Who is a dissertation coach?

You can consider your dissertation coach as a personal trainer who helps you:

• Identify various stages of your dissertation and guides you through each
  
• Set short and long term goals
• Manage your time
• Maintain your motivation and energy levels
• Manage you emotions
• Retain your focus
• Keep consistent pace of progress
• Resolve your academic or non-academic problems that 
  may hinder your completion path
• Defeat procrastination and writer's block
• Maintain your professional relationship with your mentor
  and committee
• Track your progress on a routine basis

Although a dissertation coach can be engaged at any phase of the dissertation process, early engagement is most beneficial as it saves time and energy by planning ahead.  Price for hiring a dissertation coach varies by your needs.  You can acquire services by a project or procure blocks of time and use your procured time only as frequently as you require.
