If it feels like the old map doesn’t work anymore—it’s not your fault.
Coaching doesn’t promise quick fixes, but together, we can draw a new map that fits today’s world. You don’t have to do it alone.

Even in a shrinking job market, your skills and experience are real.
Coaching helps you find new ways to use what you already have, and sometimes, a new definition of success.

It’s normal to feel stuck or discouraged when so much is out of your control.
With support and good questions, you can rediscover what matters to you, even in tough times.

Right now, “wait and see” can feel endless.
But you don’t have to wait alone. Coaching helps you navigate uncertainty, find your strengths, and move forward at your own pace.

It’s tough when options dry up and the next step seems completely unclear.
Coaching creates space for new thinking—sometimes a shift in perspective opens paths you couldn’t see before.

If you feel like every door is shutting, you’re not alone. Sometimes the path forward starts with stopping, breathing, and regaining perspective.

Scientists in training should be taught the creative scientific process, to gain confidence in their self-efficacy for research and identity as a scientist, & also for greater work satisfaction and a better chance of remaining in science long-term. Join our community at www.night-science.org

Can #creativity be learnt? A Nature Careers feature on Night Science featuring our Founders @itaiyanai.bsky.social and @martinlercher.bsky.social investigates this issue at the heart of #NightScience

Can creativity in science be learnt? These researchers think so

Time pressure gets in the way of ideas. Developing ‘creative oases’ and small grants for risky ideas can encourage innovative thinking in science.
