My talks and workshops are designed as a first step to your journey towards a healthy and empowered life in the Academy. All change takes time, so I've listed some resources below to help you to implement the strategies presented in the workshop.
DISCUSSION FORUM
Access the New Faculty Success Discussion Forum -- this is the location of the free online writing groups and the wonderful supportive community of daily writers that I mentioned in the workshop. Consider joining the Monthly Writing Challenges as a way to start your daily writing routine. You may also want to post your semester plan and/or look at othe's plans.
