A SAMPLE OF HER CLIENTS & COLLABORATORS

Today's universities struggle to address crucial problems.

Nearly all researchers experience...

1) POOR ADVISORS 

  • Molding them in THEIR IMAGE
  • Driven by IDEOLOGY, NOT DATA
  • Pushing for UNWANTED CHANGES
  • Who DON'T SET TIME aside for them
  • Who have limited EXPERIENCE OUTSIDE academia 

2) IDENTITY CRISIS 

  • Feeling like a FRAUD
  • Struggling with PROCRASTINATION
  • Inability to DEBATE work or views
  • Having no direction AFTER RESEARCH
  • Inability to explain how they're PUSHING THE FIELD FORWARD

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? 

This masterclass arms you against these problems.
