Dissertation Breakthrough Session

Feeling stuck doesn't mean you need more time. It usually means you need a better plan.

If you've been spinning your wheels, second-guessing your next step, or working hard without making meaningful progress, this session is designed to change that.

The Dissertation Breakthrough Session is a 90-minute strategic consultation where we'll identify exactly what's slowing you down and create a realistic plan to move your dissertation forward with confidence.

This is not a generic coaching call. Think of it as a dissertation audit.

Together, we'll examine where you are in your process, identify the biggest barriers to progress, and build a personalized 90-day action plan centered around one clear, achievable goal. You'll leave knowing exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to stay consistent without burning yourself out.

During your session, we'll:

• Assess where you are in your dissertation process.
• Identify the biggest obstacles preventing progress.
• Clarify your highest-impact goal for the next 90 days.
• Break that goal into manageable milestones with target completion dates.
• Create a realistic weekly writing schedule that fits your life.
• Develop a self-care and sustainability plan so you can make progress without sacrificing your well-being.
• Discuss challenges related to your chair, committee, research design, writing process, time management, or motivation.
• Receive personalized recommendations and expert guidance based on your unique situation.

You'll walk away with:

• A completed Dissertation Audit.
• A personalized 90-day dissertation roadmap.
• Milestones with suggested deadlines.
• A customized writing schedule.
• A self-care plan to support long-term consistency.
• Strategic recommendations tailored to your dissertation.
• Greater clarity, confidence, and direction.

This session is perfect if you:

• Feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start.
• Have stopped making progress and need a reset.
• Need help creating a realistic writing plan.
• Want expert feedback before moving into your next chapter.
• Are preparing for a proposal or dissertation defense.
• Need accountability and an outside perspective from someone who understands the dissertation process.

Before your session

After booking, you'll receive a brief intake questionnaire so I can review your current situation before we meet. If applicable, you'll also have the opportunity to submit dissertation materials for review so we can spend our session focused on strategy instead of catching up.

Walk away with a clear plan, realistic expectations, and the confidence to stop wondering what to do next and start making measurable progress toward graduation.
