Why Hire a Coach?

Are you considering hiring a coach? It’s a big decision. You’ll need to work with someone who not only understands your topic, but who also works to understand you and your process. As a clinician and a coach, I aim to do both.

Hire a dissertation coach if you have

•    Difficulty choosing a topic
•    Poor time-management skills
•    No ability to envision completion
•    Little experience with writing
•    A topic that is very “close to home” and feelings of internal resistance

I can help you

•    Find a topic that resonates with you and is one you can manage
•    Discover your learning style and how best to digest and synthesize content
•    Choose a committee that works harmoniously with your work style
•    Create effective study habits that maximize time
•    Allow for planned “down time”
•    Uncover and tackle psychological “roadblocks” that may prevent you from moving forward
•    Navigate the political landscape inherent in dissertation research and review
•    Stay accountable, if necessary
•    Feel less overwhelmed
