1:1 Creating an Action Plan to be Hired as Faculty with Dr K Systems Thinker HighEd

If you’re trying to move into a teaching faculty role, you might be feeling:

• Unsure where to start
• Confused by conflicting advice
• Frustrated that your applications aren’t getting traction

And the truth is: 👉 This process is not always transparent.

Many candidates are qualified. But they don’t know what actually matters from the department’s perspective.

What this session is about

This is a personalized 1:1 session where we focus entirely on you:

👉 Your background 👉 Your goals 👉 Your current challenges

Together, we will create a clear, realistic plan to help you move forward with confidence.

What makes this different

I work inside a university environment, and I see how candidates are evaluated, I sit in search committees!

I see:

• What makes someone stand out
• Where candidates struggle
• And what departments are actually looking for

This session is designed to give you:

👉 an inside perspective + practical guidance

What we will do together

During the session, we will:

• Assess your current profile honestly and constructively as a team
• Identify strengths you can leverage immediately
• Highlight rooms for improvement that may be holding you back
• Clarify your target path (adjunct, lecturer, teaching professor)
• Build a step-by-step action plan tailored to you

What you will leave with

By the end of this session, you will have:

✅ A clear direction (no more uncertainty)

✅ A prioritized action plan

✅ Greater confidence in your next steps

✅ A better understanding of how hiring actually works

✅ Knowing that I will be here for help

Who this is for

This session is ideal if you are:

• A PhD student exploring teaching roles
• A Master’s graduate interested in teaching
• A professional in industry considering adjunct opportunities
• Someone who feels stuck or unsure how to move forward

A note from me

You don’t need to have everything figured out before this session.

You don’t need a perfect CV, perfect answers, or perfect preparation.

👉 You just need a willingness to take the next step. Take that step now!

My goal is to help you:

• See what is possible
• Understand what matters
• And move forward with clarity

After booking

Take a moment to reflect:

👉 What is one area you feel uncertain about right now?

👉 What would make the biggest difference for you?

Bring that into the session—and we’ll work through it together. I spent almost a full decade mentoring, advising and coaching as a professor and I am still active.

Final thought

You don’t need to navigate this path alone. With the right guidance and a clear plan, you can position yourself much more effectively.

👉 This session is your opportunity to accelerate that process.

✅ If you’re ready to move forward with clarity and confidence—this is for you.

I will see you in the call.

Good luck!
