Communication – Coaching – Workshops
About the formats:
My input is always interactive, tailored to the individual needs of my clients, and designed to immediately flow into current research projects. The number of participants is limited to ten to ensure that everyone has ample opportunity to actively participate and receive whatever support they need. After successfully completing a workshop, participants receive a certificate. All services are offered in English and German.
Communication
All communication services for English or German academic contributions is done through a combination of phone calls, video conferences and/or face-to-face meetings and email exchanges.
We start with a brief conversation to determine exactly what you need, how I can support you, your timeline, and how much work I estimate it will take. Next, we arrange step-by-step meetings and work steadily towards maximum clarity and ensuring that your contribution has the greatest possible persuasive power.
For English articles and presentations, I also ensure they meet Anglo-Saxon academic style requirements.
All my suggested changes are immediately visible to you thanks to the “Track changes” setting so that you can easily accept or reject them. I mark comprehension questions using the comment function, and I always provide explanations for any difficulties in understanding. We can go through all my markings and look for solutions together if necessary.
I offer a free, no-obligation editing session. You are welcome to send a short excerpt so that you can see how I work. If you like it, the first part of your article will already be edited.
It goes without saying that I will treat all topics, content, and materials provided by you confidentially.
Coaching
I offer coaching through individual sessions or whole-day events, beginning with a free preliminary assessment meeting. During this meeting, we will determine your specific needs, timeline, and preference for English or German.
Based on your responses, I will develop a detailed milestone plan for you and estimate the number of required meetings. We can either meet in person, virtually, or via email, depending on your preferences and schedule.
All provided topics, content, and materials will be kept confidential.
Workshops
My workshop input is always interactive, tailored specifically to your needs, and offers plenty of room for individual questions. Workshops are limited to a maximum of ten particpants. On the first day, all relevant content is conveyed and supplemented with short exercise sequences from various disciplines.
On the second day, participants are given ample opportunity to apply the content covered on the first day to their own work, be it texts or presentations.
We do this in the form of a focused mini-retreat, where everyone receives constructive feedback from me, through peer coaching, and through the “Talk Your Science” exercise.
I also offer short one-on-one coaching sessions to discuss and clarify individual writing and narrative issues (e.g. general insecurities, writing problems in connection with dyslexia, ADHD, etc.) in greater depth.
Workshops for PhD students
If the workshops are for PhD students, they will receive a short PhD mentoring session with me concerning any aspect of the PhD process and examinations.
The group size is limited to a maximum of ten people, which ensures intensive work with all participants and allows to comprehensively address individual questions and needs.
The workshops, which can be held in English or German, are designed as one-, two- or three-day events and can be held in person, online or in a combination of input video and virtual meetings.
After successful participation in the workshops, all participants receive a certificate.
