Welcome

Connecting to the core of University life

AcademicLives works with academics at all stages of career to be at their best while sustaining personal resilience and well-being.

Key to our work is a unique and direct engagement with the core experience of university life to enhance the connection between aspiration, everyday practice and personal well-being.

AcademicLives offers a portfolio of experiential, coaching based workshops, programmes, one-to-one and group coaching, all uniquely based on an intimate understanding of the experience of academic life.

Developed by Will Medd, AcademicLives builds on his unique experience as former academic and a professional certified to combine coaching with an intimate understanding of university life.
