I open a limited number of Game Plan Calls each week to ensure depth, focus, and genuine support.

If booking isn’t available, it means my calendar is currently full and will reopen soon.

This is for you if…

✔ You’re feeling stuck, scattered, or unsure how to move forward
✔ You have ideas, data, or drafts — but no clear structure or plan
✔ You want to finish your thesis with clarity (not panic)
✔ You’re unsure what level of support you actually need
✔ You want grounded guidance from someone who understands research deeply

This may not be the right fit if you’re looking for free advice, generic productivity tips, or a purely motivational chat.

What the Game Plan Call actually is:

The Game Plan Call is a paid, focused working session designed to bring clarity (not pressure).

During our time together, we work on your thesis, your goals, and your constraints.

This is practical, personalised, and grounded in real research experience.

Here’s exactly what we do during your Game Plan Call:

1. Clarify where you actually are
We identify your true research AND thesis stage—not where you think you “should” be—and surface what’s helping or quietly holding you back.

2. Build your personalised thesis plan and timeline
Your plan is built specifically for your project, discipline, and life constraints.
No generic templates. No one-size-fits-all advice.

3. Clarify your best next step
We look honestly at whether your next step is:

• independent implementation

•  community support

• or deeper mentoring

If CTS is a fit, I’ll outline what that could look like.
If not, you still leave with a plan you can act on immediately.

I’m not giving you a template.

I’m building your specific research and thesis Game Plan based on:

• your discipline and methodology

• your research stage

• your goals (submission, career, wellbeing)

• your capacity and constraints

You’ll walk away with:

✔ A clear snapshot of where you are in your thesis
✔ A mapped realistic plan for the next phase
✔ A timeline aligned to your desired submission or career goals
✔ Clarity on how to DIY or with deeper mentoring and support 
✔ Relief from finally seeing the path forward

Many students say this session alone saves them weeks (sometimes months!) of uncertainty.

What happens after the Game Plan Call?

If we both feel it’s a good fit, I may invite you to continue with CTS through community or mentoring support.

These start at $97 per month.

If we don’t feel it’s aligned, I won’t make an offer.

You may simply take your plan and move forward on your own.

Either way, there is no obligation beyond this session.

You decide.
