WOMEN IN ACADEMIA
next workshop

Only 12% of tenured professors in the United States are women. This creates a sense of isolation which has an impact on teaching, publishing, research and career advancement. I work extensively with junior and senior women faculty in academic careers, across disciplines to address these issues. Learn to:

• Master public speaking techniques, particularly vital for career enhancement for women and under-represented minorities.
• Master the art of facilitation
• Acquire techniques to coach junior faculty
• Rediscover passion for your work
• Think strategically about the work you do
• Influence change
• Be bold

"One of the most dynamic and authentic speakers I have heard in a very long time. Linda is an excellent communicator not only across gender, but also race and class. Her skills begin with the ability to accurately read an audience...In addition, she is extremely introspective. Her insight into humanness is a skill which can only be developed after one has prepared and trained well."
