"Before I started working with you, I knew I wanted to be a coach. I had developed an identity as a psychologist, but wanted to expand my practice into coaching. However, I felt unfocused, lost and confused about how to actually make it happen as the differences between running a therapy practice and a coaching practice quickly emerged. Working with you has helped me develop a direction for my coaching practice, providing me with concrete actions and suggestions that have accelerated the growth of my business. Perhaps most importantly, though, you helped me transform my professional identity from that of an experienced therapist to that of a skilled Coach!"
--- Anita Marchesani, Ph.D., Life Coach
"We began dissertation coaching together on July 25, 2001. I defended my paper on June 19, 2002. You were right- I "got it done" in less than a year. I couldn't have done it without you. I have already recommended you to my friends. Thanks, again."
--- Michael Thurston, Ph.D.
"Thanks for writing "Get it Done!" I found the book to be extremely helpful in moving me from dissertation desperation to hope in actually completing this project. The tips you offer are all timely and relevant...I expect the book to be quite tattered by the time I'm finished...In a small package, you have made a huge difference in my work! Thank you!"

"I wanted to coach with you after hearing a presentation you gave on well-being through job loss. Under your guidance, and with your support, I went from being laid off and stressed out to creating a really great new job-- one where my boss appreciates me, I make more money, and have time to have a life. Thanks for helping me learn how to work myself happy. My life is completely changed."

"The group dissertation coaching experience has been invaluable to me in many many ways! Having a supportive group of people to be accountable to each week has helped me stay on track with my goals, even on those days I get sidetracked. The added ability to get email support in-between also has helped keep me motivated. I especially like the focus Rachna has on taking care of ourselves through this process! It's so easy to get burned out, otherwise. Being part of a group helps me to realize that my fears and anxieties about the dissertation process are not unusual and further, can be overcome. Rachna gives us concrete ways of dealing with virtually any issue we may be facing around the Ph.D. process. Also, while she focuses on our individual goals and challenges in a conference call, we can additionally benefit greatly from the ideas and support she gives to the others in the group. I take extensive notes during each call and have learned a GREAT deal about specific ways to address any challenge. I feel HAPPIER about the dissertation process as a result of participating in this group. I can't say enough about it. I have learned new ways of managing my goals, challenges, and especially how to take care of myself during the often taxing process of obtaining a Ph.D. Thanks so much Rachna!!!!!"
--- Ann Brewster, ABD, University of North Carolina
