the upliftBridging Divides With Stories, with Elizabeth KeatingDr. Elizabeth Keating is a linguistic anthropologist who explores language -- and more recently, narrative -- to understand people's daily experiences. In her new book, The Essential Questions: Interview Your Family to Uncover Stories and Bridge Generations, she explores the power of asking open-ended questions that create connections by revealing the particularities of people's lives. As much as I find this topic compelling in my personal life, I am intrigued by how leaders can use this approach to learn more about their campuses. This approach seems particularly useful when folks are new to a campus or a r...2023-10-3046 min
the upliftOn Empathy & Learning From Our BlundersLast week in a newsletter I suggested to leaders that they reach out to their teams to talk about what’s happening in Gaza and Israel. Even as I made those recommendations I knew those conversations might be hard – not just for the leaders, but for everyone involved. Because talking about suffering is hard. One person – someone I trust – responded to my suggestion in a way that shows what hard can look like, and I thought it would be instructive to share that here. This is a short episode, but if you just want the thesis, here it is in...2023-10-2311 min

the upliftTeaching is an Act of Love. So is Leadership.Teaching is an act of love. After thinking about this with recent guests and faculty Rand Park, Sidneyeve Matrix, and Stephanie Cawthon, I've come to wonder if we don't expect far too much of our educators and far too little from our leaders. Teaching requires emotion: compassion, empathy, affection. Even love. These are necessary for learning to take place.If colleges and universities are learning institutions, then shouldn't the same principles apply?

When we use war metaphors we create a reality rooted in violence against other humans we perceive as our enemies.

the upliftYour One Wild & Precious LifeMary Oliver's poem, The Summer Day, does not appear in this episode but my thinking is inspired by her question: since this is the only life we have, what will you do with yorus? How will you spend your days? Leaders in higher ed often don't feel in control of their days. We have so much to respond to, and so many people we're accountable to. It seems right to spend our days attending to all those things, and letting them all shape our priorities. But that can easily turn into a life whe...2023-05-2923 min

the upliftHow to Use Feedback to Build TrustIf you work on a college campus, I’ll guess that most of what you do, all day long, is talk. You teach, mentor, and advise students. You run committee meetings. You report on your findings, whether you’re conducting research, designing systems, or enforcing policy. You send emails. You chat in Zoom. You message in Slack. You trouble-shoot and problem-solve. You talk to prospects – students, employees, donors. You hire and supervise people. All of that involves a helluva lot of…talking.
