Master your Academic Success
Discover your Best Degree Pathway + Career Vision
Secondary school students eagerly enter university expecting they will perform well academically, adjust socially, and successfully graduate. Similarly, higher education institutions expect the students they admit to have the capability to earn a degree. Yet reality often collides with these expectations. Last year some UK universities lost up to 32% of students in their first year.
Together we’ll select the right degree course or make a pivot in the right direction for you. Knowing your options, and understanding future pathways is so empowering, and can literally change your life:
About You …
- You care about your studies.
- You put in the work.
- You want to earn a degree.
…And yet, it feels like something’s missing.
You don’t have a clear direction into what you want to read at university, or where you’d like it to take you. Nothing is really lighting you up, or everything feels exciting, but which major do you choose?
You’d hate to “make the wrong next move,” but you’re even more scared of living life without getting answers. After all, your future career and happiness means a lot to you.
The System For you
Degree Pathway Clarity
You’re ready to get answers on what degree pathway will truly fulfil you, and make an impact. What you might need now:
- More clarity on the most authentic direction for you.
- Awareness of the types of degree pathways and possibilities you didn’t even know existed!
- To connect with yourself—to be honest with yourself.
- A professional assessment of your strengths and core values.
- More confidence to land a place at that dream university you deserve.
- Willingness to let go of all the reasons you’re limiting your success.
- An action plan to get that dream career going.
Albert Einstein brilliantly once said, “you cannot solve problems from the same level of thinking that created them.”
Needless to say, a certain level of thinking got you to where you are…but the thinking isn’t producing answers, just more questions. You’re confused about what you want to do with your life, and more and more people keep asking you for answers. Now you feel like it’s crunch time because you have to choose a university major.
It is because you’re feeling lost or conflicted that I’m going to spend anywhere from 1-3 sessions asking you lots of questions about your studies and pursuits in and outside the classroom—what you like, what you don’t like, what you’re great at (and so much more!). I’ll also offer you some resources such as personality assessments, personalised exercises, and a tailored booklist – all of which will allow me to start thinking about where there’s a connection between you and what degree pathways may suit your talents and joys in life, and more importantly lead to the career outcomes more suitable for you.
We’ll dive into your needs in the academic sphere together, we’ll create a vision for the career you want, and we’ll explore your current mindset to assess where you can grow the most. Once we discover these blocks, I’ll facilitate you to release them.
Together, we will seriously up-level the way you see the world, and how you see what’s possible for you.
When it comes to what types of degree courses are out there, you don’t know what you don’t know! That’s why one of the best ways I can support my clients is in helping them see all the different options and types of pathways that are accessible to them. As you can see from my bio, I have six degrees, worked as a professor and traversed professional careers before starting Xsrted.
Having me as your coach means having someone to consider the professional pathways that exist for you beyond graduation. I’ll take everything you share and come up with a list of career paths you’ve perhaps never considered. This will include more traditional roles (medicine, law, marketing, investment banking, consulting, etc.) and more “rogue” options—think sommeliers, garden designers, professional gamers, and so much more… The sky is truly the limit, and the biggest gift I can give you is support in accessing your own awareness: helping you see options in places you don’t see them, and helping you discover what your natural gifts truly are.
This is where it gets fun! Now that we’ve done an intense dive into who you are, your strengths, and the best options for you, you will COMMIT to a path you’re excited about. We’ll support you with the tools you need to bring it to life, based on your needs, including:
- Polishing your elevator pitch for university interviews.
- Getting radically clear on your personal statement vision.
- Launching relevant Extracurriculars and Internships.
- Networking strategies.
- Entrepreneurship skills to sell you.
