Dear Reader,
If you’ve been thinking about leaving academia—but haven’t decided for sure—this is for you.
Wednesday at 12pm EDT, I’m hosting a free, live reflection workshop for professors, postdocs, and other PhDs who are in that “maybe” space.
The session is called: “Is It Time to Leave Academia?”
It’s not a webinar. It’s not coaching. There are no slides, no breakout rooms, and no recording.
This will be a session to pause, reflect, and write, with a few prompts from me and the chance to learn what others are thinking too. You can type anonymously into a shared Google Doc, or not share at all. Totally up to you.
Note: If you’re primarily looking for job search strategies, suggestions about relevant roles, or advice on who’s hiring, this probably isn’t the right session for you.
But if you need space to think things through…
If you want a moment of calm, community, and clarity…
If you’re asking hard questions about what comes next…
I’d love for you to join us!
🕛 Wednesday, July 30 at 12pm EDT
📍 Live on Zoom (no recording)
⏳ 60 minutes
👥 Interactive (writing + reflection in community)
Nearly 150 people have signed up so far. If you plan to attend, please arrive on time; my Zoom room can accommodate 100 participants.
And if this isn’t for you, feel free to pass it along to someone who might need it.
Hope to see you there,
Jen
