170: Next Gen Learners? Educators Must Adapt says Futurist Elliott Masie

This week on the show, Jeff offers insight into one of the key learning opportunities to that end for independent school business officers, the NBOA Annual Meeting platform.
164: Stack Your Bench — Succession Planning in Higher Ed
Succession planning — the way most of us do it — doesn’t work. Face it: the last thing that today’s leaders want to do is plan their exit while they’re still 100% invested in doing today’s work. And that’s why this topic is so important: it is precisely because it is unpalatable that we hide from it, dodge it, look the other way.
161: Exploring Education as Fiction with Professor Brad Allenby
Professor Brad Allenby maps the changes in higher education to grand revolutions of European history, that of the Glorious British Revolution of 1688 or the French Revolution leading to the Reign of Terror.

159: Headlining Your Success to Inspire Others through Emotion, Curiosity, and Clarity

152: New America’s Amy Laitinen on Higher Ed Advocacy, Policy, and the Most Important Constituent
Our guest today is passionate about education. That, of course, could be said of any of us working in institutions across the country.

151: Goucher President José Bowen shares the power of improvisation in institutional leadership
How do we transform our institutions and learning models to meet the needs of tomorrow’s students? What does “student success” mean to the academic mission of tomorrow’s institutions?

138: The Toughest Job — NACUBO 2016 Student Financial Services Conference
When we talk about good customer service in higher education, what does that mean? Do your teams recoil at the word ‘customer’? Is there a shared interest in delivering quality service across the institution? If any of these questions are challenging for you to answer, don’t worry, you’re not alone.
136: CMCI — Launching the First New College at CU Boulder in 53 Years
University of Colorado at Boulder is launching the first new college on campus in over 53 years.

130: Practice what we Teach for Smarter Operations with Unimarket CEO Peter Kane
That institutions practice extensively in their own operations, that which they teach in the classroom, has proved to be a challenge in higher education. When we run into internal operational challenges, can we honestly say that we’re as adaptable as we like to think we are?

Arguably the most challenging part of any change process is rallying the support of the people around you to join you on your way. This week on the show, we present Howard Teibel’s model for approaching any population you’re trying to influence in a specific direction.
