Academic Writing Amplified

What is that next level thing that's down the road that you're not getting to by staying in old habits that are leading to burnout or old habits that aren't serving you? Episode 154 is a presentation I made at our annual New Year’s Writing Retreat in early January 2023. In this discussion, you're going to hear me very explicitly talk about our company mission, our company values, and how we made program changes aligned with those values. I think you'll find a lot of value in listening to this presentation as a leader and creator inside of academia as you think about your values and how you want to align them with the decisions that you make and the things that you create.   Join our Pilot Navigate Program: We are going to offer Navigate as a 12-week program to test out some changes we are considering making. It will run from February 2023- Mid-May 2023. In addition to our core Navigate curriculum, which we are reorganizing, reordering, and revising for this pilot version, what we're looking for is 10 to 20 academics who want to do this new pilot version of Navigate.  There will be more details to come on this in the coming weeks, so make sure you’re on our email list to get all the details first!   Info sheet for Navigate: Your Writing Roadmap Apply for Navigate program here   For full show notes, visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast/154.  Continue the conversation: Our 12-week Navigate: Your Writing Roadmap® program helps tenure-track womxn and nonbinary professors with a disruptive perspective on their field to publish their backlog of papers so that their voice can have the impact they know is possible.

We have been raised inside of our academic institutions with models that only include success through overwork or success through burnout. Inside of this culture that glorifies busyness, it's easy to understand why we don't really believe that we can have a sustainable academic career. Personally, I am not willing to do the amount of glorification of busyness that it takes to be an academic, and decided I just wouldn't do it that way. We talk about the best way to design a sustainable career that suits your needs inside of our Navigate Program, and we’re hosting a pilot version of it starting in February! Check out all the details below.   Join our Pilot Navigate Program: We are going to offer Navigate as a 12-week program to test out some changes we are considering making.

Do you still have questions on exactly what the turning point was and what the transition from Cathy Mazak LLC to Scholar’s Voice was like? We’ll walk you through all the details of when the tides started to turn, and why now finally felt like the right time to make it all official! In episode 153, Cathy and Gina discuss the starting point of their working relationship and how everything since that point has been working toward where Scholar’s Voice is currently at. They share everything from how the company grew, and how they knew they needed a bigger team, to how they knew they needed to evolve as a company and what that process of growth has looked like as a team. In this conversation, they explain their new desire for a simplified and more impactful version of their programs and how the Navigate Pilot was born! For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org.

Have you tried several things in order to get the spaciousness you desire in your career? You might be trying to make sure you have the publication results that you know you need in order to keep hitting your goals and to keep making your impact on your field and in the world. People try a lot of things in order to hit these goals, but in order to design a career that you love and serves you best, you need to get clear on what exactly that career looks like for you. In this bonus episode, I share a technique that you can use to start to shift away from the cultural norms inside of academia and do something counterintuitive. The technique asks you to think of three adjectives you would use to describe your career if you could have it your way. Choosing 3 adjectives to describe your career is a great first step in designing a career you love and that has longevity. Using those 3 adjectives, ask yourself what that kind of professor would do.

Have you set a goal for yourself concerning your publications this year? Maybe you want to publish more, clear out some old papers, or produce new ideas this year. Some of you might be using a tactic for figuring out what publications you want to work on this year that actually causes you to publish fewer things. So in this bonus episode, I talk about how to clear your pipeline in 2023. The tactic that you really need to use is actually the opposite of what you might have been doing.

In this bonus episode, we’ll dive into something that might seem the opposite of what you've been believing all of this time: your publishing problem is not time. If you're a professor and you have a disruptive perspective on your field, and you have a big backlog of papers, and you just haven't been able to sit down and sort through it all to knock them out, your gut reaction might be to think you just don’t have enough time. We think that if we just had enough time, we might be publishing at the level we really desire in order to be able to move forward in our careers in a plethora of ways.

Have you ever felt like you missed out on some key piece of the writing process? Like everyone around you somehow learned something that you just totally missed?  Everything you learned is wrong… And it’s not your fault.  It's the fault of how we are socialized inside of academia, how we learn from example, in situations that aren't the most ideal for learning how to write. In Episode 152 I'm digging into 5 things that you learned about academic writing that are wrong, and what you can do to fix them. You’ll hear about how you can adjust your methodology, insecurities, schedule, alignment, and more. Cathy shares examples from her own career along with insight she shares with her students in Scholar’s Voice to offer wisdom to academics in all stages on how to best approach their writing as they juggle professorial duties as well.  Join our Pilot Navigate Program: We are going to offer Navigate as a 12-week program to test out some changes we are considering making.
