My career feels much more aligned with the change that I want to see in the world.

 I loved the *internal work* that I did in this program to *empower* myself to make the external changes that I was looking for. I shifted out of a more mindless mindset that was all go-go-go, finish any work that someone sets in front me. Through the coaching program, I was able to give full attention to my internal compass and invest in my own research vision. This made it much easier to navigate the external circumstances and academic pressures that can lead to settling and exhaustion. The coaching program also gave me a name for some of the problematic aspects of academic culture, so I could learn to recognize them and not get tripped up again or doubt myself.

The paradigm of energy management and being real about my own energy patterns. 

The paradigm of energy management and being real about my own energy patterns. I kept putting things on my calendar bc I had free time. And then after not getting things done at that time (bc it was actually a terrible time for my energy), I would go into a shame spiral. It is freeing to recognize it and work towards reprogramming that unhelpful part of my thinking.

PhD, Social Psychology

I also feel supported in the community of women in the program with me.

I have never participated in any kind of academic coaching before. I really wasn't sure it was right for me - I was nervous about the time commitment and also nervous that it wouldn't be worth the cost. I think what I've realized is that having a coach who is invested in your success and has gone through struggles that are similar to yours is invaluable. All of the strategies and advice given are applicable to my academic journey and feel very targeted to my current career stage. I also feel supported in the community of women in the program with me. Knowing you are not alone in your struggles and finding a community of scholars who understands you is a really priceless part of this program.

The skills you will learn in this program will totally change the way you approach your work and your capacity for success!  

The skills you will learn in this program will totally change the way you approach your work and your capacity for success! Suddenly all these big mountains will become scalable with the tools you pick up and can apply. I now have much more of a sense of self-efficacy and understand better the idea of creating feasible steps to take me to my bigger goals. Also the cohort of women you go through this program with are amazing and I get a jolt of energy seeing their faces every two weeks.

I would say that it's a powerful experience to be in a cohort with folks who have similar experiences though the details of their work may be different.

GTG is a space for iron sharpening iron, leaning into an abundance mindset, and spending less time focusing on whether you belong and more time on giving yourself the best shot at excelling in your career.

This is for us to have.

 DO it - you deserve this time and space for you and your career - the system was not built for us and we no longer need to feel that is our fault or that we are just surviving. We have come too far to keep struggling!!!!

I am so glad I jumped at the opportunity to enroll in the coaching because it has been the singular most effective mindset change of my career.

 I initially heard about Kemi Doll on twitter and then listened to a podcast and everything she spoke resonated with me. I am so glad I jumped at the opportunity to enroll in the coaching because it has been the singular most effective mindset change of my career.

This program was everything for me.

This program was everything for me. I really needed a confidence boost this year, and it gave me that; a sense of assurance that I am on the right path, that I am seen, and that I bring a degree of worth to my institution that is beyond measure. I loved the structure, which provided good accountability without being overbearing. The concepts and skills were so tangible and so practical; I could see myself retaining these skills for life.

Dr. Doll -  the world needs you right now!

I've said this before...know that you and your ideas are worth it. And for people who have trouble starting from a place of self-interest, I would also say - the world needs you right now. An investment in this program and your career is also a way to invest in a better world. Academic research needs to the voices and ideas and brilliance of women of color, especially Black women. Without a doubt, elevating and empowering the work that you want to do, which is rooted in your lived experience, is better than the status quo.
