Testimonials
"Working with Tes has provided much-needed structure to my writing, boosted my confidence, and finally has given me the feeling that I could indeed get my book finished.”
— F., assistant professor
“You were supportive and inspiring, and your suggestions were delivered clearly and in such a way that I understood the rationale. Without that clarity, it would have been much more difficult for me to make the extensive cuts required by my publisher. I also appreciate that you really seemed to get inside the book and what I was trying to do. Knowing that you understood my goals helped me trust in your suggestions.”
— Anna Schultz, Professor of Music and the Humanities, University of Chicago
"[Our] sessions have helped me to define a vision for the next stage of my career through identifying those qualities that are strengths. Tes is a valued disciplinary colleague; she's someone with whom I already had trust, and when I learned that she was moving into coaching, I thought that foundation was perfect to undergird the vulnerable work of assessment and growth.”
— K., professor
“Wow. [Our] sessions have been so helpful primarily in reframing my work and getting to the root of the reasons why I feel certain ways while working. They’ve unearthed fears and insecurities I didn’t realize I even had, and they’ve provided me with tangible, actionable steps to improve in the future. I tell [my peers] ‘I'm LOVING it. For me, it’s worth every penny.’ Coaching has completely reframed how I am approaching my dissertation and writing in general.”
— H., Ph.D. candidate (now assistant professor)
