TRAIN RESEARCH LEADERS IN ONE SEMESTER
Beyond conducting research and publishing in academic journals, there are a number of skills essential to research career success. Unfortunately, they are rarely taught in graduate programs, leading to unnecessary stress and frustration.
Did your PhD program cover these topics?
- GRANTS - How to get funders excited about your work
- OUTREACH - How to partner with nonprofits, public agencies, and private companies
- BOUNDARIES - Which commitments you can turn down so you don't burn out
- TECHNOLOGY - How to use software and AI to streamline your work process
- TIME - When to get important writing done in a day packed with meetings
Imagine if your faculty was soaring in all of these areas.
The "Secret Seminar" provides this missing preparatory piece, based on 20 years helping faculty surge forward in their research careers. By taking the guesswork out of key areas like grant writing, time management, technology, and team building, I've helped researchers access more than $30 million in funding, publish internationally award-winning books, and successfully launch major multi-national initiatives.
This one-semester series not only demystifies these skills but also guides groups of 5-15 faculty members to apply them in real time. The result is a transformation in both productivity and wellbeing. Read more about the course and what faculty participants are saying.
