Coaching for academics and STEM professionals
Working with a professional coach can help you clarify and achieve goals, overcome challenges, increase focus and reduce overwhelm, make changes that have been difficult to make, and gain clarity on important career and life questions.

What coaching is
A partnership
We work together to clarify your goals, overcome challenges, improve skills and move forward.
Confidential and client-directed
You set the agenda. Our conversations stay between us.
Flexible
Meet by phone, online or in person, whichever suits you best.
How coaching can help
I work with academics and STEM professionals at all career stages on topics such as:
Time, focus and productivity
Find time for what matters and reduce overwhelm.
Academic career progression
Stay on track for tenure and make the most of opportunities at each career stage.
Leadership and managing teams
Develop leadership skills and manage research teams effectively, including adjusting to new leadership roles.
Career direction and transitions
Explore career possibilities and navigate career pivots within or beyond academia.
Goals, values and change
Achieve your goals, make difficult changes, and live in accordance with your values.
Accountability and problem-solving
Have a supportive brainstorming and accountability partner for the challenges you are facing.
Specialized approaches
In addition to regular coaching, I offer two structured tools that many clients find especially valuable.
Immunity to Change™
A powerful process for changes that haven’t stuck despite previous attempts. It helps you uncover unconscious assumptions or commitments that work against the change you want, so you can finally achieve your goal. Available as a stand-alone 1–2 hour session or as part of a coaching package.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
Individual MBTI assessments, as part of a coaching package or as a separate engagement. A completely non-judgmental way of describing personality types that helps you understand yourself, see how others differ, and work and communicate more effectively.
