COACH

”Pardis takes a tough situation and turns it into an opportunity to creatively be in collaboration and community’”

- Dr. Scott Brooks, Director, Global Sport Institute, ASU

As an experienced academic, author, and leader in education, I can help you navigate the complex quagmires of higher education. Whether you are a faculty member looking to level up your research, writing, or public impact, a writer looking to develop your story, or a student seeking guidance on the college application and admissions process, I can help you avoid burnout, achieve your goals, and maximize your potential

  • As a faculty coach, I can help professors, researchers and teachers to achieve a variety of goals including: 

    • Career advancement

    We will work together to set goals for career advancement, such as leadership roles, teaching, research, and work-life balance. 

    • Productivity

    I will help you improve your writing process and time management to increase productivity. 

    • Research

    I can identify research opportunities, grants, foundations and also assist in preparing research papers for conferences and manuscripts for publication. 

    • Leadership skills

    I will work with you to develop leadership skills, such as delegation, communication, and consensus-building. 

    • Social identity

    I can help you understand how your social identities can impact your experiences and the experiences of the department, school, university, or research group. 

    • Academic norms

    I will facilitate learning how to work effectively within the expectations of academia. 

    • Burnout

    I can help you avoid burnout, which can lead to stalled career advancement. 

  • As a writing coach I can help you improve your writing skills and achieve your writing goals. We can work together at any stage of the writing project, from brainstorming to editing and publishing. I will help you identify and overcome your fears, and figure out why you're stuck.  Our work together will include help with:

    • Writing craft: Provide in-depth analysis of your structure, scenes, and prose and offer a series of writing ‘hacks’ to craft the perfect toolbox

    • Time management: assist in finding time in your schedules to write and create a writing routine 

    • Writer's block: learning to overcome writer's block and fight self-doubt and impostor syndrome 

    • Authenticity: finding your voice, being authentic and effective in your writing 

    • Developmental editing: helping hone in on the manuscript, crafting an outline, and working on sample chapters

    • The Publishing Process: walking you through the process of identifying publishing outlets, agents (if appropriate), drafting query letters, and putting together a ‘pitch package’

    • Draft editing: conceptual and line edits of your draft at various stages

  • With over twenty-five years of experience in higher education serving in a number of leadership roles at some of the best colleges and universities in the country, I offer coaching for your student to assist in the college application and admission process. I can also work with them one-on-one to identify and improve their academic skills, study habits, and goal-setting strategies, helping them achieve their academic potential by addressing barriers and developing effective learning techniques.  

    Our work together will help with:

    • Goal-setting: identifying clear academic and life trajectory goals while developing plans to achieve them

    • Skill development: focus on improving skills like time management, organization, note-taking, test preparation, writing for success, and critical thinking. 

    • Self-reflection: encourage students to identify their strengths, weaknesses, and learning barriers to develop effective strategies.

    • College application process: map out colleges and universities best aligned with their goals and develop a roadmap for success

    The goal is to equip your students with the tools and confidence to manage their academic journey independently while also providing insights and guidance to achieve their educational goals.
