Are you new to working in higher education or facing new challenges?
Working in higher education is one of the most rewarding career choices in the world but it can also be confusing and frustrating. Faculty and staff enter the academy in traditional and non-traditional ways, ranging from scholars with advanced degrees who focus on research to industry professionals with significant real-world experience who want to share their expertise with the next generation.
Everyone brings different strengths to the academy, but it can be challenging to figure out how to leverage those attributes to become a cutting-edge scholar or transformative leader without experiencing burnout. Of course, there’s more to life than work. Success at work represents only one of 10 integrated life domains that contribute to a happy, healthy, and meaningful life. I’m here to help you envision and implement your balanced life as a highly impactful academic.
Let’s get started.

Frauke Hachtmann, Ph.D., MBA, MA, Board-Certified Coach
Creating a sustainable path toward an impactful, rewarding career in higher education as part of a balanced life can be quite challenging. It requires introspection, developing new systems, and a commitment to implementing change.
Many higher education professionals experience burnout along the way and wonder whether the academy is really where they want to be. Luckily, it doesn’t have to be that way. Having a successful academic career can take many different forms and I can help you discover your unique path.
I’m a fully promoted, tenured faculty member at a Big 10 university with more than 20 years of experience in the academy, including numerous leadership roles. As part of my journey, I’ve mentored many faculty, students, and staff and discovered my passion for developing people. If you envision a rewarding career in higher education but are stuck in how to accomplish it, I’d love to help you.

In my 3-month signature coaching program, Pathfinder Life, we will work one-on-one to design a unique path to take your life to the next level. Whether you’re a senior faculty member or just starting your academic journey, we will use my systematic five-step framework to build the life that you want to live.
We’ll identify your “why” and imagine what’s possible, clarify your vision and mission, and develop a 10-year life plan around your key life domains with systems to help you implement it. To learn all the details and apply for one of the few spots remaining, click the button below.
Purpose. It all begins with your “why.” We will explore your aspirational values and create a unique purpose statement to help you understand your key motivations.
Exploring your life domains. To launch the next decade of your life, we will first create a stable platform by optimizing the five main areas of functioning, including family, work, spirituality, health, and community.
Developing and aligning goals. Once we know which areas of your life to focus on, we will set long-term goals and break them into smaller, measurable milestones aligned with your purpose statement.
Creating systems. To implement your life plan we will create sustainable systems so that you’ll know exactly what to focus on every year, month, week, and day.
Implementing and measuring key strategies. Now that we have a game plan, it’s go-time! You will start to implement your plan using the systems we co-created and adjust it as needed. I will be the guide on your side.
