Academic Woman Amplified

You deserve to have the best career possible. If you are struggling with writing and a clogged pipeline, don’t wait for it to get better.  In today’s episode, I discuss why academics don’t get professional development or writing help because they wait for circumstances to change. When you say, “I’ll wait until it gets better,” you are really saying, “I’ll wait until it gets worse.” The “it” is stress, overwork, and obligations.  It isn’t your circumstances that are the problem; it’s your approach to those circumstances. Getting tenure or lessening your teaching load will not change your decision-making process. You have the power now to shift from being reactive to being proactive in your career. Saying, “I’ll wait until it gets better,” is a passive way to approach your career. You spend most of your time at work, so let’s make work 90% awesome. Tune in and get inspired to take action to improve your career experience right now.   For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast/231.   CONTINUE THE CONVER
