. Thank you!

                    I am a rather restless person struggling to distance myself from work and other things. This course provides techniques and methods to help with this. Also, I was provided with a very easy technique for meditation, which helps me in stressful situations.

                    The course helped me to reflect on my daily life routines as well as my reactions to my PhD life situations and events. Not only provided me with tips but also I was able to start building a healthy relationship with my work.

                    I think it was really cool and helpful as I find myself having negative thoughts all the time. I am looking forward to incorporating these exercises into my routine and helping me manage stress

                    I really liked the experience. It was very useful because I'm struggling with imposter syndrome. Along with the therapy I'm doing personally, this experience gave the specific insight into my career

                    The course was really helpful because I find myself in a difficult position now that I've just started my PhD. It was easy to follow and the speaker was absolutely amazing
