What is the goal of the VIP Strategy Session?
Our goal is to help you develop a clear vision for your career (and research program, if applicable), tackle any pressing challenges, and set actionable steps to achieve your goals. Each session is tailored specifically to you, based on a pre-session self-evaluation that ensures we address your unique needs.
How is the session structured?
Each session is 3 hours long and includes reflections, discussions, and exercises to facilitate your goals. Each strategy session follows its own unique agenda based on the pre-session self-evalation step. Your session will include a deep dive into your short- and long-term goals, a personalized needs assessment, and the development of a short-term (90-day) strategic plan to help you prioritize your priorities, but each of these will be laser-focused on your specific context.
How do I reserve my spot?
To secure your session, we require a $500 deposit. This deposit holds your spot and ensures that we can prepare a tailored agenda that addresses your specific career aspirations and challenges. Once we receive your deposit, we’ll send you a scheduling link.
Is there a particular audience these sessions are best suited for?
These sessions are truly powerful and relevant for anyone who wants to achieve their goals. That said, they’re designed for STEM and health research professionals who are committed to advancing their careers, whether they’re focused on securing funding, building a sustainable research program, planning for promotion, or something else. This is ideal if you’re looking for targeted, actionable guidance to overcome specific roadblocks and make real progress. The session is also for you if you could benefit from having an advocate and expert who can help you gain perspective and who has your best interests in mind.
Who is this NOT for?
This session is not for you if you prefer approaching each day without a plan for how your efforts fit in the bigger picture. It’s also not for you if you are 100% self-motivated and never encounter obstacles or challenges.
If you’re looking for ongoing coaching support or a long-term mentorship relationship, our other programs may be a better fit. This session is a one-time intensive designed to give you a jumpstart, though it can also work well as a complement to ongoing coaching.
How much does it cost?
Pricing information and session details can be found here. Our single-session and package options allow flexibility based on your needs.
How do I pay?
A deposit is paid by credit (P-card)/debit card via our secure site. We will invoice you for the balance due within 7 days of the session, and payment can be made by P-card or by purchase order, based on your preferences and organizational requirements.
I’d like to buy the 3-session package; how will I schedule sessions for later in the year?
You can book your first session, and then work with your coach to identify when to schedule the next sessions.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward an impactful, productive, energizing career, reserve your session today.
