UNIque
Here’s how to know if it’s right for you:
- You want to grow, but feel stuck.
You’ve got experience, ambition and ideas — but something’s holding you back. It might be confidence, clarity, or just too many options (or too few). - You’re tired of waiting for permission.
You want to lead, speak up, or change direction — and you’re ready to stop waiting for someone else to tap you on the shoulder. - You’re questioning your next step.
Fellowship? Industry? Staying in academia? Promotion? You’d love space to reflect and plan with support. - You want to feel like yourself again.
Somewhere along the way, you’ve felt flattened, quieted, or small. You’re ready to reconnect with your strengths, values and voice. - You want to be in a room with women who get it. You’d love a supportive space to talk honestly about work, life, ambition and confidence – without judgement.

Attending UNIque made me reassess my career trajectory and identify areas that I need to prioritise. It gave me confidence to see that I can make changes to enable me to be in charge of my own future and not just fall into jobs as I have done since finishing my PhD.— Former participant of UNIque, 2021
Confidence building in the walk-through exercises e.g. talking about our work without feeling ashamed or uncomfortable, drilling out some of those bad, probably gender-based (or in my case, I believe personality-driven) tendencies to be much more comfortable underselling oneself! It's not a bad trait but at some point, we discover that academia demands more self PR!!— Former participant of UNIque, 2023
