Join us for two transformational days where we pull back the curtain on the real lessons, strategies, and mindset shifts that have been shared with 1000+ PhD students to see them finish stronger, faster, and with more joy.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just curious about how other PhD students actually make it work â this event is for you.
Â
Over two focused days, you'll learn:
âď¸ Proven tools, strategies, and mindset shifts to make your PhD journey smoother, smarter, and far less stressful.
âď¸ Creative ways to unlock your natural problem-solving abilities, beat imposter syndrome, and push through the toughest research blocks.
âď¸ Actionable hacks to boost productivity and focus â so you can get more done in less time (and with less burnout).
âď¸ A fresh approach to goal-setting that goes beyond rigid âSMARTâ goals â helping you stay motivated, inspired, and adaptable through the ups and downs.
âď¸ Practical wisdom for handling difficult people, feedback, and academic politics, while staying true to your values, vision, and big-picture dreams.
This is not theory â it's lived experience, tested methods, and insights from a team that has supported thousands of students through every challenge imaginable.Â
Mark your calendars for October 29-30Â and take the next step toward a simpler, more successful PhD.
