Description:

Researcher Coaching Ltd provides specialist researcher development, executive coaching and professional development for researchers, academics, research leaders, supervisors and the people who support them.

 

Working with universities, doctoral training partnerships, research organisations and funders across the UK and internationally, Researcher Coaching creates practical, reflective development that helps people think more clearly, work more effectively and navigate the complex realities of research careers.

 

Programmes and coaching support people with challenges including career direction, leadership, confidence, productivity, procrastination, imposter phenomenon, communication, collaboration, supervision, workload, research project management and organisational change.

 

How can researcher development make a difference?

Researchers rarely need more generic advice. They need opportunities to make sense of their own situation, explore what is getting in the way, test new approaches and decide what they want to do next.

Researcher Coaching programmes are therefore designed to be active rather than instructional. Participants reflect, experiment, discuss, practise and apply ideas to their own work. The aim is not simply to leave people knowing more, but to help them use what they have learned.

 

Who is Researcher Coaching for?

Work spans the research career pathway, from doctoral researchers and postdoctoral researchers through to established academics, research leaders, supervisors and clinical academics. Researcher Coaching also works with researcher developers and organisations seeking to strengthen researcher development and positive research cultures.

 

Support can include individual executive coaching, group coaching, workshops, researcher-development programmes and bespoke organisational commissions.

 

Researcher Coaching Ltd is founded by Dr Katy R Mahoney, an accredited executive coach and researcher-development specialist with more than 20 years’ experience working in higher education and research environments. Katy has worked with researchers and research organisations across the UK and internationally and contributed to major sector initiatives including the refresh of the Vitae Researcher Development Framework.

 

Her approach is coaching-led, evidence-informed and grounded in the realities of research careers: creating space for people to reflect, recognise their strengths, challenge assumptions and take purposeful action."

Who Should Attend:

Researcher Coaching programmes are designed for people working across the research and academic career pathway, as well as those responsible for supporting and developing researchers.

They are particularly relevant for:

  • PhD and doctoral researchers looking to build confidence, manage procrastination, develop effective working habits, navigate supervision and make purposeful decisions about their future careers.
  • Postdoctoral and early career researchers developing their academic or research careers, managing competing priorities, strengthening communication and collaboration, or exploring career options inside and beyond academia.
  • Academics and research leaders seeking support with leadership, workload, decision-making, communication, confidence, change and the demands of working in complex research environments.
  • Research supervisors and principal investigators who want to strengthen their supervision, developmental conversations and ability to support researchers experiencing challenges such as imposter phenomenon, confidence or uncertainty.
  • Clinical academics and healthcare researchers balancing research with clinical practice, progressing through career transitions or developing confidence and leadership in demanding professional environments.
  • Researcher developers, doctoral training partnerships and research organisations seeking engaging, practical and evidence-informed professional development for their researcher communities.

Participants can expect more than information or advice. Sessions create opportunities to reflect on their own situation, explore challenges, recognise strengths, practise new approaches and identify practical actions they can take back into their work.

Programmes can support outcomes including increased confidence and self-awareness, clearer career and leadership decisions, improved communication and working relationships, more effective approaches to productivity and procrastination, and greater capacity to navigate change and complexity.
