THIS CAN BE YOU!
“…I was struggling with being organized and making the best use of the limited time I had… [M]y doctoral pursuit was being negatively impacted.  As a result of [working with Dr. Smith], I have been able to be more efficient during my study time, plan my dissertation project, and have an effective plan for the completion of my dissertation. Becoming Dr. Wilson has come in to focus more clearly after working with Dr. Smith.”

Rev. Tamla Wilson, D.Min.


 “…I can say without the slightest tint of resignation that Dr. Shanell Smith’s impact on my orientation towards the scholarly vocation is singular... [I]t is her ability to challenge graduate students to seek a holistic, integrated approach to our profession that makes her a singular influence upon my life… Because of Dr. Smith’s advice, I have maintained an integrated philosophy of the scholarly vocation which, in turn, has allowed me to function more productively as a graduate student precisely because I am able to pursue my goals within a family that has claimed peace as our principle portion. Oftentimes, I find myself wondering aloud where my career and family would be if Dr. Smith never took the time to pour into a nervous and self-doubting first generation Black grad student. Thanks be to God, I guess we’ll never know.

James Howard Hill, Jr., PhD
“...I was struggling with managing communication with my committee members, feeling vulnerable and insecure about my ability to succeed as a doctoral student. Symptoms of imposter syndrome had resurfaced in my doctoral journey... As a result of [working with Dr. Smith], I have been able to make significant progress during the pandemic while working a full-time job from home...with an infant. I recommend Dr. Shanell T Smith’s coaching services for anyone who wants to make strides, regain control, and finish sooner! Dr. Smith will empower you and give you the tools and strategies you need to be successful and reach your goals.” 

Nicole E. Smith, Ph.D.


“Before I worked with Dr. Smith, I didn't know how to think about a dissertation--what it should look like, how to plan it out, etc... As a result of our coaching sessions, I've been able to frame up what needs to be done in a tidy fashion that gets me on the road to finishing my program as soon as possible. I unreservedly recommend Dr. Smith for anyone who wants great advice and encouragement in charting the course of their next steps in their doctoral program.”
