Three Short Examples of Coaching PhD Students

Examples of PhD Coaching are paramount, even if short, in showing you the kind of ‘template’ the sessions will have. It might be that you have NEVER spotted coaching in your life before. I think this is because we are just not familiar with it. Despite coaching is not the way we NORMALLY conduct our business and private lives, it is still worth a try. Coaching in general and PhD coaching in particular are ENLIGHTENING and, for some people like me, they can even be TRANSFORMATIONAL.

Once you have appreciated the power of coaching, there is NO WAY BACK anymore. You cannot even imagine what coaching will do to you. It opens a door into a new world you could not even dream of before.

Have a look at this article How to coach teammates: A key responsibility of effective leaders by Justin Rosenstein and Carly Schwartz to find out more about what to expect from effective coaches. With time, as you start mastering the power of coaching, you will start naturally coaching ALSO your family members and, why not, friends as well. With little or even no effort, you start avoiding confrontations with those usual few difficult people, win the favour of the majority of others, and be happier and very satisfied overall.

I invite you to check the other related video in our blog You might be asking: is Coaching for me? to understand what coaching is about and if it can work for you. Only after you should dive into the examples of PhD coaching in today’s video.

PhD coaching is particularly important because a PhD is a unique opportunity to leap forward in your life. You really do not want to miss this shot. A PhD coach will assist you in that transformational change you deserve. Getting a PhD degree is not just another piece of paper on which your name is printed.  A PhD degree should signal to the world the high rank you have reached and how INFLUENTIAL you can be for others around you.

Now you are ready to jump into the examples of coaching we give you in this video. You can see three short examples taken from the real PhD coaching of students and researchers. In the video, I am reading from a script. I have also selected the passages of the coaching sessions that are more suited to people like you who might not be familiar with coaching.
The examples are useful to show what is the general style of coaching.
Coaching solves issues by generating forward MOVEMENT. Coaching does not look at the past trying to fix something that went wrong. That is COUNSELLING, instead. And counselling is done by professionals with a degree in psychology and special training.
