You

As a Dissertation Writer, you are skilled at writing, creative thinking, and researching. But possibly you have lost your way through this marathon creative process. Maybe you currently lack the focus, passion, or momentum needed to complete the journey.

Whatever calls you to seek dissertation coaching, I invite self-engagement first. Consider these remarks from others:

“How do I get out of the starting gate?”

“What’s being asked for feels impossible.”

“How do I keep my integrity and meet deadlines and standards?”

“What kind of ‘relationship with the literature’ do I want?”

“This seems like too much to accomplish in the time allotted.”

“I’m feeling like I’ll never get through this!”

“The sacrifice is so great, I’m thinking of quitting.”

Me

I enjoy "midwifing" insight and creativity and using my trio-focus perspective to ensure your productivity. I coach you to balance your original, creative impulses with your desire to deliver finished academic work.

Together, we create an individualized approach and pay attention to those crucial elements in your scholarly creative process:

I prompt you to widen the gateway to your original thinking.

I inspire you to articulate “detailed, careful, and deep distinctions” to enliven expression of your ideas.

I listen and help refocus your scholarly intention.

I assist you to make more room in your life for your dissertation work.

I prompt you to transform your creative impulses into tangible action and form.

I reorient you when you lose sight of your abilities and talent.

I hone in on immediate concerns so you sustain your writing momentum.

I act on my belief that creating a dissertation requires courage and sometimes the “grace of necessity,” when you’ve gone too far to turn back. Staying engaged challenges integrity and summons wisdom. Rigorous work goes into bringing a dissertation to life.

Them

“Them” is us! What you deliver is always already in the context of one or more communities, particularly your supervisor and your committee. Ultimately, you are the unique contributor, creating the finished work. At the same time, your dissertation develops within and meets specific academic standards.
