Publishing consistently but not seeing proportional recognition or influence?
The situation this course is for
Many accomplished academics produce significant work year after year, yet remain under-recognized beyond their immediate circles. The challenge isn't output, it's positioning. Without a deliberate strategy, even high-volume publishing fails to translate into leadership roles, policy influence, or institutional authority. The gap between productivity and prominence is widening, especially in competitive research ecosystems where visibility determines opportunity.
Who this is for
An established academic with a strong publication history seeking greater recognition, influence, and leadership impact within their institution and region
Who this is not for
Early-career researchers building their first publications, or those focused solely on teaching roles without research ambitions
