While many of our clients are PhDs, we work with scientists at all levels of their careers, including undergraduates, postdocs, and industry professionals.
Our retreats are small, weekend-long events where scientists can work on professional development skills such as communication, networking, and job hunting. These events also provide the opportunity to connect with other scientists and build a supportive community.
Coaching can be helpful for scientists at any stage of their careers who are looking to clarify their goals, develop new skills, or navigate a difficult transition. Contact us to learn more about our coaching services and whether they might be a good fit for you.
