Usually, scientists don’t do their research for the money, but because they are passionately curious and feel the drive to explore. This drive can often be sabotaged by the clutter of daily work life: doing paperwork, waiting for equipment/permission/time slots/other people or getting assignments which are not related to your project at all.
The assumption for this workshop is that you, generally speaking, like what you do. Therefore, the goal of this workshop is to identify ways and strategies that allow you to spend most of your time on doing what you like – and reduce the time you spend on doing ‘the rest’. We will focus on sustainable solutions, so ‘quick wins’ that get you what you want, but result in your colleagues not talking to you anymore are off the table.
In the course of the workshop, we will focus on how to get back to the essentials:
- Prioritizing (Pareto and Eisenhower)
- Automating of processes
- Synergy in your group
- Delegating
- Upward leadership (how to lead your boss)
- Group culture and dynamic
- Skillful elimination of tasks
- Network building
- Stakeholder analysis
- Prioritizing at work
- Automating time-consuming processes
- Delegating properly to save time
- AI Tools for literature and research
- Efficient communication

Your personal toolkit: This “work"shop provides a toolset, which you can apply in your daily work life. The methods and approaches presented are only those that also the trainer uses, following the idea ‘from real life for real-life'. Not all the tools will fit all individual situations, but with multiple tools, the chances are good that one of them will work for you. Of course, situations only change if the topics covered in this training are applied in real life. Therefore, you will be asked to work on your situation and identify possibilities for action throughout the training.
Dr. Carsten Rohr studied physics in Munich and did his doctorate on molecular self-organization. He plays and teaches improvisational theatre. He is an experiential educator and an IHK-certified trainer. In his workshops, he exclusively focuses on scientists and engineers and likes to combine hard skills and soft skills training elements. His workshops include "presentation skills", "scientific writing" and "efficiency skills". Additionally, he is co-founder of a medtech start-up.
