As independent researchers, we wear many hats in addition to researcher! Often we are also project lead, strategist, salesperson, finance director, marketing manager and more. And while technical skills matter, what really sustains success is how we manage pressure, bounce back from setbacks, and stay clear-headed when things get tough.
That’s where Upskill, the second stage of our B.U.I.L.D.® framework, comes in. Because when self-doubt creeps in, collaboration stalls, or you find yourself hesitating to take bold action, it’s rarely a skills gap, it’s a mindset gap.
Using tools from the Positive Intelligence (PQ) system, we help you build the resilience, emotional agility and self-command needed to lead yourself and your business with more confidence and ease.
You learn to spot your saboteurs (like perfectionism, overworking or avoidance) and build new habits that enable clearer decisions, stronger boundaries & greater creativity.
Whether you’re aiming to grow, pivot or simply enjoy your work more, strengthening your mental fitness is an investment that pays off.
Want to hear what some of our recent clients who have just completed the Upskill step have told us?
“All the changes in the industry were overwhelming, I was feeling lost and unsure of myself… and now I’m actually feeling quite excited and happy. It’s been a big transformation and that’s down to our work together.”
“It has been the best investment I have ever made in myself, far better than any technical courses. I’m feeling so much more confident to take the leap and put myself out there more, in order to grow my business”
“Each week, I really looked forward to our sessions… I loved doing all of the PQ sessions and all the rest of it, but I really valued our time together. You’ve made such a difference.”
