WORK WITH DR SAUD TAJ

Bring me the situation. We'll start there.

Confidential, practical 1:1 work with someone who has held almost every role a university has, from international student to Acting Vice Chancellor.

Dr Saud Taj

THREE WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

Fees are quoted individually.

RISE

Progression advisory

For academics and professional-services staff preparing for their next leadership step: visibility, sponsorship, senior-role applications, interviews and your leadership narrative.

Inquire

LEAD AND THRIVE

Confidential senior-leader advisory

For Heads, Deans, VPs, Provosts, Pro-Vice Chancellors and Presidents facing politics, difficult decisions, isolation or transition. A place to think out loud with someone who has sat in the chair.

Inquire

PHD AND DBA

PhD/DBA mentoring

For doctoral researchers who are stuck: feedback, supervision, progress, or the life around the doctorate.

Inquire

How it works

  1. Tell me the situation by email to info@humanfirstinstitute.co: your name, current role, institution and country (optional), which of the three you're interested in, and what you're dealing with.
  2. We have a first conversation to see whether I am the right person to help.
  3. If we go ahead, I send a short proposal and fee.

Everything you share stays confidential. Advisory and mentoring are not therapy, and they do not replace legal, immigration or employment advice; where you need those, I will point you to the right professional help.
