Why do I coach?
Applying to college/grad school, applying for an academic job, and going for promotion/tenure are some of the most important, high stakes decisions in a candidates career. Candidates need a coach, someone who has no stake in the outcome of their success. I have been through these processes and helped others be successful in each of these areas.
