What people say about working with Rachna:
Testimonial: “I’m sure none of this comes as a surprise to you, but I do want to thank you again for teaching me these strategies. I continue to apply many of your methods in both my professional and personal lives: making lists of manageable tasks, taking encouragement from successful incremental progress, and addressing issues directly while making my own needs clear (and not apologizing for them). I am not effusive by nature, but I want you to know that the time I spent working with you had a noticeable impact on my work habits and personal style. Your approach is subtle, but powerful. THANK YOU!” - J. B., Ph.D.
Testimonial: “I was floundering in my eighth year of doctoral work with a flimsy topic and no real proposal. Having completed my classwork, I felt alone and abandoned by the University, and was not making any real progress. As a father of two working full time, there was always a reason not to work on my research. I knew, however, that I had to get serious to complete my Dissertation within the mandated ten year timeframe, but did not know really where or how to start. Worse, I was beginning to doubt myself and my abilities to complete the research. It was then that I fortunately stumbled upon… Dr. Rachna Jain. In weekly coaching sessions, Dr. Jain put my seemingly insurmountable task in perspective. Within nine months of contacting Dr. Jain my proposal was accepted, and my Dissertation was unanimously approved without revision within 10 months of my proposal review. Thank you, Dr. Jain, for showing me the way to reach my goal here.”
Bruce L. Myers, Ph.D.
Testimonial: “I am a firm believer that people come into your life for a reason. Such was the case for me when I contacted Dr. Rachna Jain to serve as my dissertation coach. I was 6 years into my Ph.D. program and was rapidly approaching my 7-year limit. In the midst of trying to start and complete my dissertation, I was juggling tremendous work demands and life issues. Needless to say, I was very concerned about being able to complete my Ph.D. within the following year given the constraints on my time. From the very first day, Dr. Jain encouraged and assured me that it was possible to complete my dissertation in one year. She was extraordinary in helping me to stay focused and to make incremental progress. She provided an effective framework for me to balance my work and dissertation demands and remain energized. She also added a lot of value in the content of my idea and subsequent papers. I was very impressed with how fast she was able to grasp and understand a topic out of her direct area of expertise. I would highly recommend, and encourage, anyone who is working on his/her dissertation to contact Dr. Rachna Jain for support. She will exceed your expectations and ensure you reach your goals”

Testimonial: Rachna really gave me the head start I needed to get my dissertation done in less than a year. My goal was to finish in time to participate in the graduation ceremonies this year, and with her help, I defended my dissertation on April 17, 2011, just 9 months after I initially started to work with Rachna. Most importantly, I finished in time to participate in graduation. I was in a haze when I began my dissertation last summer and I checked out several dissertation coaches. Rachna was by far the most effective, straight forward, task oriented coach I came across. I knew I had to hire her. She is highly directive and efficient, but incredibly supportive as well. She puts you on a schedule and holds you accountable which is exactly what I needed. For those of you who are still struggling to finish your dissertations, I say put your pen down and give Rachna a call. She’s worth every penny. Thank you, Rachna, for providing me with just the right kind of tough love and guidance I needed to finish in less than one year. You’re amazing! I would highly recommend you to anyone who needs that extra shot in the arm to get the dissertation done!
