BONUS: Choose 3 Adjectives To Describe Your Career

Have you tried several things in order to get the spaciousness you desire in your career? You might be trying to make sure you have the publication results that you know you need in order to keep hitting your goals and to keep making your impact on your field and in the world. People try a lot of things in order to hit these goals, but in order to design a career that you love and serves you best, you need to get clear on what exactly that career looks like for you. In this bonus episode, I share a technique that you can use to start to shift away from the cultural norms inside of academia and do something counterintuitive. The technique asks you to think of three adjectives you would use to describe your career if you could have it your way. Choosing 3 adjectives to describe your career is a great first step in designing a career you love and that has longevity. Using those 3 adjectives, ask yourself what that kind of professor would do.
