Today, I'll be going LIVE with my friend and fellow PhD sister, Dr. Cherise Bernard as she ! We’re taking over Instagram page later tonight. We'll be discussing the journey for Black women in academia and the art of the professional pivot. You don't want to miss it!

If you’re struggling to find your way in grad school or your postdoc program, this is the tool for you. ⁣

Like Priscilla, I was a first generation PhD student. I managed to win over $100k in fellowships, publish articles, and present at conferences while making space for a new hobby: painting on canvas. I wasn’t special. I had great mentorship, friends and family who believed in me, and a system for getting the hard stuff done. ⁣
⁣
I want you to succeed too. ⁣
⁣
That’s why I’m hosting a semester planning workshop. Join me next week for “How to Stay on Track, Meet Your Deadlines, and Have a Life while in the Academy.”⁣
⁣
I’ll share strategies from the Professional Pathways Planner. I will show you how to:⁣
1. Determine your vision for the year that will guide your decision-making and priority management when the semester gets hectic. ⁣
2. Identify your Top Three Priorities for the semester. ⁣
3. Create Action Plans for your top goals and track milestones, collaborators, reviewers, and time on task until your project is complete.⁣
4. Take back your week and enjoy your Mondays, by learning and using a weekly planning method that takes 60 minutes or less each week. ⁣
⁣
And I’m giving away my Weekly Planning Toolkit to everyone who registers. Join me and about 100 others who’ve already RSVP’d. Click link now to register.

Just hanging out in my Mom’s sewing studio, cutting patterns. She is my first example of entrepreneurship and creativity. She taught me how to sew, sketch and paint. It’s a great balance to the reading, writing and other left brain work I do everyday. How do you bring balance to your weekly activities?
