Self-paced courses

These courses offer support and specific techniques to help with some of the most common issues that PhD students and academics face. There is the flagship "Be Your Own Best Boss" programme, which helps you understand how to manage yourself, your time, and your tasks effectively and compassionately, as well as a series of shorter courses.

These courses are ideal if you're looking for quick, affordable solutions and you're happy to guide yourself through the materials without live coaching.

If you are a PhD student and you'd prefer to have access to live coaching, check out The PhD Life Coach membership - you'll get these courses for free!
