it and actually putting things into practice that will get us there are sometimes WORLDS apart.

Insight
Accountability
Reflection

This is the work.

the implications are profound.

If I want to feel a certain way, it requires discipline to commit to the practices that help me feel that way.

If my clients want a certain work environment, it requires uncomfortable conversations to begin to make shifts.

Knowing what we need to do -- or sensing

Over the last week I have spoken with pre-tenure faculty at universities, vice presidents, and people in between.
One common denominator in the A-has my clients and I experienced:
discomfort is the gateway to getting what you want and need.
This is a pretty simple realization, but, for me,

a gray hairless gremlin squints at the camera with the look of a bad motherhecker. she’s scowling, but wearing a pink fleece jumper with cherries printed all over. the cognitive dissonance is strong. upon further inspection, this may just be a hairless chihuahua, but you can’t blame us for the misunderstanding.

We only rate dogs. This is Samuel L. Jackson in a cute sweater and a bad mood. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10

I am here, with Sadie.

It's solstice weekend -- So. Much. Light.
Spending today mapping out my work for the next three months.
I like to think I can keep all of this in my head but I've learned I need a written plan that can focus me and that can flex when needed.

Thank you to @jenvanalstyne.bsky.social @carolechabries.bsky.social @fromphdtolife.com and @llmunro.bsky.social for offering on the spot feedback!

I am excited about having more than one way to talk to university leaders about the workshops, facilitation, coaching, and speaking I do around resilience and wellbeing in #highered.

As a small business, it's important for me to have a LinkedIn page that showcases my work AND gives people a sense of what it is like to work with me.
Today I created and did a bit of work on my business page, which now exists in addition to my personal page.

I assume this all happened on Ono's watch? And yet he was to "woke" for Florida.

For my #AcademicSky folks:
can you think of a time when a major disappointment turned into the first step on an even better path?

I feel like this happens all the time in my own life but I'm super curious if other people see this happening for them, too.

absolutely superb

those are tiny dogs. wee little things. precious smol fuzzies.

The trials and tribulations of #WFH

Are you looking to polish your professional presence and findability in these "uncertain times?"
If so, having an excellent webpage is one way to do that.

If your website doesn't bring you joy, talk to Jennifer about how to present yourself and your work in the most compelling and findable way.

"One of the underrated resources you have, that you can draw on in your career during times both good and bad, is your network. Agree or disagree?"

hot damn! about time.

Sitting with, & getting to the other side of, discomfort is your secret key to:
writing more consistently
dealing with revisions & rejections
more visibility
and so much more.

You don't have to love discomfort. But if you are prepared for it & know what to do when it hits -- magic.

As we enter the end-of-year period of reflection, it's time to remember that it is not the responsibility of your job or your marriage or your kids to make you happy.
Those relationships are the containers for you to learn how to grow personally and spiritually.

what you said

If you are an academic leader and haven't been taking the time to pay attention to your emotional regulation, it is not too late to start!
Mindfulness and meditation are free, simple (not always easy!) and research-backed methods for boosting your emotional agility.
