Not too long ago, Texas A&M University Clinical Associate Professor of Sport Management Claudia Benavides-Espinoza dreamed about being where she is today…but the problem was that she had an empty energy tank and was totally intimidated by the task at hand. To make full professor, Claudia needed a strategic plan for her future, and to take deliberate and methodical steps to make it happen - which is what led her to the Faculty Success Program. Not only did it give her the tools and accountability she needed, but the inspiration to come back as a coach and help academics just like her find personal and professional fulfillment also arose. It's not too late to join the FSP spring cohort. Learn more and register now: https://lnkd.in/gJPQ77ph
