Who is Professor Xavier and how can he help me?
Posted on March 22, 2013 by Dr Xavier V Bruce, One of Thousands of Performance Coaches on Noomii.
You've just met your match!
Who do I coach? Post-graduate students who are struggling in the dissertation phase of their doctorate program. You may be:
Frustrated with the inconsistent feedback that you’re receiving from professors;
Confused on which topic, methodology, data collection tool, or data analysis technique to use;
Mentally, emotionally, and spiritually drained by your life circumstances to the point that you’re thinking about quitting your pursuit to become a doctor.
What do I coach? I coach students on lessons learned and best practices that they may find helpful in their dissertation process. When inner blocks to success are evident, I coach around limiting beliefs, interpretations, assumptions, and the inner critics that whispers to the student, “You don’t have what it takes to finish your dissertation”.
When do I coach? Weekday evenings and weekend mornings.
Where do I coach? Primarily by teleconference by which the student may access via telephone, cell phone, or computer.
Why do I coach? To align my inner passion and purpose to my outer goal and dream of helping others achieve the highest level of education, which will ultimately enhance their quality of life as it did mine.
How do I coach? By following the students agenda and asking the right question at the right time in the right way to elicit a forward-thinking, solution-focused response.
Our program is designed to assist students in the dissertation process. We will coach around the inner blocks and influences that are keeping you from you achieving success during this academic milestone. Not only will you receive coaching on how to align your passion and purpose with your dissertation, we will also help prepare you to to orally defending your dissertation. We will coach the student in S.W.I.M. lessons (speech, writing, information technology, and math).
The Webster dictionary defines swim as “a smooth, gliding motion." Swim also means “to surmount difficulties, not go under". We will use proven and research-based material to improve the skill level of the student. When you attend every session and complete the program, you will achieve extraordinary and sustainable results. Our S.W.I.M. program is designed to assist students in surmounting difficulties for a smoother academic experience.
The academic coaching sessions will help our teammates identify and remove barriers to facilitate achievement of scholarly goals. We provide our teammates with innovative S.W.I.M. lessons:
