In Episode 11, I am thrilled to have Dr Helen Kara as a guest! I have followed her on Twitter for years, read her books and learned so much from her! In this episode, we talk about everything: doing a PhD, writing books, working in academia with autism and so much more.

Let's introduce this amazing academic: Dr Helen Kara is a leading independent researcher, author, teacher and speaker specialising in research methods, particularly creative methods, and research ethics. With over twenty years' experience as an independent researcher Helen now teaches doctoral students and staff at higher education institutions worldwide.

Thank you so much, Helen and to our listeners: enjoy this episode!

For Episode 10, I have a very special guest - Dr Roland von Euw from Switzerland! 

Roland is the founder of a ground-breaking education organisation, called vE Educational Excellence which is committed to excellent vocational, professional and higher education. It focuses on education, consulting and research. I am fortunate enough to work for this amazing organisation!

Roland is also the CEO of eFachausweis, which prepares students from all over Switzerland and the world for federally-recognised vocational exams

He has a PhD in Education from the University of Liverpool and is really focused on the research part of his educational organisations. 

Listen to Roland discussing doing a PhD while working and the challenges and advantages of doing it in another language; founding a successful business and so much more!
