A group coaching program for first-generation BIPOCs interested in personal development and sustainable productivity.

purpose & justification

The Grad School Femtoring Academy is a group coaching program for first-generation BIPOCs interested in learning more about personal development and sustainable productivity.

Over the course of this program, you’ll be able to:

Define the basic components of sustainable productivity and personal development
Articulate your core values, strengths, and areas of growth
Learn how to create and achieve effective short and long-term goals
Understand and apply the skills necessary for sustainable productivity
Learn strategies for prioritizing your wellness, self-care, and community-care
Learn how to improve on and employ a growth mindset
Employ self-assessment strategies for professional and personal success

"I gained concrete skills of sustainable productivity. I am still learning about it and will try to implement it in my personal and professional areas of life. The program made me feel empowered to embrace my challenges as a chronically ill, neurodivergent individual. Most importantly, I feel hopeful and determined to identify and implement strategies and skills I learned in the course in a way that work for me. The most valuable or impactful part of the program was being able to relate to others who have similar struggles to mine related to being neurodivergent, BIPOC, chronically ill, among other identities we shared about. I would recommend the program to others because Dra. Yvette is very compassionate, thorough, caring, and organized. At the same time, she is open to share about her own struggles and her experience navigating through these to achieve, perform, and move forward personally and professionally. This really helps to strengthen the femtor-femtee connection."

"I enjoyed the reframing wellness workshop because it reminded me about the importance of self care and the various ways to go about it. The project-management tool kit was also really helpful. The concrete skills I learned were knowing how to manage my time and increase my productivity using different resources available to me. I felt personally connected to a lot of the topics that were brought up because I could relate to a lot of the issues being discussed, such as trying to engage in self-care practices as a BIPOC student. It was nice to see the ways in which I could support myself or find solutions to the issues I have. The most valuable part of the program was the mentoring! I enjoyed the one-on-one zoom sessions because I could work on specific things and get relevant advice. I would recommend this program especially to BIPOC students because it comes from the perspective of a BIPOC and so the content is really relevant and helpful. I feel like typical grad prep programs don't always address the issues that this workshop addressed."

I also learned how to examine my time management skills better and the ways in which I am prioritizing my tasks. This program made me feel excited to learn how to become more productive.

“I felt so grateful to have found this program. I wished I had learned or known about all these resources, concepts, tools, and skills when I started my undergrad. I have been implementing and using the skills and tools that I have learned in my program and I feel like it is easier for me to let go….I feel more self-compassionate and gentle with myself. I would definitely recommend this program to others because I think it is crucial to learn the skills taught in this program. As 1st gen BIPOC students, many of us may have not been taught these skills… To navigate the world of academia as whole and thriving human beings, we need to learn that it is ok to dream, set goals, pause and take breaks, use AI for assistance, take care of ourselves and each other, embrace a growth mindset, be self-aware of our strengths and values, and take time to assess and evaluate. I feel like this program has taught me these skills that will help me navigate academia differently from those in the current culture of hyper productivity.”
