Hi there Reader,
The vibes are bad.
Maybe you’re worried about your personal safety or the security of your personal information.
Maybe you’re anxious about your job, or your partner’s job.
Maybe you’re concerned about access to healthcare or the medications you need.
Maybe you’re stressed over climate change-related disasters: wildfires, floods, massive storms.
Maybe you’re fretting about the financial health of your employer or the rising price of everyday essentials.
There’s a lot to be worried about. And since you’re not a billionaire, your concerns are reasonable, rational, and relatable.
It’s all a lot. And that means you’re experiencing uncertainty.
Humans aren’t great with uncertainty.
And that’s exactly where IMPACT 2025 can help.
I admit it feels weird to be promoting a thing right now—the news is terrifying; I’m worried about all you US folks.
But if you’re a professor navigating uncertainties large or small, this event is designed for you.
Spend a half day with me, Jenny Mehmedovic, and Jennifer Askey (yes, all the Jen-folk academic coaches and consultants) and our host Carole Chabries.
We didn’t come up with this event over the weekend, but it turns out to be more necessary than we imagined, when we first imagined.
In just three hours on Tuesday, 11 Feb (next week!), you’ll be part of a clarifying, focusing, and action-inspiring interactive experience designed for professors.
You’ll leave knowing what’s important to you and what to do to better align your actions with the career—and life—you want to build.
Here’s what you need to know to join us a week from today:
- 3 hours (we know you’re busy)
- 3 focused, practical workshops (not boring presentations)
- Clear next steps for advancing your career (within or beyond academia)
- All for just US$49 (that’s it!)
And, yes, you’ll get the recordings for 6 months, so if Tuesday is already booked solid or something comes up, no worries
If you’re ready to press pause on chaos and gain some much-needed clarity you can immediately act on, join us.
Here’s to being in community with each other, sharing successes, and planning our next steps.
And, whether you register for IMPACT 2025 or not, I’d love to hear from you. How are you faring? What’s the situation chez vous?
Cheers,
Jen
P.S. Professors: Join me and three faculty development leaders for a brilliant half-day event for faculty members on Tuesday, 11 Feb, starting at 1pm EST. Get all the details and register for IMPACT 2025.
