From Researcher to Research Leader
Strategic coaching for postdoctoral researchers, lecturers, and mid-career academics ready to advance, publish, fund, and lead with intention.
The barriers researchers face at critical career junctures
Career plateau despite strong outputs
Publishing consistently but not progressing — promotion criteria feel opaque and political.
Grant applications not converting
Technically sound proposals that lack the strategic framing reviewers and funders reward.
Isolated from strategic networks
Working in silos without the collaborations and visibility that accelerate careers.
Promotion-ready but not promotion-prepared
You have the track record, but lack a structured case and strategic positioning for the next level.

- You're a postdoctoral researcher seeking your first permanent academic appointment
- You're a lecturer or senior lecturer preparing for associate professorship
- You're an associate professor positioning for full professorship
- Your grant applications have been unsuccessful and you need strategic feedback
- You want to build international collaborations but don't know where to start

Coaching & Accountability
Regular sessions to review progress, adapt strategy, and maintain momentum through career transitions.
I'd been stuck at senior lecturer for four years. The coaching helped me see exactly what was missing from my promotion portfolio and build a twelve-month strategy that actually worked. I'm now an associate professor.
Your career won't advance on autopilot
