Hi there Reader,
When we planned IMPACT 2025, we knew we’d be in a rough moment. But I didn’t anticipate just how overwhelming things would be right now.
And I’m a Canadian in Canada, so I’m definitely removed from the centre of the awful.
I do know that it’s a scary time for a lot of faculty members (reasonable). And it’s leaving a lot of us feeling powerless.
But as humans, we know that taking action can be the antidote to anxiety. I’m talking about doing meaningful things, especially in community with other like-minded people.
That’s what IMPACT 2025 is all about. Refocusing on what truly matters—your goals, your values, and your impact—and then taking action in alignment with your renewed clarity about what’s important to you, now.
This is a half-day, interactive event designed for professors. Here’s what’s happening:
📅 Jenny Mehmedovic will teach you how to design your time around your values—no more squeezing in everything. You’ll learn a radically different approach to managing your schedule.
🤔 I’ll show you how to rethink your professional experience so you can tell your story—beyond what’s on your CV. In my workshop, you’ll identify key moments of professional impact and clarify a focus that aligns with your priorities and career goals.
🏘️ Jennifer Askey will guide you in assessing your support system and help you build the community you need, so you’re no longer struggling alone. (Plus, be the person other people you care about need right now too!)
Let’s call is #JENPACT2025 😂
We kick things off Tuesday, Feb 11 at 1pm EST. Tickets are just US$49, and you’ll get access to the recordings for 6 months.
But you need to act fast—registration closes today at 6pm EST.

This is your opportunity to press pause on the chaos, take a breath, and reset your focus.
We’d love to have you with us.
Cheers,
Jen
P.S. Can’t attend live? You’ll still get the recordings and workshop materials for 6 months—perfect for when you have time to sit down with your favourite snacks and focus on you. Grab your ticket before registration closes!
