Thesis or Dissertation Coaching

The thesis or dissertation is the most significant academic project you have undertaken so far. It is not just a hazing ritual or rite of passage, it is a core part of your future professionalization and can be used as a springboard for early successes if planned correctly. Over our fully customizable sessions, we will:

Determine the right topics and research questions for you to pursue.
Design your methodology and overall strategy to gathering high-quality data that can actually answer your research questions.
Create a timeline of action-steps to keep you making solid progress towards completion. Emphasis will also be placed on what to do with your thesis/dissertation after graduation (e.g., published articles, book, portfolio).

Chalkboard with squiggles written on it.

Each academic milestone has a unique set of challenges to overcome.

An academic coach can help you navigate those challenges. I focus on clarifying your overarching goals and linking them to strategic and achievable action-steps. No more need for intimidation, procrastination, imposter syndrome, or writer's block. It is time to move forward.
