What do we do?

Whether you are an individual academic looking to maximise the impact of your research and career, or an institution wanting to provide the best support possible for your staff, we deliver bespoke one-to-one and group coaching packages and training workshops.

“Coming to The One Life School at a really challenging time professionally has given me the time and space I need to discover the best version of me… Neil is exactly what I want in my coach; someone who will make sure I hold myself to the highest standards… The coaching has made me more determined, focussed, reflective and stronger as a result. I would not hesitate in recommending him to everyone in my network.”

“I really enjoyed the academic leadership workshop given by Neil. It came at a time when I was nearing completion of my PhD and I was struggling with where to go from there. Neil broke down academic scholarship into a few pieces of skills that are concrete and manageable. It is so inspiring to know that academic scholarship is about knowing yourself and motivating others. It will guide me throughout my academic career. I wish that I could have attended this workshop earlier in my PhD programme so that I can build my academic leadership awareness from the very beginning.”

Neil’s Experience as an Academic

The One Life School was co-founded by Dr Neil McLatchie who spent 7 years as a Lecturer at a top-10 university, and knows a thing or two about the unique challenges that an academic career provides.

Our coaching and workshops are therefore designed to help academics thrive even in the face of modern and ever-changing demands of an academic career.

These issues can often cause academics to feel stressed, stuck, directionless, like they’re lacking impact, and/or unsure of how to achieve their career goals.

If that describes you, then our academic coaching and workshops can help you to take control and focus on how you can have the most impactful and successful career possible.
