Description

This micro-learning course uses professional coaching techniques to help you decide if academia is the right career for you and to give you practical ways to explore other options and transition out of academia. As a former academic at at some of the best Universities in the world, a freelance consultant, and now a Director of Neuroscience, and start-up founder, I have a unique perspective on academia and industry. I share my tips for transitioning into industry. I have created a community that you can join for additional support. I am a seasoned mentor and have undergone comprehensive personal development and professional coaching. The course is designed to make it easy to do a few lessons a day, with the understanding that academia is an intense profession and time is limited. Stop wondering what else is out there and take control of your career. Even if you decide academia is the best career for you, use these techniques to boost your career development.

Learn how to build a network outside of academia, to find consulting opportunities and put your skills to new uses in industries that will compensate you fairly. Most importantly, join a community of people supporting eachother in new career directions.

Who this course is for:

  • Students, PhD students, postdocs, academics interested in moving into industry or finding industry jobs
