Dr erin mctigue
coach for academics and writers
I support academics in creating a purposeful, positive and productive life, aligned with their values and strengths.
Towards that goal, I will help you clarify your vision, harness your strengths and employ practical strategies to be a successful academic and writer.
I believe deeply in people’s capacity for intuition and finding wisdom already within one’s self. I aim to help people live true to themselves and play “big” in their world.
visioning
• Connecting with your core values to align your work and your Work (with a capital W!)
• Clarify what brings you energy and joy in your current work and life
• Creating a vision of your life with maximum fulfillment and impact
• Moving beyond your comfort zone to try out new possibilities and opportunities
project management
• After identifying your core projects, creating actionable project plans
• Deconstructing large, scary (and often vague) projects into doable tasks
• Setting healthy boundaries to create time for your high priority work
• Handling conflict effectively
writing support & feedback
• Developing healthy writing practices to reduce anxiety, build confidence and pace of writing
• Handling the emotional aspects of writing (e.g., imposter syndrome, fear of rejection)
• Introducing research-based strategies for efficient drafting and revision
• Formative feedback with the goal of improving writing acumen and efficiency (particularly for non-native writers of English)
accountability
• Identifying personal motivators and roadblocks at work
• Making ideas and visions into actionable plans
• Creating systems for adhering to new work plans, schedules, and goals
• Providing personal accountability at desired intervals (daily, weekly, etc.)
