Episode Synopsis

Professors: What lights you up in your job?If you need to think about your response to this question, I invite you to linger a bit here. Because I think it’s important for you to have some clarity on this as you move forward in your academic career—whether you’re just starting out as a new professor or you’re well beyond tenure. In this 43rd episode of the Rise with Clarity Podcast, I reflect on how being more  strategic and intentional about how you approach your faculty duties can be beneficial for you. You can find the full written transcript at RisewithClarity.com/43, along with all of my other podcast episodes and other resources for women of color faculty in higher education.Dr. Katherine Lee is a Higher Ed Coach and Career Strategist and a former tenured professor at an R1 university. She helps women of color faculty to manage the tenure track, navigate politics, and take the next steps to advance their careers.
