This trainee coach would like your help with naming her blog
July 11, 2015 4:08 AM Subscribe
Reaching out to the hive mind to help me name my blog - I am doing a masters in coaching and mentoring and trying to carve out a niche for myself working with research students/researchers/academics - this is the bulk of my "clients" at the moment (in inverted commas as all of that is unpaid and part of the training). I really enjoy working with this group as an ex-academic myself and wanted to share some of that enthusiasm via a blog but can't come up with anything that sounds right. Help?! Some further requirements below.
So I'm training to be a coach and really enjoying working with academics/research students to help them unlock their potential, get more control of the research work, reclaim some joy of writing and in some cases, think of options outside of academia if this is what they want. The main issues that come up are around creativity, productivity and academic careers and this is what I'd like to blog about. I know there are a bunch of US blogs on precisely that topic but I'd be writing from a UK perspective which does make a difference. I'd also like to blog a bit about coaching itself and the things I'm learning on the course. Finally, I'm a keen ultra runner and some of the content would be around lessons learnt from running and applying them to coaching/research in general. So I know what I want to write about , I don't know what to call the blog to capture that mix of academia, coaching with a splash of running:) thought of "back on track coaching" but that sounds too sporty? Anyway, suggestions would be welcome!
