According to a  study by The Council of Graduate Schools, 44% of doctoral students lose their motivation and do not complete their degree within 10 years.  Maintaining your passion and motivation for your PhD is a real challenge - especially in the times that we find ourselves in where just keeping going is a struggle.   Ciara Feely is a 2nd year PhD student with ML Labs in University College Dublin. In the second semester of her PhD program Ciara started the PhD and Productivity YouTube channel  to improve her public speaking.  On the channel she talks about being productive during a PhD, working from home, and maintaining work-life balance.   Ciara’s keen interest in productivity, led to the development of a startup with a fellow PhD student. They placed third in NovaUCD’s student enterprise competition this June and are continuing to develop Daysier, with the aim to provide personalised productivity solutions.   In this episode we dive into the challenges of productivity - from realistic goal setting to keeping focused.   Ciara shares lots of useful resources that can help you plan your work schedule and make effective use of your time.

How to keep motivated and productive as a PhD student with Ciara Feely

Ciara Feely is the creator of The Conference Converter System – a proven formula that shows hotels and venues how to win BIG in the Meetings &amp; Event market by helping them to see their business from their client’s point of view. Ciara helps venue teams to be leaders in the sales process and be in control. She believes it’s not about how the team wants to sell; it’s about how the client wants to buy. She shows hotels how to STOP SELLING (as Howard Feiertag taught us in episode 46), and how to build TRUST instead, because it’s the relationship the buyer wants – and that relationship will deliver more wins. In This Episode, Ciara Reveals:  How to stand out and sound different; to be of interest to the client. How to create your Power Sales Tools to make the competition irrelevant. How to package and present your proposal to turn prospects to profits. How to chart your Sales Surge and System and stop the leaky sales funnel. How to WOW &amp; WIN the hotel show around and double the power of your marketing spend. The result when you implement her system – a steady stream of repeat clients and referrals.
