Coaching for Researchers and Leaders
What is coaching?
Coaching is a personalized and collaborative process aimed at helping individuals achieve specific goals, overcome challenges, and maximize their potential. In various fields, including academia, sports, business, and personal development, coaching is a supportive and transformative relationship between a coach and a client aimed at supporting the client's achievements. Coaches work to understand the unique needs and aspirations of their clients, offering guidance, encouragement, and constructive feedback to facilitate skill development and problem-solving. The ultimate aim of coaching is to empower individuals to make informed decisions, enhance their performance, and achieve success in their chosen fields.
How does it work for researchers?
In the context of research coaching, the focus is on guiding individuals through the intricacies of their academic endeavors. Our seasoned research coaches bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the table, assisting you at every stage of your research process. Whether you're starting out on your thesis, fine-tuning your methodology, developing your publication record or setting out on your first keynote presentation, our coaches are here to provide personalized, one-on-one guidance that aligns with your unique goals.
Training for researchers
The traditional boundaries of research are changing, giving rise to a new era of global collaboration. Cross-disciplinary partnerships are breaking down barriers, creating synergies that lead to groundbreaking discoveries. Research is no longer confined to individual minds but thrives in the interaction between diverse perspectives and expertise.
We specialise in cross disciplinary training such as Qualitative methods for STEM Researchers and vice versa!

Supervising the Modern Doctorate
The modern doctorate can be Professional, Practice based, by Public Works/Publication or by Research. It fulfils a variety of purposes, ranging from knowledge exchange between industry and academia, the development of higher levels of professional practice and individualised development programmes for practitioners of advanced standing. A significant driver in the growth of such programmes is their contribution to training individuals who are ‘creative, critical and autonomous intellectual risk takers’ capable of contributing to all sectors where deep rigorous analysis is required.’ (ERA 2010).
Designing and supervising such doctorates requires a broadening in the focus and context of the study from work within a single discipline within the academy to addressing multidisciplinary issues within the workplace itself. The corresponding shift in purpose, form, structure and context of the doctorate (Jackson, 2009) poises some significant pedagogical issues that must be addressed by the supervisory team.
We work with HEIs to develop supervisory training programmes that work with the Research Strategy of the Institution whilst contributing to the academics' own research development.
