Dissertation Coaching

Writing a dissertation can be a long, isolating process, often with insufficient structure and guidance from your university. Your friends and family may be supportive, but they have not been through the experience themselves and often struggle with how to be most helpful to you.

Does this sound familiar?

Through the Foresight Coaching approach, the foggy world of the dissertation will become a clear path to your degree!

Dissertation coaching services include:

Motivational coaching to identify and resolve barriers that are holding you back from making progress on your dissertation.

Structures such as timelines and action steps to get from your idea to a completed, ready-for-publication document.

Accountability through co-creating mechanisms by which both you and I hold you accountable to your chosen commitments.

Consultation on methodological, analytical, theoretical and other content aspects of your dissertation.

Document review for clarity, flow and impact.

Client Testimonial                      
I started working with Dr. Paula because the dissertation process was very solitary compared to the course work. Although I met weekly with classmates and worked closely with the university writing center, I found myself needing more assistance with writing and motivation to finish.  Dr. Paula provided meaningful feedback and suggestions which elevated my writing to a more academic level. She also provided gentle coaching and support when I needed encouragement. She has a real gift for interpersonal communication and provided the guidance I needed to complete my dissertation.

Paula's dissertation coaching has helped me to get "unstuck" by guiding me with instructive feedback and technical writing support - as well as motivating me to envision a future that includes a completed dissertation.
