YOUR COACH

Ditte-Marie From

I am an Associate Professor with a background in the Sociology of Education, specializing in academic well-being, learning environments, and researcher development. For more than a decade, I have explored how people can draw on their existing strengths and resources to thrive, grow, and succeed.

Today, I work closely with doctoral education across Danish and Nordic universities. I have conducted more than 150 coaching sessions with PhD students and facilitated numerous productive workshops for PhD students, PhD supervisors, and research leaders.

I support academic researchers in navigating the opportunities and challenges of a work life in academia, helping them achieve their goals while sustaining motivation, productivity, high quality, and well-being.
