YES! SAVE MY FOUNDING MEMBER PLACE“Sanne's coaching has reinvigorated my passion for research and clarified my academic and professional pathways. With her kindness and encouragement, I've discovered my 'sweet spot' in research, a realisation that will empower me to be more strategic in ensuring that 'opportunities' I take up align with my core interests and long-term goals.”
“My eyes opened to the degree of self-diminishing I had perpetuated over many years in my professional life. I learnt that I have all that it takes to take control over my professional development.”
“I feel redirected now, especially thanks to my academic mission statement. Having claimed a space in the research world, I feel I am supposed to be here now. That has been a huge step for me.”
What is it?
What is The Breakthrough Circle?
The Breakthrough Circle is a monthly community for women in academia who are ready for meaningful breakthroughs - from the inside out.
Most academics come to me because they feel overwhelmed, stressed out or pulled in a thousand directions. They think they need better time management, more confidence, or greater productivity.
I've learned through years of researching identity and coaching academics that the biggest breakthroughs rarely begin there.
They begin with us.
As we change how we see ourselves, we begin to write differently, lead differently, make braver decisions, and create new possibilities in our work, our research, and our careers.
Breaking through, together.
Your membership includes:
- A different breakthrough every month - from writing blocks, self-doubt and perfectionism to visibility, leadership, and joy.

- Access to my collection of courses, experiences and workshops: Big Careers Without Tears, Her Academic Archetype and my complete workshop library.
