The academic year arrives already full. You can meet it as a list of things other people need from you. Or you can spend one hour deciding what you need from it first. Free online workshop, details in the comments.

Every yes to something unsustainable is a no to something that matters. What are you saying no to without realising it? This workbook helps you see these exchanges clearly, then rebuild your definition of 'good academic' so boundaries don't contradict your identity. (link in comments)

We make trade offs all the time. We don't always choose them. An empty inbox traded for sleep. What did last year cost you that you never decided to pay? This is just one question in my free workshop which supports you to look back before we plan the year ahead. Sign up link in commen

The gap between what brought you into academia (curiosity, knowledge, teaching) and what keeps you awake at night (metrics, admin, emails) grows wider every year. Next year could be different - DM to discuss.

'You get the context, but also help me actually do something with it.' Empathy isn't enough on its own. Neither is strategy without it. If you're unsure whether coaching is for you, that uncertainty is worth a conversation. Book a call. #academicskyuk #AcademicSky #Academia #Lecturer

Every year you mean to protect your research time. Every year it's the first thing to go. It has no deadline, so it loses to everything that does. I am offering a free hour on planning the year so the thing you care about doesn't slip off the sides again. See the link in comments.

Every yes to someone else is a no to yourself. Your research. Your sleep. Your family. You can't keep doing this. Free workbook: learn to say no without guilt by rebuilding what "good academic" actually means. [Link in comments]

Nobody gives academics a start-of-year review. You know you get induction, timetables, and a full inbox. Then your priorities fit inbetween the cracks. You don't get an hour to ask what you actually want from the year. So I'm giving you one. For free. Details in the comments.

It is a hard truth is that academia runs on our sacrifice. Our weekends. Our health. Our families. They don’t measure these things, it’s up to you. When did you last run a report on your own wellbeing? Book a call to get started https://www.rfr.bz/bd727d569

This ladder. This is academia. You didn't choose to get on it. You just kept taking the next logical step. PhD. Postdoc. Lecturer. Senior lecturer. . . But there may come a point when ask how to keep climbing without breaking, and whether you actually want what is at the top. DM to discuss

We start each year with fresh intentions and the same conditions, then we are surprised when it runs the same way. In this free workshop we analyse last year, then we learn and plan from it. One hour, one workbook, and you're all planned and ready to go. Sign up in the comments.

Something felt off when Jo came back from maternity leave. She couldn't quite name it. Was it the role? The hours? Not being sure she wanted to catch up with her career in the same way? Sometimes that feeling is worth paying attention to. DM to discuss.

"I'll think about next year once I've got through this term." But the next year arrives already full, with little bandwith for reflection and planning inbetween. I'm running a free workshop to look at the year ahead & decide what you want, before it decides for you. Link in comme

No emails after 7pm. One work-free weekend day. Protected writing time. These are reasonable boundaries. Then you feel that tension between what you want to do to uphold your boundaries, and what you think you should do as a good academic. I've created a free workbook that addresses this tens

I've been there twice myself during maternity leave; staring at emails, navigating funding deadlines, and publication timelines that wait for no one. If you're planning parental leave or recently returned, I offer coaching packages designed specifically for academics. DM to discuss.

Most planning advice for academics is time management in disguise. It is not made for us and it doesn't work. Join my free workshop, to plan your academic year. Let's get those things done that keep sinking to the bottom of your to-do list. Link below.

What do you need to say no to so you can keep saying yes to what matters? Sleep? Your research? Time with your family? Those aren't negotiable. Everything else is. Download my new workbook (link in comments) to understand why your boundaries keep failing, and what you can do instead.

That voice telling you "just one more hour of work" will never be satisfied no matter how much you give. The first person you need to learn to say no to is yourself. Book a call to get started: https://www.rfr.bz/bd56d10da

"I haven't taken a weekend off in months." We tell ourselves next week, month, semester will be different. But what we don't say out loud is that this job isn't designed for breathing space. Can you remember the last time you felt rested?

"Just knowing you are there has been helpful." Not every session. Not weekly check-ins. Just having someone who knows your situation and doesn't need briefing from scratch. Academia has plenty of colleagues. Not many spaces to think without it feeling risky.

The ladder gets harder as you climb. More responsibility. More demands. More unpaid overtime. What if the question isn't 'how do I progress without breaking?' What if it's 'do I want where this is taking me?' If you're asking that question, DM me. I can help you work it out.
