Focus Fridays are conducted on Zoom. 

Each session uses the same science-informed structure that provides participants maximum focus and performance:

⏱ Welcome and Breakthrough Bite Exercise (10 minutes)

⏱ Timed work sessions including breakout accountability check-ins and health breaks (120 minutes)

⏱ Wrap-Up and Q&A (5 minutes)

Aside from the alliteration, which I'm a bit obsessed about, I can't imagine a better day for two reasons.

(1) Most faculty don't have meetings on Friday; and

(2) Friday is your last opportunity to complete your weekly goals if you want to have a weekend without unfinished work looming in the background (or worse, the foreground).

Plus, think about how amazing you'll feel going into the weekend knowing your most important to-do's have been checked off. 

Absolutely! The structure, guidance, and accountability provided in each Focus Friday, plus the session prep and reflection exercises in the workbook, is everything you need to 10X your productivity.  

As a bonus, completing tasks you've had difficulty facing will raise your confidence and reduce any shame or guilt you've been carrying, making it easier to gather your focus in your next work session.

I hear you. I've got a shy side too, so I would never set something up that's awkward for folx like you and me.

The accountability groups are super small with 3-4 participants. There are only three check-ins per session, and I provide EXACTLY what you need to share.

This means there's no time to get nervous and no one is searching for conversation fillers. Phew!

I get it. Time is hard to come by normally, much less in this troubling moment. And I'll be honest, if you're able to focus well and get your work done, you don't need Focus Fridays.

But if you're struggling to find the time and the motivation to do your work, carving out just 135 minutes weekly for this program will help. I guarantee it!*

Focus Fridays are most applicable to faculty, grad students, and higher education administrators.

That said, others who think they would benefit from the program are welcome. 

Secure upfront payment is available via the "PAY NOW" option, which is applicable to participants paying out of pocket or who plan to seek reimbursement from their institution. 

The "REQUEST INVOICE" option is applicable to participants at institutions that require direct payment, not reimbursement, for approved professional development.

Invoices are sent via email and must be paid within 48 hours.

Enrollment is confirmed when payment is completed. 

I see you. And I understand the need for spaces where you can show up just as you are. 

I work hard to make Focus Fridays one of those spaces.

By way of numbers, the overwhelming majority of previous Focus Friday participants are women of color.

Also, I am a woman of color (Black/Asian/White) whose work centers positionality, power, and privilege, which is evident in my coaching.

They are not. What makes Focus Fridays special is that it's live. You can't replicate the real-time accountability and support in a recording. 

A limited number of grants are available to WellAcademic community members who would benefit from the program but need assistance to cover the costs.

These grants are on a first come, first served basis. Because we're only able to offer a limited number and do not ask for proof of need, please do not seek a grant if you have the means to pay for the program without this assistance.
