“Complete your program as the leader you are becoming.”
The doctoral journey asks you to develop as a scholar, a researcher, and a leader, simultaneously, in programs that don’t always make space for the full person behind the dissertation. The Doctoral Collective is a coaching community that meets you where you are: intellectually, professionally, and personally, and helps you complete your program as the leader you are becoming.
What the experience includes
- 12 live group coaching sessions — 90 minutes, twice monthly over 6 months (or 12 months)
- Peer community with other doctoral students who truly understand your context
- A shared framework grounded in the Discover — Design — Illuminate method
- Individual 1:1 coaching session with each participant at the program’s start
- Curated resources, tools, and a leadership reflection journal
- Post-program community access
What we explore together
- Establishing one’s scholarly and professional identity
- Navigating academic environments and scholarly voice
- Building accountability and influence without formal authority as a student
- Designing sustainable leadership and self-advocacy practices
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
- You want to explore and develop your leadership identity as well as your scholarly identity in your doctoral program
- You learn best in community with others who on a similar path as you
- You want access to actionable and timely frameworks to understand how to advocate for yourself as a graduate student
