Significant Impact: from K Award to Your First Big R01

Embracing Discomfort in Your Academic Career


Listen Later

For women faculty, challenging norms and defying expectations are pretty much a necessity if you want to have a successful career on your own terms.  

One of the hardest parts about that—even though it gives you the most fulfillment in the long run—is learning to embrace the discomfort that comes with pushing back against “how we do things around here” and being willing to make decisions that defy your institution’s expectations.

Listen in to this episode so you can be reminded that you have the right and responsibility to chase your unique vision. I want you to learn to follow your path with confidence, even if things get uncomfortable when you have to go against the grain. 

Tune in to this episode of the podcast to learn about:

  • Why you don’t have to have a rebellious spirit to go against the grain
  • How pushing back against the small issues can give you the confidence to push against the bigger issues
  • Why a thriving career in academia start with doing things your way

Learn how you can reshape the challenges you face into opportunities to stay faithful to your North Star.
