The Career Architecture Most Academics Are Never Taught

Discover why some scholars become globally recognised authorities — while others stay overworked, invisible, and on a career plateau — no matter how hard they work.

You did what academia told you to do. You published. You built a teaching record … and yet your career still feels slow, less visible than you deserve, and disconnected from your intellectual potential.

You’re productive, busy… but not getting the recognition or reward your research and ideas deserve.

This is the result of never being taught how academic authority is built.

And this is what we change inside Elevate

Elevate is a 12-month private mentorship for ambitious academics who want to build:

• a clear intellectual identity

• strategic, high-leverage publishing

• visible authority in their field

• and long-term career capital

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about turning what you already do into influence, authority, and career power.

Elevate is an advanced programme

This is for you if:

• You are writing and publishing consistently

• You have serious ideas and want them taken seriously

• You want to be known for your work, not just assessed by it

• You’re tired of career drift and under-recognition

• You want trajectory, not just another deadline

• It’s for people who want a career that compounds.

This is not for you if:

• You need to put in place the building blocks of a regular writing habit (head over to my Collective instead)

• You are satisfied with slow (or no) career progression

• You are happy working away within your institution and are focused on service progression rather than idea impact

Inside the Mentorship

When you enter Elevate, you have access to:

• All my coaching materials and programmes

• Live Q&A once per fortnight

• Personal 1-1 coaching dedicated to your career goals

• Direct feedback on your writing, ideas, and career strategy

This is an exclusive, high level mentorship programme.

What you will get out of elevate

After 12 months, clients typically have:

• a coherent intellectual identity

• a strategic publishing pipeline

• a visible research profile

• stronger networks and invitations

• and genuine control over their career direction

You don’t just publish. You become someone whose work carries weight and someone who is crafting their career, intentionally.
