Coaching

Individual coaching is available from Dr. Sonja Foss to help you complete your writing project. This is done largely by telephone and focuses on helping you make use of your own talents, resources, and strengths so that you are successful in the completion of your project.

Coaching can help individuals in a variety of areas. One student who had two months to complete her dissertation wanted to check in every evening to set goals for the following day and to be accountable for meeting the goals. Another student wanted help with the procedures for applying a critical method to his data. Another doctoral student got help with coding and learning to manage large amounts of data. A faculty member used coaching to help her complete her first book, which she needed for tenure and which she had been trying unsuccessfully to write for three years. Coaching helped her handle her anxiety about the process, gain control over her data, and write and revise in efficient ways, and she completed the book in seven months.

Coaching conversations can take place daily, weekly, or whatever best suits your needs. Dr. Foss' fee is $65 per hour, with payment required in advance.
