What exactly is academic research empowerment coaching?

 

Coaching can be likened to a rocket launch. The stages of a rocket launch are a complex and carefully orchestrated event. The success of a rocket launch depends on the flawless execution at each stage. You are the rocket and I, as your coach, am the rocket boosters. The boosters are an important part of the launch sequence as they provide the rocket with the drive it needs to get into orbit and reach its destination. Once the rocket is in orbit, the boosters naturally detach as the rocket continues to its final destination.

Where to start?

 

My coaching style is flexible, and I aim to meet you wherever you are in your thesis journey. Whether you're just starting out, or gearing towards the end, coaching can help you to navigate the nuances of completing postgraduate studies and writing up your thesis.

I am able to provide research-specific input, but also support, encouragement and help challenge and change limiting beliefs/mindsets to ensure you not only finish your thesis, but do so with your mental health intact. Examples of what we can work on together are:

  • topic development
  • proposal writing
  • referencing
  •  literature reviews
  • critical review of articles
  • writing strategies
  • academic style
  •  publishing
  •  identifying and questioning limiting mindsets
  • instilling empowering mindsets
  • practicing self-compassion and kindness
  • conquering imposter syndrome
  • thriving in academia
