Book Your Coaching Session
Are you that student?
You have a career. A family. A life that did not pause for your doctorate. What you do not have is time to waste on another round of feedback you cannot decode. You are working hard, but you still feel stuck, because nobody has told you exactly what your chair, your committee, or your university expects.
What should I revise first? Why does my chair keep asking for alignment? What belongs in each chapter? How do I connect my problem, purpose, research questions, and methodology? How do I get ready for my defense? If you are asking these questions, you do not need vague feedback. You need clear, practical guidance from someone who has read hundreds of chapters like yours and knows exactly what to do next.
What coaching does for you
- Clarify what your dissertation needs next. Guidance based on where you are in the process and what is keeping you stuck.
- Strengthen alignment across your study. We look at how your problem statement, purpose statement, research questions, methodology, design, population, data collection, and analysis connect.
- Leave with a clear action plan. You will know what to revise, what to strengthen, and what to complete next.
- Build confidence in your process. Every session is with me directly, on Zoom, one on one.

How coaching works
After you purchase, you will receive instructions for scheduling your session based on available appointment times. Sessions are held virtually through Zoom. Before the call you may be asked to submit a brief description of your dissertation concern, your document section, or your committee feedback, so we use every minute of your session on what matters most.
Because sessions are reserved specifically for you, please give at least 24 to 48 hours notice if you need to reschedule. Missed sessions or late cancellations may be forfeited.
What students say
What this coaching does not include
This coaching is designed to support your growth, clarity, and progress. It is not a shortcut, a writing service, or a guarantee of approval. It does not write your dissertation for you, complete assignments for you, replace your chair or committee, guarantee approval or a specific timeline, provide ghostwriting, or replace your university template, policies, or IRB requirements.
Coaching works best for the doctoral student who is serious about doing the work but needs clearer guidance, structure, and support.
Questions students ask
Is this coaching only for qualitative dissertations?
My primary focus is supporting students with qualitative dissertations, especially alignment, research questions, methodology, Chapter 3, proposal preparation, and defense readiness.
Will you write my dissertation for me?
No. Coaching is not a writing service. You write and submit your own work. Coaching provides guidance, feedback, clarity, and support to strengthen it.
Will you edit my dissertation?
Coaching may include guided written feedback depending on the offer selected, but it is not a full editing or proofreading service. The feedback helps you see what needs clarification, alignment, organization, or revision.
What is the difference between coaching and written feedback?
Coaching is a live one on one meeting to discuss your questions and next steps. Written feedback provides comments on selected sections so you understand what to strengthen or revise.
What happens after I purchase?
You receive instructions for scheduling your session and submitting materials, such as your section, PowerPoint, committee feedback, or specific questions, so the session is focused and productive.
How long are sessions?
Sessions are 60 minutes, except Defense Coaching, which is 75 minutes.
Can you help me understand my chair or committee feedback?
Yes. We can review the feedback together, work out what needs to be revised, and build a practical plan for responding.
Can you help with my proposal defense or final defense?
Yes. Defense Coaching covers your PowerPoint, presentation practice, explaining your study clearly, and preparing for committee questions.
Do you guarantee my dissertation will be approved?
No. Approval decisions belong to your university, chair, committee, methodologist, IRB, and program. Coaching strengthens your work and your confidence, but approval cannot be guaranteed.
What is the refund policy?
Because coaching involves reserved time, preparation, and personalized support, payments are non-refundable once services begin.
Can I reschedule my session?
Yes, with at least 24 to 48 hours notice, following the scheduling policy provided after purchase. Reschedule as early as you can if you cannot attend.
Is coaching confidential?
Yes. Your topic, materials, and discussions are treated with professionalism and care. Your work is not shared with others.
Stop guessing. Start making intentional progress.
Every session is with me, one on one. You bring the document and the questions. I bring more than fifteen years on the approving side of the table. Together we build your next step.
