Academic gaps are widening, and addressing them requires a strategic, comprehensive approach.

The Compassionate Cohort will be having our next meeting this FRIDAY (September 6) at 1pm ET on Zoom! If you are a former professor who has recently left your academic position and you are seeking community in the midst of your career pivot, feel free to join us! The intention behind Compassionate Cohort is to create a supportive and judgment-free online gathering space for former (and current) academics who are navigating the logistics and the emotional landscape of leaving academia. Here's what you can expect: -An hourly virtual meeting based on the values of compassion and support (and safe space) for current or former academics -A place to come virtually via Zoom and network/connect with others (connections can be career support or just sharing where you are in your journey/hobbies) -Bi monthly meetings to share ideas and lend support to others on recovery and post academic challenges -A space to hear others' stories and share your own -A private LinkedIn page to connect with others -A google contact sheet list of members to network with (some CC members have met in person or virtually!) -All free and open door (come and go as you please) -No membership needed (no dues, etc) This free peer-support group is facilitated by Dr. Jodie N. Mader, Ph.D. and Dr. Katherine Lee, two former tenured professors who have pivoted into proposal writing/analysis and coaching. Both of us have experienced the power of being able to share our stories, challenges, and wins with one another during the past 2 years. (Jodie left over 3 years ago, and I left last year) We’ve also noticed that the decision to pivot out–after spending more than a decade as professors–often entails the loss of one’s former academic community. We hope to create a supportive space and an opportunity for connection and community-building among former academics through the Compassionate Cohort! Feel free to RSVP here for the Zoom link or reach out to me or Jodie N. Mader, Ph.D. anytime! t.ly/ALqBU (If you've attended a previous meeting and you have received e-mails from Jodie, there's no need for you to RSVP a second time. Just hop on the Zoom call!)

Traditional focus groups sometimes fall short in capturing the depth and breadth of qualitative insights needed to drive impactful decisions. That's where a Bulletin Board Focus Group (or as we call it, a BBFG) comes in!  Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eVFYWbt9 Our latest blog, "Give Your Education Market Research a Boost with Bulletin Board Focus Groups," discusses how this unique focus group style can deliver deep insights that will help refine your K-12 outreach and product development strategies.  Curious about how BBFGs work?
