COACHING FOR
graduate students
Are you constantly overwhelmed by deadlines — even when you're trying your best to stay on top of things?
Do you feel like you're working hard – balancing teaching & research – but not seeing the progress you want?
What if you could boost your academic productivity by working more efficiently — not just more?
What would it mean for your research, writing, and well-being if you had support designed just for grad students?
Coaching provides personalized, one-on-one support to help graduate students build confidence, manage time, and overcome procrastination. Coaches assist students in clarifying goals, strengthening study and writing habits, and navigating key academic transitions. With practical strategies and accountability, students stay focused, communicate effectively, and connect their education to career and personal growth.
Our coaching style embodies the core principles of the profession: cultivating trust and safety, practicing active listening, evoking self-awareness, and facilitating growth. With an ability to break down complex ideas, adapt to diverse learners, and spark thoughtful reflection, we’ll empower others to build self-efficacy.
Past clients describe the results you can expect:
Bringing a deeply person-centered approach...she demonstrates a strong understanding of how my personal and academic background influences my goals, learning style, and overall trajectory as a Ph.D. student. Her ability to connect on this level has been instrumental in helping me build realistic and strategic plans for achieving key program milestones. She has helped me scaffold timelines for research projects, coursework, and professional development in ways that are both rigorous and sustainable.
At a time when I faced significant obstacles—including limited time due to my full-time professional commitments, gaps in my understanding of the dissertation process, and dwindling motivation — her guidance proved indispensable. Our regular meetings created a structured yet flexible framework for assessing progress and devising effective strategies to overcome these hurdles...I learned not only to identify and address the root causes of my anxieties but also to align my efforts realistically with my available time and resources.
Through her open communication, honesty, empathy, and extensive prior knowledge, I have become a higher performing student...As I adjusted to the rigor of my program, she pushed me to ground myself in my motivations for pursuing my degree. She shared her perspective on the broader culture of academia, which helped me anticipate and navigate the hidden curriculum of graduate study.
She has helped me set goals and maintain momentum during difficult stages of my own graduate study...provided mentorship and support as I prepared for my qualifying exam (QE), always holding me accountable for small gains each week but also keeping me focused on the bigger picture and purpose of the QE experience.
