Viva Survivors Select 04, The Focus Issue is ready and I'm very excited to release it into the world!
As with the first three issues, The Focus Issue is made up of twenty posts from the Viva Survivors archive and two new original pieces of viva help.
In this issue I wanted to explore the power of creating summaries as part of viva prep. I've loved sharing this topic in webinars and workshops for years. There's a real value to thinking ahead for the viva, drawing useful information together and building confidence from really appreciating what you've done, how you did it and why it matters.
The Focus Issue is twenty posts from the Viva Survivors archive and two new original pieces: the first digs into the power of key questions for creating summaries and the second is an original prompt-based reflection game for reflecting on the PhD journey.
Viva Survivors Select 04 is out now for £3 and joins the first three issues in this ongoing project of monthly viva help. If you like the blog, want more help and want to support what I do then please take a look at and consider buying The Focus Issue.
Please do pass on details of this issue and Viva Survivors Select to anyone you know who is looking for viva help.
Thanks for reading!
