Customer Reviews
What you do is not who you are
Loved listening to episode 2 with Dr. Harrington. It’s useful information that can be beneficial to any leader in any career field. Thanks for this platform to help us all succeed while taking care of ourselves.
Generalities
Sounds good. Sounds professional. They are both excellent, relaxed speakers, but I can’t figure out what it is they actually do. If they are university/college problem solvers, I would like to hear “specific” problems and challenges they deal with, and then examples of “specific” ways in which they solve those problems or attempt to solve them. Perhaps the purpose here is to deal in broad generalities - just to get others thinking and talking about any and all issues in higher education?
