This is what the participants of the course are saying

I have experienced a huge progress in the past two months in terms of writing. I wrote the results section of one paper, did the editing of another. Progress also refers to my mindset, I am better able to focus on my PhD tasks. This course has changed many areas in my life and I am very grateful for the support from Olga. ~Jacqueline Bos, PhD student from the Wageningen University in the Netherlands

I learned from Olga’s lessons that I was already good enough without always having to show good progresses at my work, and her lessons helped me to see that I am valuable. Following the practical ways she shared, I gradually was able to build muscles in my thoughts and emotions that keep optimistic point of views. I could manage the pressure better, and now I can separate my self-esteem from work. For the past 8 weeks, I structured my thesis, and submitted a conference paper. Also, I made a step to start looking for jobs by giving myself a specific time on the weekend not just thinking about it. Thanks Olga for putting together such a great program! ~ Andy Park, PhD student in Electrical Engineering at Purdue University, USA

From Day One of the course Olga’s advice helped me to think differently about how to approach my thesis and gave me concrete strategies for managing my time and workload. I began to think about my thesis in a more positive light and see the progress I was making on a weekly basis. Olga’s support and those of the other students on the course was really encouraging and helped me to keep moving forward. During the course I had completed preliminary analysis and figures for all my data, created a detailed thesis outline and over 100 pages of draft content. From starting with nothing at the beginning of the course I ended with something that looked like a thesis. ~ Kirsty Hughes, PhD student at University of York/SRUC (Scottish Rural College)
