Don't Give Up . . .

IT'S TIME TO FINISH, 

YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO . . .​

When I began to teach dissertation development, I created a game based on my own doctoral work, to help doctoral students orient themselves in the process. Contact me if you'd like a larger photo of this.

Not on My Watch!

The statistics are shocking, one in 3 doctoral students does not cross the finish line and remains in All But Dissertation status--not the 3 initials you want, when a  PhD is within your reach. To me these three letters ABD are a tragedy. Having spent a literal fortune and then not completing one's dissertation is heartbreaking to contemplate. Believe it or not, you can finish your dissertation and actually sometimes even have fun doing it.

I work with students to make sure that they achieve this important milestone in their professional careers, so that they can harvest the riches that their education has given them.

As my patron saint Mary Poppins [and subject of one long chapter of my own dissertation] says: "Well begun is half done!"  In my work with graduate students, we work together to make sure that you, your topic, and methodology are a good fit--taking your committee, life and time commitments into consideration. Then together we craft a workable plan to proceed, and brainstorm any obstacles that may come up and figure out how to deal with them. And it doesn't stop there.

All along the journey,  we'll find ways of keeping your brain happy while you are working on your dissertation, so you can do your best work. We strategize the best and most productive times to work, and ways that you can eat this elephant bite by bite, until you happily and joyfully have defended your completed dissertation. I'll be with you every step of the way, I've been there and helped many others to get their dissertations finished.
