group coaching

why group coaching?

Your objective is to increase your productivity and inspire motivation so you will be excited to engage with your graduate studies. Through this effective, group coaching model, you will better define your goals, identify your resources and challenges, reduce your stress, and better manage your time.

You are only in graduate school for a short period of time, and we want to support you in maximizing this opportunity.

build your own group coaching cohort

We are currently not offering any open-enrollment group coaching cohorts. However, you may be able to build your own cohort! All you need is at least five students interested in participating. You do not need to be in the same program, college, or even university — you simply need to be graduate students looking to increase productivity and motivation.

Total cost: $325 per student (discount offered to cohort organizer)
