Are PhD career coaches worth the money??


In this week's podcast episode, I'm joined by fabulous PhD career coaches Victoria (Tory) Wobber, PhD, CPCC and Jennifer Polk, PhD to answer this very question.


Rather than just saying "yes" and patting ourselves on the back, we share insights into our own experiences working with coaches and clients and give some tips on when and how you might go about choosing a coach to work with.


šŸŽƒ Jen shares her own journey from academia into coaching

šŸŽƒ I talk about how my childhood affected my own money mindset

šŸŽƒ Tory explains how a talented coach can help you feel good about yourself and your job search so you don't end up mired in self-doubt


Tune in for this info and other spicy snippets, and keep your eyes peeled for more videos from these lovely post-ac coaches! 🤩


Happy Halloween! šŸ‘»


Learn from PhD Career Coaches Tory Wobber (Academic Exit) and Jen Polk (From PhD to Life) in conversation with PhD Business Coach Paulina Cossette (Acadia Editing) about whether and when coaches are worth the money.
