An Actionable Roadmap
Planning a complex academic project? Whether you’re designing a multi-phase research study, mapping out a book manuscript, or preparing a major grant proposal, having a clear roadmap from the start can make the difference between smooth execution and constant stress.
During this focused planning intensive, we’ll work together to break down your project into clear, manageable components and create a strategic plan for successful completion.
What you'll get
- 3-hour coaching session to plan your project
- Comprehensive project breakdown with clear milestones
- Detailed action plans and timelines
- Strategies for tracking progress and adjusting course
- Session recording and brief notes in private coaching portal
- 30 days of follow-up support via email/Telegram
This Planning Intensive is Perfect for You If You…
- Have a complex project ahead that needs careful milestone planning (like a multi-phase research study, book manuscript, or grant proposal)
- Want to ensure you’ve mapped out all critical components before diving in
- Prefer focused, strategic planning time with expert guidance rather than figuring it out as you go
- Are ready to implement once you have a clear plan, but want confidence you’re not missing anything important
- Value having a complete roadmap to guide your project execution
This May Not Be the Best Fit If You…
- Are still deciding between multiple possible projects
- Need ongoing implementation support throughout your project (consider the Faculty Success Circle or Faculty Productivity Pathfinder instead)
- Are looking for help with daily/weekly task management (the Easy as PIE system might be a better fit)

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from ongoing productivity coaching?
Ongoing coaching provides regular meetings over several weeks or moths. The Planning Intensive focuses specifically on creating a comprehensive project roadmap in one focused session. It’s perfect when you need strategic planning support but feel confident about implementation.
How much time should I set aside for this?
Plan for a 3-hour focused planning session. After the intensive, plan to spend additional time (an hour or so) reviewing and fine tuning your plan.
What types of projects work best for this format?
This intensive works best for complex, time-bound projects like research studies, book manuscripts, or grant proposals. If you’re unsure whether your project is a good fit, schedule a consultation call and we can discuss your specific needs.
What happens during the 30 days of follow-up support?
You’ll have access to email/Telegram support for questions about implementing your plan, adjusting timelines, or handling unexpected challenges.
Can I get my institution to pay for this?
Yes! Many faculty use professional development funds or grant budgets to cover this type of strategic planning support. I can provide documentation suitable for institutional reimbursement.
What if I need more support after the 30 days?
While many faculty successfully implement their projects with just the initial planning and 30-day support, you can always add on Faculty Success Circle membership or schedule additional coaching if you find you need more support.
I have another question…
