The journey of motherhood is never an easy one, and it gets even harder when trying to balance motherhood with your career.

For founder and CEO of Hylton Insights, Yolande Hylton, this challenge is all too real. However, while some may choose to give up one for the other, she is determined to leave a legacy of excellence in her industry, while creating a better future for herself and her daughter.

A thought provoking thread…

[Mushtaq Bilal, PhD @MushtaqBilalPhD]

Last May I finished my PhD and applied for jobs in several universities across the world.

Got rejected by every single one.

Even those where I thought I was a perfect fit.

I'll start it once I feel motivated.
I'll feel motivated once I start it.

You have to start before you feel motivated. Then the motivation kicks in.
Open the document and start writing.
Make the call to your supervisor.
Fill in the first field of the application form.

Has anyone researching any business related area used grounded theory for your dissertation? What was your experience? Based on what you know now would you still have chosen that method vs another route like case studies@AcademicChatter #phdchat #AcademicTwitter #academicchatter

[Caribbean Academic Network @PhDCaribbean]

As a PhD student, why is it looking like it would have been easier to go the quantitative versus qualitative route. Qualitative = fighting every step of the way to justify your why especially for those who don’t understand it. I thought we would be over this by now #phdchat #PhD

[Caribbean Academic Network @PhDCaribbean]

For persons doing qualitative research, did you encounter significant pushback whilst putting together your methodology chapter. It appears individuals have different views on qualitative based on their background and experience /1
