JANUARY 30, 2023

One of the realities of moving up the executive leadership ranks, whether in higher education or other sectors, is that the higher you ascend, the fewer people you have with whom to commensurate or in whom to confide.

Poppy discusses her struggles in 2022 and how she plans to create achievable goals in 2023. - Poppy For me, 2022 was a year of changes and challenges. As I struggled to stay on top of my responsibilities in my own life, comparing myself to others made my mental health worse. When I looked around and saw other people going out and accomplishing their goals, it felt like I was falling behind in comparison.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

The short answer to that question is yes. Whether you know it or not. At a minimum you are the ambassador for your personal brand. Your words and actions create the impression you make on the people who you hang around with. You might know that but did you also know that sometimes those people talk about you with others you may have never even met? They are passing along their impressions of you.

These writings were most likely to do with literatures, methodologies and research design, and the warrant for your research.
