Kellee Weinhold is the TPII expert in charge of live Skype Interview Interventions, Job Talk Interventions, Campus Visit Interventions, the UNSTUCK writing coaching program, and technology.
It’s that time in the Academic Life Cycle when attention turns from cover letters and research statements to productivity and all its attendant anxieties: Why do I procrastinate? What should I work on first to move myself forward? How do I manage all of the other demands on my time and still get my work published? What do I do when I simply cannot make myself sit down and write?
To help you answer those questions, we are introducing several new opportunities for you to get face-to-face answers and support. We get a lot of requests for one-on-one coaching. Last year, we responded to the demand for writing support with UNSTUCK: From Stalled to Submitted: A 12 week course that was ostensibly designed to walk clients through the writing and submission of a journal article. In reality, while participants worked on everything from dissertation chapters to journal articles to tenure documents to book chapters, what they really tackled was their own procrastination and isolation.
Here is a brief testimonial from last summer’s session:
“UNSTUCK completely rewired my physical and emotional approach to writing. It taught me how to set-up an everyday practice that in the long-term will allow me to reach my writing goals without the guilt and drama that used to surround writing for me, and this in itself is a miracle. It is the single best investment I could have made to teach myself the tools I need to attain tenure.”
To build on the success of UNSTUCK, starting immediately, I will be offering one-on-one coaching with everything from one-time strategy sessions to ongoing intensive support.
