Team Coaching

Academic teams take many forms. Whether you identify as a research group, lab, task force, or other type of contingent, team coaching can help you and your colleagues be more efficient and effective in your work

I partner with Dr. Katherine Wright of the Positive Academic to offer team coaching to all levels of academic groups. We will help you identify your strengths — as individuals and as a whole — and support you in developing ongoing positive relationships that can lead to increased productivity.

While we work with all levels of academics, we specialize in supporting graduate student groups, particularly STEM lab and research groups. We also have experience working on National Science Foundation (NSF) grants and can be included to enhance your Mentoring Plan for students or post-doctoral researchers. Contact us for more information, options, and proposal letters of support

Katherine and Erin's team coaching had a significant impact on the students in my research team. I noticed not just an improvement in the way they conveyed their research findings in writing, but also visible was the change in the way they communicated with one other to share new ideas and criticism. This, in turn, influenced how students were able to successfully undertake research collaborations.
