The Doctoral Collective

Group Cohort Coaching

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
I'M IN

“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
