Dear Reader,
This is for you if you’ve been thinking about leaving academia, but haven’t yet decided for good one way or another.
I tend to address my work at folks who are ready to get a job elsewhere.
But this summer, I wanted to do something helpful for folks who aren’t in full job-search mode but could still use some support as they navigate career (and life) decisions.
It’s been such a trying time, eh? Ugh.
So, if you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure about staying on the academic career path, this is for you.
I’m hosting a free, live reflection workshop on Wednesday, July 30 at 12pm ET.
It’s designed especially for professors, postdocs, and other PhDs who are thinking about leaving academia but haven’t decided yet.
The workshop is called “Is It Time to Leave Academia?” and it’s not a webinar or coaching session; instead, it’s a thoughtful hour to reflect, write, and be in community with others who get it.
You’ll leave with a little more clarity—and maybe a little more confidence—that whatever you’re feeling is valid, and you have options.
No slides. No sales pitch. Just space to reflect and process.
👉 Register for “Is It Time to Leave Academia,” a free live workshop for professors, postdocs, and other PhDs thinking about moving on.
Note: This is a live-only event (no recording), so please only register if you plan to join us on Zoom in two weeks.
Cheers,
Jen
