We asked our previous workshop participants what they liked about it and here's what they have to say...

The format/structure. The workshop was packed with helpful information, tips, strategies, opportunities to write and learn from panel members, and an invitation for additional coaching. The host (Amy) was engaging, lively, efficient, managed the time well, and created a fun and lively atmosphere. The team members were supportive and shared based on their own experiences.

Everything! I cannot say enough about how the workshop invigorated me and made me feel seen with my ADHD and the challenges it presents without making it an excuse. I couldn't wait to sign up for the program the minute you began talking about it Dr. Amy.

I liked that this workshop addressed things about not working on my thesis that gave me shame. I was amazed that many others felt the same way as I did and that they were having trouble finishing their thesis, too. Suddenly, I did not feel ashamed about not making progress, but I felt hopeful. The tools I was given to keep myself on track and finish my thesis were very empowering. Thank you!

Community, people in the same situation as me! (Shocked, seriously), support, talks from people who went through program successfully.

(October 2024 Workshop)

It was so approachable and made me understand how I can create a system of success. My most favorite part was when Amy talked about "the community" aspect of the program.

I loved how open and honest everyone was and how relatable Dr. Boyd and the other group leaders are. You are all very vulnerable in such a caring and motivating way. Also, it was free! You all provided so many wonderful tips and resources for zero cost - thank you so much.

Meredith L.

(June 2024 Workshop)

Everything! The supportive community, mental coaching, the POM sessions were very helpful, hearing from Dr. Laura and Dr. Minnie was essential. Most importantly the visualization exercise. I had tears (of happiness) in my eyes when we did the visualization exercise. Thank you so much for creating a space like this

I liked being in a group where the sole focus was writing the dissertation. It took me away from other obligatory thoughts, from fleeting thoughts, from everything else and helped me to focus on making progress.

Yazmyn s.

(June 2024 Workshop)

Lots of practical, common sense advice and I really like the 30-day plan template. As I neurodivergent scholar, I found so much of the templates you shared to be really useful and I'm grateful.

Katherine R.

(May 2024 Workshop)

It was engaging and motivating. I felt supported and empowered to continue the writing process.

Tracy L.

(October 2024 Workshop)

The kindness, care, and sense of community during the two days. It is well structured and even though it's free, I felt valued during the seminar. Thank you so much.
