Specialist Research Training, Coaching and Mentoring for PhD scholars and early career researchers.

You've likely experienced, in some form or other, a successful mentoring relationship. Perhaps it was an older sibling who took you under their wing, a teacher at school who helped guide your career or a more experienced colleague at work who showed you the ropes. Zacharia Ebrahimi, the founder of Skills Academia, holds a PhD in Work Psychology and Management from Central Queensland University, Australia. He also received a Master's scholarship to develop a National Coaching Guideline and Framework in Australia and holds two Masters degrees and several accreditations in organisational psychology, behavioural science, management, leadership, and business research.

He has taught at various private and public colleges and universities in Australia in subjects ranging from Organisational Behaviour, Consumer Behaviour, Change Management to Performance Management and Business Research and has acted as a research coach for students, guiding them through the process of formulating a topic, conducting appropriate research, setting goals, and producing a written product.

As a learning and teaching specialist and research training consultant, he has worked with graduate students and academics at various stages of their careers, providing feedback and assistance on everything from thesis proposals to articles or dissertation chapters to post-PhD life and career development beyond the world of academia.

Our PhD Coaching and Research Training offer one-to-one coaching and group workshops to help PhD students with a range of issues, from the general stresses that arise while completing a PhD to more specific challenges that a student may be confronting. Training is available on qualitative and quantitative data analysis and career development strategies within and beyond academia. Coaching is a confidential process that allows you to speak to someone from outside of your academic department.

Olympic athletes have coaches. Why? These athletes are stellar, but a coach provides challenge and support to push their performance to the next level. Similarly, Academic Coaching at Skills Academia helps students improve their performance. Coaching can be helpful for both high performing and underperforming students. Students appreciate the dedicated time spent each week or every fortnight discussing academics and goal setting with a professional who can provide comprehensive and constructive feedback and coaching support.

For transitioning students, the new school, college or university environment comes with its own set of challenges. It’s like going from playing Monopoly to Risk. Students have to learn a new set of academic rules and strategies to “win the game”; strategies that professional academic coaches help students hone. Academic Coaching at Skills Academia uses a strength-based approach. We focus on what students are already good at and capitalise on those skills. Through motivational interviewing, open-ended questions, and a personalised, holistic approach, we support students as they navigate the school, college or university environment. As students have different strengths and challenges, topics discussed in consultations will vary. Common subjects talked about in Academic Coaching consultations include, but are not limited to:

• Study Skills
• Time Management
• Goal Setting
• Learning Strategies
• Test and Presentation Anxiety
• Health & Wellbeing
• Navigating Work-Study Life
• Self-Advocacy
• Community Involvement & Career Advancement Opportunities
• Transition into and out of TAFE, College, University

Academic coaching consultations are a space to reflect on your current habits and past experiences to create goals and action plans to be a successful student.

We specialise in working with students and professionals in various fields at all career levels, including Managers, Executives, Academics, Students, Solo-entrepreneurs / Small Business Owners looking for balance, stability or transition and advancement in their careers/business. Students, recent graduates and professionals who are in the process of a career change or those re-entering the workforce can benefit from a combined career and business coaching programme, which will help them establish professional goals, create a plan and overcome obstacles that may be in the way.
