153: How We Knew We Needed to Change to Scholar’s Voice

Academic Writing Amplified

Do you still have questions on exactly what the turning point was and what the transition from Cathy Mazak LLC to Scholar’s Voice was like? We’ll walk you through all the details of when the tides started to turn, and why now finally felt like the right time to make it all official!

In episode 153, Cathy and Gina discuss the starting point of their working relationship and how everything since that point has been working toward where Scholar’s Voice is currently at. They share everything from how the company grew, and how they knew they needed a bigger team, to how they knew they needed to evolve as a company and what that process of growth has looked like as a team. In this conversation, they explain their new desire for a simplified and more impactful version of their programs and how the Navigate Pilot was born!

Join our Pilot Navigate Program: We are going to offer Navigate as a 12-week program to test out some changes we are considering making. It will run from February 2023- Mid-May 2023. In addition to our core Navigate curriculum, which we are reorganizing, reordering, and revising for this pilot version, what we're looking for is 10 to 20 academics who want to do this new pilot version of Navigate.
