MAKEOVER
Achieve your goals minus the hustle and burnout in this 16-week personalized faculty coaching program
IS YOUR WORKLOAD OUT OF CONTROL?
You're not alone.
There is always more work than time in academia, leading to lots of stressed-out faculty.
And the pressure is even higher if you're
- Caring for children and/or elderly family members
- Buried under the weight of heavy service commitments
- A woman of color or other marginalized faculty
- Doing work that challenges systems of oppression
No wonder so many of us are working longer and longer hours to the detriment of our relationships and well-being.
one with more freedom, flexibility, and the type of work-life harmony you'd started to believe was unattainable in academe.
What you can expect...
Fierce focus on the important areas of your life, including those beyond work like your well-being and relationships.
Time freedom so you can finally have enough space for deep work, connection, and self-care in your daily life.
Mindset for success that disrupts those sticky internalized beliefs slowing you down or keeping you stuck.
Massive momentum toward achieving your goals in sustainable, healthy ways that align with your values.
"[WellAcademic] helped me change unhelpful habits, articulate and deepen into the values that support all of the work I do, gain self-confidence and self-compassion, and find a healthier and more joyful approach to work in general."
Andrea Harris, PhD
Associate Professor and Chair, University of Wisconsin-Madison
How Makeover works...
Week 0
Complete our in-depth questionnaire to figure out where you are compared to where you want to be in the important areas of your life.
Week 1
In your kickoff session, you and your coach use the questionnaire data to determine the most impactful goals to focus on in your work together.
This is where the magic happens. You work with your coach to implement culturally responsive practices and systems that propel you toward the work-life you crave.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is Makeover different from other coaching programs I've seen?
Here are three differences our clients rave about:
(1) Makeover gives you exactly what you need to design a kick-butt work-life. This high level of personalization is miles apart from one-size-fits-all group programs.
(2) All our Makeover coaches are tenured women of color faculty - 3 are full professors - so we're clear about the challenges you're facing.
(3) We're obsessed with offering culturally responsive practices backed by psychological and behavioral research.
Do you have experience helping faculty in [insert your discipline/university type]?
We have coached faculty from fields as diverse as psychology, history, dance, biology, and nursing, from research to comprehensive universities.
Do you only work with women of color?
No. But we're not for everyone. By design. We work best with faculty who seek sustainable, healthy progress (over productivity-at-all-cost approaches); and whole-person support that engages your work, well-being, and cultural identities (e.g., gender, race, sexuality, and nationality).
Do I have to talk to Roxanne before signing up?
Yes. We want you to have the best coaching experience possible. So, making sure WellAcademic is a good fit for what you seek is vital to us. And in case you're wondering, these conversations are super casual with NO awkward high-pressure salesy talk. Pinky swear.
