Request Strategic Academic Coaching

This application is for scholars and academic professionals who are working on high-stakes projects and want structured, expert support to advance their work with clarity, authority, and momentum.

Our work is designed for projects where:

  • The stakes are real (publication, promotion, visibility, funding, or institutional review)

  • The work is strong but difficult to place, frame, or advance

  • Generic advice is no longer sufficient

We provide personalized coaching for:

  • Dissertation-to-Book Development
    Translating sustained research into a clear, compelling, and publishable book.

  • Book Proposal Strategy
    Clarifying the core contribution of your work, sharpening the argument, and positioning the project within existing scholarly and publishing frameworks.

  • Faculty Promotion, Tenure, & Portfolio Narratives
    Articulating the value, coherence, and impact of research, teaching, and service in ways that align with institutional expectations.

  • High-Stakes Presentation Coaching
    Job talks, public lectures, conference presentations, and keynotes that communicate scholarly work with clarity and authority.

With nearly 30 years of combined academic experience, we work with scholars who are ready to engage seriously with their projects and who value structured analysis, expert feedback, and strategic guidance over quick fixes.

Before You Apply

This application is a first step, not a commitment.

We review each submission carefully to assess:

  • Whether we are the right partners for you right now

If we believe we can help, we’ll outline clear next steps. If not, we’ll let you know directly.
