YU 4 YOU

Academic institutions, academics and entrepreneurs are expected to achieve their goals in highly competitive ecosystems while very often not being trained or supported to do so. YU supports the development of the ”why you!” as the principle to achieve their goals.

Academics

Your goals may be to create impact, get a grant or other external funding, be published or promoted, expand lab space, be selected as a collaborator, be chosen as a partner by industry or a social enterprise or by students to become their supervisors?

YU supports you to achieve your goals by identifying and developing individual differentiators to become the academic of choice.

We support the selection of effective measurables and the development of dashboards to provide information for evidence-based decision making, control outcomes and ease of reporting.

Testimonials
"I was not able to find a coach fitting to my needs neither in the UK nor Australia, so was excited when Gunther outlined his coaching approach. I found the sessions were extremely beneficial in developing my personal growth as a leader and would highly recommend him as a coach particularly for senior academics with career ambitions in university management."
- Prof. Phil Gale, Deputy Dean Faculty of Science, University of Technology Sydney
Testimonials
“The impact of Gunther’s training and coaching is clearly apparent in the number and quality of commercial interactions and research contracts that the participants in his programs, such as me, have successfully obtained and navigated. Importantly, the programs Gunther provided enabled us to gain confidence in our interactions with external stakeholders.”
