Testimonials from Participants - 

How did the Writing Retreat go? 

  • “Working 1:1 with Betsy was a gold mine for me… she is so positive and not judgy… a critical and positive eye for me was essential that I haven’t had before.”
  • “I do love the way you adapted your approach for each individual.”
  • “I was tired but also exhilarated at the end of the weekend. I felt excited about the state of the project I came to work on, but even more excited about my next steps/goals moving forward.”
  • “A sincere thank you for the fellowship, coaching, and time spent in a beautiful place.”

So let's talk about the Location:

This is an intimate setting with a very small group so we can work without distraction, take breaks to have meaningful and fun conversations and bond and I can do all the 1:1 coaching you need.

I am inviting you to my beach house in Oak Island, NC where you will have an ocean view, a zillion different comfy places to sit and write (okay, maybe not a zillion), a great location for a long walk on the beach to clear your mind, and in October – the perfect weather for a gorgeous swim in the ocean.

 

  • "Such a gem of a location! You picking us up at the airport personally is such a generous touch and added to the coaching atmosphere!"
  • "The ability to have a few personalized items made the kitchen approachable, and the bed was so comfy!"
  • “Comfy, welcoming; definitely hygge.”
  • “Lovely, I honestly slept better at your home than at my own home!”

Your Favorites - 

While you're going to be head down, writing away...

 

We will make sure you have not only a beautiful and comfy space, but also lots of yummy food and drinks, including your favorites, all there to support you. 

 

  • “Delish. Lots of options from healthy to a few sugary pick me ups.”
  • “Perfect. It was smart to ask folks’ preferences ahead of time.”“So great to have meals together; super delicious!”
  • “Appreciate the red wine and kurig teas”
  • “I appreciated the survey you sent out – you made a personalized touch in the extras and so appreciated!”
  • “Wonderful – loved all the fresh veggies and the flexibility for lunch… and also thought there were just enough sweets to not tempt me too much but keep my sweet tooth satisfied!”
  • “Lots of choices. Great coffee, great wine.”

Okay - I'm interested,

I want to learn more, now what??

Coaching with Dr. Betsy

................

Let's start with a simple conversation. I will focus on listening to YOU - a mini-coaching session.

Why does this retreat interest you?

What projects are on your mind?

What is sitting on your computer that you would be SO happy to submit?

Why haven't you gotten it across the finish line?

Do you just need dedicated time with no distractions? CHECK!

Or perhaps you are like SO many other women - too busy AND procrastinating. This one never bubbles to the top of your list - but you're not sure why. That's where I come in - helping you discover the block and get through it. You need a Coach! CHECK!!

Maybe you're not sure WHICH project is more important for promotion and could use some guidance from someone who REALLY understands academic publishing and the promotion process. CHECK!!!

We can meet and discuss all of this and if feels like a great fit to work through the blocks, get clarity on which projects to finish first, and guidance on the next step and each step after that - well, then let's sign you up!
