Seasons of Faculty Life: Coaching Groups

Format: Blended
Time: 5 hrs with coach, 1-2 hrs on own
Timing: See full description
*Self-Assessment(s) Included*

Support and resources for small groups of 3-8 faculty in each of the four primary stages of a tenure-track career and one related experience:

Early-Career: achieving tenure, decoding academic culture and faculty governance

Mid-Career: integrating tenure, increasing scholarly impact amidst increasing service and leadership

Later-Career: navigating scholarly, disciplinary, departmental, and institutional aspirations and influence

What Now?: considerations related to retirement and other transitions after decades spent as an academic

Academic Solstice: for faculty at any stage considering an exit from academia

~~~ Also available ~~~

Academic Equinox: For grad students/postdocs weighing the pros and cons of a career in academia (discounted price, minimum enrollment of 10)

Discussions address the definitions, possibilities, benefits, and challenges of a given career stage and academia writ large; translation of academic culture and expectations; strategies for addressing realities and politics of academic departments and institutions; and resources for personal goal setting and work-life balance. Reflection tools support situational understanding and promote agency, clarity, and choice.
Kardia Group coaches bring substantial knowledge, experience, and passion to our work. We have studied, and continue to study, higher education as an organization, as a cultural entity, and as an environment for individuals. We have substantial experience with higher education, as insiders and/or as outsiders. We bring a commitment to understanding the impact of structures, roles, and identities on individuals, including matters such as climate-related issues, microaggressions, and academic and departmental cultures. We support the improvement of higher ed in part through individual faculty growth, success, and resilience.
