Academic Woman Amplified

“$4,500 is too much to spend on professional development.” This is the sentiment we sometimes hear from our community members.     In this episode, I share with you a mindset shift that can help you see an investment in your professional development in a new light. If you want to do academia differently, if you want to disrupt the status quo, then receiving support and coaching is necessary. The pressure from institutions to do more and work harder is not sustainable for ongoing career growth, so how do you grow and develop as a scholar while maintaining your sanity and health? By investing in your professional development. Think of this investment not in relation to your salary, but in relation to your university’s budget. Compared to those budgets, $4,500 is a small investment that will drastically increase your total value and impact on the world. For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast/162.
