Dissertation Oral Defense Prep!

Get ready to confidently deliver your dissertation proposal or final defense in this flexible two-hour coaching experience. You’ll work one-on-one with an experienced dissertation mentor who knows what committees expect — and how to help you prepare, polish, and present your research with clarity and confidence.

Your two hours are yours to use however you prefer — from a focused two-hour “marathon” phone session to shorter coaching calls or even email-based feedback. We’ll tailor the time to your needs and learning style so you get the most out of every minute.

During your coaching, we’ll focus on the key elements that make a successful defense:

• Presentation Skills: Organize and deliver your findings clearly, refine your slides, and practice effective pacing.
• Anticipating Questions: Prepare for potential committee questions and develop confident, thoughtful responses.
• Confidence Building: Learn strategies to manage stress and project professionalism under pressure.
• Personalized Feedback: Receive detailed, constructive input on both your content and delivery style.

By the end of your session, you’ll feel ready, composed, and fully prepared to defend your work with confidence.
