"I just wanted to say thank you so much. I cannot adequately express how much of a game changer this workshop was. I received more practical skills about how to thrive in academia in that 6 hours [of program content] than I have in all my education so far."
Graduate Student, University of Saskatchewan
"This workshop was A++++. I have pages of notes and it has changed my mindset on things I need to change as a doc student... I realized I have been counting myself out prematurely, that instead I have strengths that I've been ignoring and weaknesses that are surmountable. This was like therapy but so much more!... So glad I attended."
Doctoral Student, Montclair State University
"It has really energized me and reframed how I should strive to conduct my work and approach my goals. Long-term planning has always been something that I've found daunting, but [this] workshop made it such an exciting experience ...! I already mentioned the benefits of [the] workshop to my PI, and I am recommending [the] upcoming webinar to friends ... I want so many others to benefit from [this] incredible guidance."
Masters Student, Boston University

"This program allowed my to critically reflect on my WHY, recenter my personal and academic goals, and actively engage in strategies to promote my long-term success. I found myself facing difficulty with making progress on my Qualifying Paper, and your workshop inspired immense clarity and direction! I am confident the lessons I learned and the connections I gained will allow me to meet my goals and finish the semester stronger than expected!"
Doctoral Student, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
