How to become an academic coach: What you need to know (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500443238)

Mary Beth Averill, PhD, lives and works in Eugene Oregon. She's been coaching writers for over 25 years, and specializes in working with academic writers. As a life and writing coach, she offers support through both individual sessions, and weekly groups for ABD students and for faculty who would like to get articles finalized and submitted or books written. With a doctorate in Biology from the University of Oregon and a MSW several years later, Mary Beth has been an academic writer since the late 1960s herself. Hillary Hutchinson, MA (social anthropology) and MEd (higher education administration), lives and works in Charleston, SC. She helps overwhelmed professors who need to pull it all together and enjoy their academic life. This includes working individually with academics at all stages of their careers to transition to the next phase on a well-defined career path, and also with those academics that want to transition out of academia. She offers teleclasses and workshops on writing and effective communication, emotional intelligence, confidence building, coping with stress, handling change with resilience, getting organized for productivity, visioning and goal-setting, and how to get your writing done.
