What a coaching session actually looks like.

Here's an insider peek of how we get our clients moving forward.

Recording one

Feedback on a literature review

Recording two

The conversation behind the writing

How a session usually runs

You book it when you need it

Sessions are booked as you go rather than locked to a fixed weekly slot. Some weeks you want an hour with your coach. Some weeks you want to be left alone to write.

You bring the work

A chapter draft, an outline, a methodology decision you have been going round in circles on. The session is built around whatever is in your way that week.

We go through it together

Your coach reads it with you, points at the places that will cost you marks, and explains what a marker is looking for there. All of our coaches have been on that side of the desk.

You leave with clear next steps

Not a list of everything wrong with the draft. One or two things to do before the next session, in an order that makes sense.

Not everything needs a live conversation. You can also send work over for a written review, where your coach leaves comments through the document and you read them in your own time.
