The Career Selection Edge

One-to-One Selectability Coaching for PhDs

Who is it for?

This is for you if

• you’ve been told “you’re nearly there” or you were the number two candidate more than once

• the feedback you receive is positive, but vague

• you have PhD and you are highly competent but you are not sure how to position yourself

• you are encountering prejudice and misconconceptions about PhDs

What results can I expect?

Clients typically leave this program with:

• Clearer positioning and direction

• An understanding of the barriers facing PhDs in industry and how to overcome them

• Improved visibility without self-promotion

• Greater confidence in promotion or hiring discussions

• A sense of control over how they are perceived

This is not about guaranteeing an outcome.
It’s about making selection more likely by design.

The Program

The program consists of four 90-Minute one-to-one sessions

Session 1: Positioning for a Role

What are you actually being considered for and how are you positioned today? In this session, we will:

• Clarify the role, level, or opportunity you’re aiming for

• Examine how decisions are really made in your context

• Identify the gap between how you see yourself and how others see you

Result:
You apply for the right roles and position yourself better

Session 2: Strengthening Your Value Offer

Why you and why now? In this session, we will:

• Clarify your distinctive value

• Identify where you’re under-signalling your contribution

• Strengthen your value offer so it aligns with organisational or market priorities

• Translate your knowledge and attributes into language that industry understands

Result:
Your contribution becomes easier for others to recognise and recommend.

Session 3: Proof, Perception & Trust

Reducing the risk of choosing you. In this session, we will:

• Identify what counts as credible evidence in your context

• Examine how existing perceptions of PhDs may be hindering you and how to overcome this

• Address unspoken doubts or assumptions

• Build trust signals that go beyond results alone

Result:
Decision-makers feel safer and more confident backing you.

Session 4: Telling Your Story

A narrative that decision-makers remember and repeat. In this session, we will:

• Craft a clear, credible and consistent professional narrative

Result:
Your story show who you really are and what you offer.
