I see you. And I understand the need for spaces where you can show up just as you are.

Focus Fridays is that space. As in the general WellAcademic community, the majority of Focus Friday participants are women of color.

Also, I'm a woman of color (Black, Asian, & White) whose work centers positionality, power, and privilege, which is evident in my coaching and scholarship.

Focus Fridays are most applicable to faculty and post-docs. That said, others who think they would benefit from the program are welcome.

Most complete scholarly writing projects (e.g., book proposals, grants, chapters, articles).

Others use the time to complete important professional tasks, such as preparing a P&T portfolio.

Absolutely! I know it's counterintuitive, but intense focus for short bursts with breaks in between - how Focus Fridays are set up - results in greater progress than long periods of distracted work.

Focus Fridays also has other factors shown to improve motivation and performance such as accountability, coaching, a fun atmosphere, and social support.

As a bonus, completing tasks you've had difficulty facing will raise your confidence and reduce any shame or guilt you've been carrying. 

I hear you. I'm a closet introvert, so I would never set something up that's awkward for folx like you and me.

That's why the check-ins are short, about 5 minutes, with just 3-4 participants. I also provide EXACTLY what you need to share.

This means there's no time to get nervous and no one is searching for conversation fillers. Phew!

No. What makes Focus Fridays special is that it's live. You can't replicate the real-time accountability and support in a recording. 

Yes. Faculty from all ranks participate in Focus Fridays. In fact, 46% of our last cohort were Associate Professors.

Nope. I get that you're really busy. That's why most of the work happens in our sessions. You'll need just 10 minutes for the prep and reflection exercises. That's it.

Both Focus Fridays and SUBMIT use the same science-backed session structure. That said, SUBMIT is a 2-week writing sprint in the Summer, while Focus Fridays is a 10-week program in the fall and spring semesters - because who has time for a 2-week sprint then.

With Focus Fridays, the goal is to create a sustainable, healthy writing routine using strategies that work even if (when?) your semester goes off the rails.

Access is important to me, which is why I offer a limited number of grants to WellAcademic community members who would benefit from the program but need help covering the cost.

These grants are on a first-come, first-served basis. Because I'm only able to offer a few and don't ask for proof of need, please don't seek a grant if you have the means to pay for the program without this assistance.
