Imagine this: you are at work, casually discussing your weekend plans with colleagues. One is planning a hike with her husband. Another jokes about meeting his girlfriend’s parents for dinner, nerves barely concealed. Then you mention a date night with your partner. The conversation halts. The atmosphere becomes taut. One of your colleagues makes a swift exit. Later that day, your boss calls you into their office. You’ve been reported for sexual harassment. Confused, you ask why.

Early Career Scientists (ECS) – defined as a student, a PhD candidate, or a practising scientist who received their highest certificate (e.g. BSc, MSc or PhD) within the past seven years – compose about half of EGU’s members. Many of the sessions and events throughout the Assembly are built with our ECS attendees in mind, from introducing you to the Assembly and the Union as a whole or the numerous ECS-orientated networking events and short courses.

It is the new year and new resolutions draw you onward. Yet motivation is fickle, and too often good intentions wither before bearing fruit. You may have drawn a plan to keep you in check, but how do you build on this to achieve sustainable growth? Sustainable growth has been a crucial throughout my career: from projects management and scientific research to building a charity, all required the ability to identify development pathways.

Developing a new skill. Building a routine. At the turn of the new year, the resolution to make such changes burns strong in many. Yet good intentions often recede under the draw of familiar habits and with the waning of motivation. It’s a common sight: gyms flourish with new members in January, only for their numbers to thin as the months progress.
