Navigate helps tenure-track womxn and nonbinary professors with a disruptive perspective on their field to publish their backlog of papers so that their voice can have the impact they know is possible.
Our Method is Unique Like You
In 12 digital modules delivered over 12 weeks, you’ll learn the method hundreds of womxn and nonbinary academics have used to resist the culture of overwork and create the space in their scheduled for publishing.
Group Coaching for Support
Every other week you’ll meet with one of our world-class coaches in a group coaching setting to work through the program material and keep you from getting stuck or stalled.
Co-writing in Community
Develop your relationship with your writing AND with your peers by co-writing together in the alternating weeks. Your coach will lead the group to set goals and then get to work together, sharing each other’s energy and creating writing “flow.”
Simple and Impactful
In just two hours per week, one hour working asynchronously on the module and one hour meeting together for coaching or co-writing, you’ll learn the systems to publish your backlog of papers–and get at least one out the door!
PROGRAM OUTCOMES
• A mapped-out publication pipeline which serves as a high-level project plan for your publication submissions over the next year
• A process for breaking writing projects into tasks and completing those tasks in a powerfully predictable way
• A mission-driven plan for time management that ensures time to think (and write)
• Create a nurturing, fruitful relationship with your writing by implementing our proprietary Soaring System™
• Set (and hold) boundaries around your writing time
• One (or more!) of your “low hanging fruit” articles submitted for publication by the end of the 12 week session (yes, you read that right!)
Navigate is for you if:
You are sitting on 3+ article drafts in various stages of “done” (from just an outline or figures to several sections written)
You have too much data for the amount of time that you have to write it up
You are in a full-time tenure-track or otherwise “permanent” academic position
You are looking for an accelerated way to clear their publication pipelines before taking on their next big project (like preparing their dossier for promotion, going on the job market, submitting a grant)
You have s**t to say!
