Dr. Garcia is the Berkeley City College President and a dear friend. We found some time last spring to have a conversation. I would love to shadow Angélica for a week or two and just learn how she manages a vibrant, exciting college and a healthy family life. That would be a master class in leadership. But until then it was a joy to talk and learn with her. Listen in.
Naomi’s takeaways from this conversation:
1. Trust your instincts and move forward as opportunities present themselves.
2. Trust your team
3. Inform your decisions with perspective from others – students, classified staff, faculty, the cabinet team
4. Stay grounded in data, research and the community you serve.
5. Unity is our superpower
