HOW DOES
PHD LIFE
ON YOUR TERMS
SOUND?
Holding a doctorate is a distinct advantage and differentiator - everywhere but the academy.
Maybe it's time for a new challenge with different impact.
Maybe you're feeling, "This isn't what I signed up for."
Maybe you didn't get tenure.
Maybe you're finishing your program, and you want options.
Whatever the reason, you need a catalyst for change.

Hi. My name is Cory, and I'm the Founder of Acadalyst, a strategy consultant and executive coach, and former professor. After leaving my academic career, building a consulting practice, and helping friends and former colleagues do the same, I found a passion for helping PhDs and other academics into career and life trajectories outside the academy.
No matter what stage of the doctoral career you're in - newly awarded or nearly emeritus - I am committed to help you envision and achieve the next chapters of your life with discovery, fulfillment, and impact. You've invested so much in your training and expertise - together let's put it to work in ways that build the life of your dreams and intentions.
As former tenure-track faculty, I understand the context of your academic life in ways typical coaches can't. As a coach, I have been trained by some of the top coaches and mentors in the world and have coached hundreds of clients, helping them see and realize new possibilities to have impact AND balance, a new vision and a new vitality.
I work with brilliant people who are ready to invest in themselves, do the work, experience real change, and create a new life NOW.
"Cory is a deep thinker and thought leader who is naturally a catalyst for others.
For me, it's been life changing working with Cory through a significant career and life transition. Cory is incredibly knowledgeable; he always seems to have timely insights no matter what topic I bring up. This competence made it easy for him to build credibility with me quickly.
I highly recommend setting up time with Cory if you're looking for a spark that moves you to action on something important to you. It’s what he's been able to do for me." - Serena A.
