QUANG FINISHED HIS PHD AND IS NOW A FACULTY MEMBER

"After joining the program I realized that there were others having the same problem.  I am not the only one…I also learned a lot about energy management. That was one of the most distinguishing features in the program. Now I am on the other side of advising PhD students, and I understand what are the common concerns of PhD students, so I am becoming more proactive in being a good supervisor. My advice about Dora’s program, is that give it a try,  and you will be surrounded by peers, and you’ll make way to finish your PhD faster.”

-QUANG EVANSLUONG, PHD, SENIOR LECTURER IN ENTREPRENUERUSHIP AT THE UMEÅ SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, ECONOMICS AND STATISTIC (USBE), UMEÅ UNIVERSITY

SHANNON FINISHED HER DISSERTATION THANKS TO DAILY ACCOUNTABILITY

"I was super happy that I joined the program because it gave me exactly what I needed. It helped me to structure my time, not beat myself up and build more confidence. The program helped me realize that I was not the only one feeling the way I did, and this allowed me to move on when I felt stuck. You have the support of other people and when all those doubts pop in your head you can still make forward motion. Just do it, you will be done and relieved."

Who knew that a mere 6-month delay in finishing your dissertation could cost you a dragon's hoard of tens of thousands of dollars in lost income!

Don't let life zoom by while you're stuck writing your Dissertation...

50% of doctoral students never finish their Dissertations. Some of my peers dropped out after investing over 5 years and their life savings into graduate school. These students missed out on job opportunities, piled on thousands of dollars of debt, and experienced strain in their personal relationships because they didn't know how to finish writing their Dissertations. I made a promise to myself that if I finished my dissertation I would make it my mission to teach others how to do the same. 

This is how the idea for "The Dissertation Writing Workshop" was born.

DERYA FELT STUCK AND FINISHED HER DISSERTATION IN JUST 4 MONTHS

"I didn't know how to start writing, organize data, and put everything in the same format. Just 4 months after joining the program I submitted my thesis, so it really helped me to gain momentum and to focus on the writing. What we need is to get some support, some push to write things down and once you start, it just continues and ideas just come through the writing."

Success Stories From Our Graduates

"Dora is an excellent coach with a style that is compassionate as well as no-nonsense. Dora knows how to keep people accountable, but accountable for realistic goals, not the impossible demands we place on ourselves as researchers. Dora also has great advice about how to take care of your health before you turn into a burnt-out mess. (And if you’re a burnt-out mess, she can definitely help!)."

  • Jessamine Price
    -Jessamine Price, Writing Coach, Winner of Best Thesis Award, American University

"One of my fears before joining Dora's program was that I would not be able to graduate on time. I felt stressed and this led to lack of motivation. Joining the community helped me to see that I was not the only one struggling. After I started the program I became more productive and I learned to focus on the tasks that were helping me to finish my thesis."

  • Quang Evansluong
    -Quang Evansluong, PhD, Entrepreneurship, Jönköping University, Sweden

"As a PhD candidate in my final year, I have attended numerous workshops on procrastination, productivity, Writer's Block, and nothing seemed to stick. Dora's strategies are simple and they truly work. I have written more since participating in her program than I had in the six months before it."

"When I first learned about Dora's program I was not sure whether it was right for me. Now that I finished my Ph.D., I can only share my own excellent experience with Dora and the program. If you need help getting organized to get stuff done and could use not only helpful strategies, but also a supportive environment, this is the program for you. "

AVIV FINISHED HIS PH.D. THANKS TO PROJECT MANAGEMENT

"I really needed something to help me get unstuck and break things down and guide me through this process of "Dissertating." Academia can be really isolating and this program complements what you get in grad school. This program is great for people who need help managing projects and get to the end of the river."
