Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!When did you last get some negative feedback? As PhD students and academics, we get negative feedback quite often, either comments on drafts of papers, rejections from journals, applying for jobs, all sorts of things. We get bits of negative feedback and it can really hurt. So what do we do when we experience negative feedback? What do we do with the fact it hurts and how could we perhaps do something different in the future? That's what we're going to be talking about in today's podcast.If you liked this episode, you might also like this episode on What to do when you get contradictory advice****I'm Dr Vikki Wright, ex-Professor and certified life coach and I help everyone from PhD students to full Professors to get a bit less overwhelmed and thrive in academia.

How can colleges and universities design courses that foster constructive debate on controversial topics? What strategies effectively build psychological safety while encouraging students to engage with opposing viewpoints? How does practicing civil discourse prepare students and build skills to navigate complex societal and technological changes? We talk through these with Mario Rewers and Paul Stob, Professors at Vanderbilt University who teach a course called "Free Speech, Dangerous Ideas." Together, they outline actionable approaches for utilizing tech-free spaces, small-group deliberation, and active modeling to cultivate intellectual humility and durable skills for student success. Episode Highlights include: [04:45] Designing a "Big Tent" Course for Controversial Dialogue - Vanderbilt professors structure their 125-student course around small table groupings and guest speakers to debate real-world issues. [07:34] Fostering Psychological Safety in a Tech-Free Environment - Implementing a strict no-tech policy allows students to voice provocative ideas without the fear of going viral online. [17:04] Building Durable Life Skills Through Civil Discourse - Open deliberation equips students with intellectual humility and essential collaboration skills for navigating professional and civic spaces. [20:27] Debunking Free Speech Myths on Campus - The discussion highlights how college students are eager to grapple with challenging issues across political lines rather than avoiding them. [31:53] Human Connection and Liberal Education in the Age of AI - Face-to-face interaction and open-ended debate teach students to navigate ambiguity and think critically in an automated world.

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!Imposter syndrome often affects the most high achieving people yet it can still feel so true that you're “not good enough” and “conning” other people into believing you're better than you are. In this episode, I discuss a paradox that I see a lot in academics experiencing imposter syndrome - the tendency to simultaneously believe that you are an imposter AND hold yourself to higher standards than you hold other people. I'll discuss the five past experiences that may influence why you have these paradoxical beliefs and why recognising this can be the first step to overcoming some of these imposterish thoughts.  If you liked this episode, you might also like this episode on What the Celebrity Traitors taught me about imposter syndrome****I'm Dr Vikki Wright, ex-Professor and certified life coach and I help everyone from PhD students to full Professors to get a bit less overwhelmed and thrive in academia.

Aaron Rodgers balled out against the Bengals yesterday, and callers think that the quarterback is returning to his old form. More callers chime in on Rodgers and the Steelers as a whole. PM Team Professors. The guys grade performances from different members of the Steelers in the game yesterday. Donny gives Max Iheanachor an A+ grade for his debut performance. Mullsy agrees and also gives the rookie an A+. Jack gives Roman Wilson a C+ for his performance yesterday, Mullsy gives him a B.

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!How many times have you seen or been on a time management course? How many books and podcasts and blogs and social media posts have you seen about time management? I want you to compare that to how many times you've seen courses and support for energy management. So much less. It's so rare to see people discussing energy management compared to how often we see people talking about time management, and it just doesn't make sense because time passes. We can organize our tasks within time, but we can never manage time itself. It's the one commodity we have very little control over.But that's okay. Because actually time management is rarely the issue. Our issues are usually around energy management and focus management, yet there's much less support out there for this. So that's why I'm recording this podcast.If you liked this episode, you might also like this episode on doing a PhD with a chronic illness, with special guest Krystina François.****I'm Dr Vikki Wright, ex-Professor and certified life coach and I help everyone from PhD students to full Professors to get a bit less overwhelmed and thrive in academia.

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!It's so easy to believe that you don't have time for a life outside of academia. The pressure and the never-ending to-do lists mean that even having fun feels like one more thing you need to fit in. In this episode I talk about the benefits of having hobbies outside of academia, including how I found myself hanging by my ankles being rescued by people half my age. I also talk about how you can coach yourself to believe that you deserve that time to yourself. If you liked this episode, you might also like this episode on protecting your mental health during your PhD with Dr Marissa Edwards.****I'm Dr Vikki Wright, ex-Professor and certified life coach and I help everyone from PhD students to full Professors to get a bit less overwhelmed and thrive in academia.

There was a report during the broadcast yesterday that Joey Porter Jr. is healthy enough to play, it basically comes down to him wanting to. Has it been a distraction for Mike McCarthy? We got news yesterday morning that Porter will get a second opinion on the ‘back' injury this week ahead of the team's matchup against the Bengals. We noted Jalen Ramsey giving a subtle shout to Porter yesterday. Does the JPJ situation annoy you more than what happened on the field with the team yesterday? Gerry Dulac reported that the Steelers did offer Joey Porter Jr. a contract worth $27M/year to which he turned down. Did he turn it down because of the AAV or because of the guaranteed money, which was reportedly the hold-up all along? PM Team Professors.

Professors finding new ways around AI cheating in the classroom.

As a follow-up to our earlier episode on communicating with professors (#83), Lynn and Vicki explore some of the benefits of relationships with professors, what those relationships might look like, and how students might approach and work with faculty members outside of the classroom. We often assume many of these social skills are second nature and common sense, but post Covid, students may need help in developing these skills. Parents may be one of their student's most valuable coaches.Thank you for listening!Much more information for college parents can be found on our website, College Parent CentralFind us on Twitter at @CollParCentralFind us on Bluesky at @CollParCentral.bsky.socialSign up for our newsletter for ongoing information

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!One of the things I hear clients say most often is that they don't know what to do. They either don't know what decision to make in their life, they don't know how to do something, they don't know how to present their argument, how to structure their paper, they don't know which study to do, they don't know, they don't know, they don't know.It comes up all the time at every level of the academic journey, whether you're a PhD student or a full professor. This idea that we don't know something and that that is a problem can really cause a lot of delays. It's a huge source of procrastination. If you've written something in your kind of task list for the day and you get to it and you're like, yeah, I'm not really sure how to do that, it's really easy to decide, oh, I'll do it later. It's really easy to put off because you're putting off something that's kind of a bit nebulous anyway. This is something I've addressed with some of my one to one clients recently, and lots of them have had success with a really specific tool that I like to call the do know don't know list, which I'm going to share with you today.If you liked this episode, you might also like this episode on What to do when you don't know what to do****I'm Dr Vikki Wright, ex-Professor and certified life coach and I help everyone from PhD students to full Professors to get a bit less overwhelmed and thrive in academia.

I have felt strangely happy at the end of the day lately.That has not been normal for me.Most days, by the end of work, I feel worn down.Grumpy.Flat.A little miserable.I am a business professor.I spend a lot of time working alone.And that, I think, is the real issue.Not the work itself.The isolation.A lot of academic work is done this way.You disappear into your office.You write alone.You think alone.You struggle alone.Then you briefly reappear in a meeting or an email.And we act like this is normal.Maybe it is normal.But that does not mean it is good.The last few days have felt different for one reason:I have been spending more time with people I truly enjoy.People who are kind.People who are fun.People who feel good to be around.That changed everything.Same job.Same pressures.Same life.Different people.That is what made the difference.I think I have been talking about this for years through the R3ciprocity Project.Not to complain.To name something that many researchers quietly live with:academic work can be deeply lonely.And loneliness changes how the whole day feels.What has surprised me is this:By being open about that loneliness, things started to change.Slowly. Very slowly.But they changed.Wonderful people started to appear around me.Not all at once.Not dramatically.Just one small step at a time.And now I am realizing something I wish I understood earlier:I do not just want interesting work.I want a good working life.For me, that means being around people I care about.People I can laugh with.People who make the process feel human.So here is my message to anyone building a career right now:Do not only ask what work you want to do.Ask:Who do you want to be around while you do it?That question matters more than most people think.A huge part of life is work.So start building the kind of work life you actually want.One tiny step at a time.Be open.Say what is not working.Imagine what better would look like.Then move toward it, even if it takes years.My kids were little when I started trying to do this.Now they are almost grown.That is how long change can take.But small steps count.And sometimes, after enough of them, you get to the end of the day and realize:I have not felt this happy in a very long time.

Does someone locally have a scoop on Joey Porter Jr. and his contract talks? Is the hold-up all about the guaranteed money? The big-name NFL insiders have reported mostly the opposite – that the Steelers just don't value Porter as anything more than about a $25M/year player. ESPN lists 5 teams that could be looking at Joey Porter Jr. after Week 1. Which one is most attractive? PM Team Professors – Grades for PIT-ATL.

Preparing Neurodivergent Teens for College Is your neurodivergent teen truly ready to step onto a college campus and take charge of their independence? Transitioning from high school to higher education is a massive leap for any child, but for students with ADHD, autism, or dyslexia, it comes with a unique set of challenges, rules, and opportunities. Watching your child struggle with focus, late-night study meltdowns, or organization can leave you asking: How on earth will they manage college on their own? In this episode of The Impactful Parent, host Kristina Campos is joined by veteran professor and founder of Innovative Collegiate Consultants, Dr. Tara Williams. Together, they tear down common myths surrounding learning differences in college, discuss the massive shift in executive functioning demands, and break down how to build life-changing self-advocacy skills before move-in day. Learn how to shift your parenting role from a "manager" to a supportive "consultant," set up productive work routines at home, navigate accommodations, and help your child build a safety net to prevent burnout!

A big issue hangs over university students and professors, and that's artificial intelligence. There are some rules and guidelines, but professors are largely left on their own to determine how much they want to adopt AI or not – and that's created a wide range of opinions.Today, we hear from five Canadian university professors about how they're thinking about education and students in the world of AI. We speak with Amanda Perry, professor of literature at Champlain College-Saint Lambert and Concordia University; Matt Dinan, associate professor and director of the Great Books program at St Thomas University in New Brunswick; Sarah Elaine Eaton, professor in the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary; Adegboyega Ojo, professor and Canada Research Chair in AI Governance at Carleton University; and Mike Welland, professor of Engineering Physics at McMaster University.This episode originally aired May 4, 2026.Questions?

You can spend a fortune on college and still miss the point if you treat it like something to “get through.” In this episode, Vicki and Lynn sit down with political scientist and longtime professor Dr Michael Pomante, author of the book “What Professors Wish Students Knew: Things Parents and Students Should Know Before Attending College” to talk about the mindset shifts he wishes every student and parent understood before day one on campus. We discuss the decisions that shape the whole admission and college experience: how to know whether a college degree is truly the right path, what students actually learn outside the classroom, and why curiosity is more than a personality trait in higher education. Michael also breaks down an often overlooked detail for college planning: professors' jobs look very different at community colleges, liberal arts colleges, and large research universities, and that difference changes what kind of support and access students can expect. We also talk about balancing academics with a part-time job, how many work hours tend to be sustainable, and why determination often matters more than raw intelligence when things get hard. Thank you for listening!Much more information for college parents can be found on our website, College Parent CentralFind us on Twitter at @CollParCentralFind us on Bluesky at @CollParCentral.bsky.socialSign up for our newsletter for ongoing information

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!In this episode, I explain why chasing ‘perfect efficiency' is actually making your PhD harder. Many students think that taking flawless notes or writing excellent first drafts will save time — but this mindset often leads to procrastination and stress. Instead, I reveal why starting imperfectly is the key to progress. Writing is part of the thinking process, reading evolves with your understanding, and connecting with others can be the most effective use of your time. If you're overwhelmed by the pressure to be ‘productive', this episode will help you work smarter — not harder. Listen now to learn how embracing imperfection can help you finish your PhD with less stress.

Dr F Scott Feil covers Interleaving in another Teach Me Something Tuesday Interview

At college, young people have the opportunity to get to know peers from different ethnic, social, and political backgrounds. As a result, they meet students who see the world in completely different ways. So what should happen when students encounter ideas, histories, or each other in ways that make them deeply uncomfortable? Avoiding those conversations may reduce conflict in the short term. Simply encouraging students to “speak freely” isn't enough either. Without trust and skill, difficult conversations can reinforce divisions instead of bridging them. Professors and other educators can provide guidance drawing from a wide array of sources and points of view. But how can educators teach healthy constructive ways to engage with new ideas and different perspectives, especially in an age of polarization? Universities have become one of the places where America's conflicts over race, history, identity, and free expression play out most intensely. In the 2010s many scholars adopted a more critical view of American history and how it shaped our present. But the past few years have seen a roll-back of racial studies programs and diversity initiatives. Universities around the country have opened civics education centers, in some cases as a way of restoring a more traditional take on history. Our two guests this episode are professors who teach divisive topics including race in America and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. They've each found ways to engage students and create classroom cultures based on curiosity and respect. And they're leading the way for other educators. Stephanie Shonekan is Dean of the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Maryland. While chair of the Black Studies Department at the University of Missouri, Stephanie created and ran several programs geared towards inclusion and diversity. She's also an ethnomusicologist, and uses music to address difficult topics in class. She's the co-author of the book Race and the American Story. John Rose is a professor of the practice at the School of Civic Life and Leadership at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. He teaches several courses on civil discourse, including one titled “How to Think in an Age of Polarization,” which has inspired similar classes at colleges across the country. He holds a doctorate in theology.

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!Pretty much all PhD students have a vague (or very strong) sense that they're not taking “good enough” notes. Yet for most of us, we're not really clear what good enough notes would actually be like, and often have really unrealistic expectations about what function our notes should serve in the future. In this episode, I don't give you new systems or softwares to improve your notetaking - instead, I talk about how notetaking is your first opportunity to practice being an academic who is IN the field, not just reporting ON the field. I'll give you some specific notetaking activities to try and a pep talk on how important it is for the world to hear YOUR academic voice.  If you liked this episode, you might also like this episode on How to use your existing expertise when you feel like an imposter. ****I'm Dr Vikki Wright, ex-Professor and certified life coach and I help everyone from PhD students to full Professors to get a bit less overwhelmed and thrive in academia.

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!One of the most common comments I hear from PhD students is that reading always takes longer than they expect. In this episode, I share four elements that you need to take into account when deciding how much time you are going to give an article, book or other piece of writing. By being more intentional in considering these elements, you can be much more accurate in how long each piece will take to read and often read it in less time. This is crucial for anyone at any stage of their research career – not only will it help you to manage workflow and hit deadlines, it will also improve your understanding of the literature.  If you liked this episode, you might also like this episode on Why I'm banning highlighters.****I'm Dr Vikki Wright, ex-Professor and certified life coach and I help everyone from PhD students to full Professors to get a bit less overwhelmed and thrive in academia.
