The Student Success Coach

In this third episode of The Student Success Coach podcast I’m going to talk about the value you get from listening in each week. I ask the questions that you would love to ask. There's the phd student who had to rock her 6 month baby in her arms literally while she was typing up her thesis. There’s a graduate of oxford, an old colleague of mine you will see why oxford is the most prestigious university in the world. So I guarantee there is loads of value in each episode, as you learn firsthand from the stories of success, and the journeys through hard times, but always ending up having made progress, learnt lots and absolutely willing to share that journey and help other people, just like yourself.  

Then there is Pie Pacifique who fled the Rwandan genocide as a boy and ended up as a car guard in Durban where he tried to get into university and eventually became a Rhodes scholar. Stacey has 4 degrees from Wits University in Johannesburg, she has some incredibly wise words. One of my favourite questions that I ask these successful students is what they wish they knew earlier in their student journey. So if you get this kind of insight every week then you really can’t go wrong, you will absolutely be successful in your path. 

Episodes will release every Wednesday on your favourite podcast platform and underneath each episode you will see the show notes so you can take action and get cracking with whatever you have learnt in that episode.

My name is Peter Alkema, I live in Johannesburg South Africa with my wife and 5 children, a dog and a cat. I work in digital transformation for a large bank and in 2020 I finished a phd, but instead of doing another phd (which I did seriously consider), I thought I would put my time into helping other students be successful on their journey. My undergraduate degree was mechanical engineering – I always loved taking things apart and I remember going to an open day at the local university and hearing the engineering lecturers talk about what we would study.   

After completing my engineering bachelors degree I carried on with my masters straight away as I went into full time employment. I started my phd 4 years ago part time and finished that in 2020. After I finished my phd I thought I would package everything that I know and make it available to students, just like myself – everything I wished I had, I have made available through The Student Success Coach – courses, coaching and community! So in this episode I give you a bit of my background as a student and as a professional, I hope establishes some credibility and trust with me – I’m a real person that genuinely wants to help you!

The first three episodes will give you the introduction you need about the show, about myself and about the value you can get from becoming a regular listener. The podcast will give you an-indepth listening experience, you will hear from other students talking about their journey and the practical lessons they’ve learned along the way to become successful. You will hear from students working on Masters, Phds, MBAs, diplomas, academic research and business people who have studied further, and very often who are studying part time.

A podcast is a wonderful format because it’s a deeper experience and it doesn’t require you to look at anything on a device! So put your screen away, plug in your headphones in and join me each week on a journey of student success. When I interview people I really try and get into their thinking, their outlook on life and importantly, how they studied, what were those practical tips and tricks they learnt along the way. Each interview also gives us something unique, and I’ll drawn that out and ask the important questions so you get the maximum value.  I invite you to join me every week as we go into people’s stories, into real examples of student success and we walk their journey with them.

Each episode is 30-60 minutes so its great for driving to work or walking outside, even going for a run or when you are at the gym. Remember, I’m your online digital coach – helping you with everything you need – these podcasts are a platform for you to drive even more value and benefit out of our relationship, so take advantage, its my commitment to your success!!!
