Being at your Peak!

Workshop/Training | Sparkshops

The professoriate can be a very satisfying life-long career IF it is handled well. Long-term work-life balance requires two things: a vision of what is needed for success professionally and personally and the work habits used by successful academics to achieve long-term work and life satisfaction. This practical interactive workshop, based on the evidence-based Peak Performing model, will explore the challenge of doing well in faculty jobs without having to be perfect. The workshop is based on the workshop, Peak Performing Professor, and the book, The Peak Performing Professor: A Practical Guide to Productivity and Happiness, both by Susan Robison (The Destressor Professor).
