Testimonials

"I was struggling with being organized and making the best use of the limited time I had. As a mother to two small children, a bi-vocational minister working in the financial industry with plenty of business travel, and the founder of an infertility ministry, The Waiting Room, my doctoral pursuit was being negatively impacted.  As a result of [working with Dr. Smith], I have been able to be more efficient during my study time, plan my dissertation project, and have an effective plan for the completion of my dissertation.  Becoming Dr. Wilson has come in to focus more clearly after working with Dr. Smith. I recommend Dr. Shanell T Smith’s coaching services for anyone who wants to have a thought partner to relieve some of the stress of the doctoral process, as well as, gain implementable tools that will help one effectively achieve their goals.”

- Rev. Tamla Wilson, Doctoral Candidate

"Though the professional advice Dr. Smith provided me with had proven to be second-to-none, it is her ability to challenge graduate students to seek a holistic, integrated approach to our profession that makes her a singular influence upon my life. When I shared with Dr. Smith during our cohort meeting that I was a husband, she made a point to tell me in no uncertain terms to never allow any professional pursuit to rob me of that which is dearest -my family. Prior to Dr. Smith’s exhortation, I had never encountered a faculty mentor who placed the needs of my own health and family above the vainglorious pursuit of academic fame and prestige. Because of Dr. Smith’s advice, I have maintained an integrated philosophy of the scholarly vocation which, in turn, has allowed me to function more productively as a graduate student precisely because I am able to pursue my goals within a family that has claimed peace as our principle portion. Oftentimes, I find myself wondering aloud where my career and family would be if Dr. Smith never took the time to pour into a nervous and self-doubting first generation Black grad student. Thanks be to God, I guess we’ll never know."

- James Howard Hill, Jr., Doctoral Student

"Her encouragement and coaching made my exam period far more manageable than they would have otherwise been. She offered strategies and also repeatedly reminded me that I could do it. I am grateful for Dr. Smith as a coach and mentor. She has helped me see new areas of my project, pushed me in my own productivity with strategies for success and in general, is an amazing person to know, I highly recommend her services. I am confident that you won't be disappointed."

- Rev. Chelsea B. Yarborough, Doctoral Candidate

“Over the last few years I’ve had my fair share of setbacks. All of them have come at the intersection of life, work, and education. The setbacks have elongated my PhD journey. I am very grateful for the insights and expertise of Dr. Shanell T. Smith. She has de-mystified the process and helped me to regain some momentum. Anyone looking to get done sooner should definitely consider working with her.”

- Ernest D. Gray, Jr., Doctoral Student
