Academia runs on brilliance, but the culture can wear you down in a hundred small ways. Committee politics. Being talked over in meetings. Colleagues who do not realize how they come across. Slowly making yourself smaller just to keep the peace.

Join Sam Expert Joanna Lovering, Leadership & Presence Consultant, for a complimentary 30-minute webinar focused on building your armor. You will learn practical ways to protect your presence and your peace, set a boundary without apologizing for it, and take up the space you have earned.

Joanna will share specific phrases and small moves you can use in difficult interactions, along with ways to handle the people and dynamics that leave you feeling dismissed, diminished, or worn thin.

This session is for faculty, researchers, and staff, especially introverts and the quietly brilliant, who are tired of being talked over, cut down, or made to feel smaller by people who may not even realize they are doing it.

Come meet Joanna, learn a few tools you can use right away, and leave with a stronger sense of how to hold your ground without losing yourself in the process.
