MEET YOUR COACH

Hey, I'm Lauren!

I loved my faculty position when I started, but toward the end of my 14 years in academia, I was burnt out, underpaid, and bitter. I loved working with students but higher ed and my institution weren't what they once were. I was proud of my academic career but knew I was ready for a new chapter. And this has been the BEST chapter yet!

Started Grantibly (our consulting business) part-time while I was a faculty member

Built the business to be sustainable

Increased my income immediately after leaving my tenured position and now have more than doubled my income doing work I love

Now I spend my days supporting clients who are doing exciting work that makes a difference - and our works helps them do MORE good in the world

MEET YOUR COACH

Hey, I'm Angelika

I continue to thrive as both a professor and consultant, showing that part-time consulting can fit alongside a full-time career.

We started Grantibly as a side business and I continue to operate it that way

I have learned how to avoid overwork, streamline my courses, and focus on what matters most - student learning and success

The mindset shifts I have made as a consultant have helped my students in their own lives through sharing my experiences and lessons

Angelika smiling at the thought of independently consulting
