| Ep. 23: Faculty and Talent Experience | 13 May 2024 | 00:42:12 | |
Television shows and movies have a tendency to make faculty life look glamorous. Ask any faculty member, however, and they will fill you in on the challenges of juggling teaching, research, publishing, grant writing, pursuing tenure, etc. Let’s not even talk about those who become department chairs with no people management experience or training. Many feel valued as some of the most important fixtures in higher education but others don’t feel quite so supported. Former tenured professor and current academic leadership coach Jennifer Askey joined “I Wanna Work There!” to fill us in on the life of faculty. What can you take away from episode 23?

| Ep. 19: Presidents and the Employee Experience | 18 Mar 2024 | 00:38:32 | |
Today’s college or university president is expected to be highly influential and effective in their leadership. These higher ed CEOs are expected to positively impact every aspect of their institutions, regardless of size. The employee experience, however, can often be one of the least prioritized areas. How did one of the most respected and recognized presidents in the country work with his faculty and staff? Walter Kimbrough visited “I Wanna Work There!” to talk about how he worked to create a positive talent experience during his presidencies. Here are the takeaways for this episode:
Guest Name: Walter Kimbrough Guest Social: Guest Bio: Dr. Walter M.

Dillard also recorded its largest alumni gift, its largest single private donation, a $5 million gift from MacKenzie Scott, and a $5 million gift from Kirkland & Ellis for the university’s Center for Racial Justice. Dillard was also noted as one of the nation’s top producers of Black physics graduates, and the university’s pre-law program averaged over a 90% law school acceptance rate.

At the age of 37, he became the twelfth president of Philander Smith College (now Philander Smith University) where he was given the moniker “Hip Hop Prez” for his skillful use of hip hop culture and music to educate students as well as his effective use of social media for public conversation.

It has become a theme on “I Wanna Work There!”–higher education is a people business, especially when it comes to faculty and staff.

Erik explains how human-centered design boosts institutional efficiencies, processes and profitability in addition to faculty and staff’s talent experience.

| Ep. 14: Diversity Recruiting and ‘Positive Disruption’ | 20 Nov 2023 | 00:41:55 | |
Diversity recruiting goes well beyond finding candidates who are simply different. It’s about identifying and hiring talent that will change the trajectory of your college or university in a productive way. Diversity recruiting both uplifts candidates in the minority while broadening the talent in the majority. The “positive disruption” of attracting and retaining diverse talent is what Rory Verrett’s work is all about. A diversity recruiter and executive coach, Rory visits “I Wanna Work There!” to talk about how he identified the need for diversity recruiting in the executive space, why diversity recruiting is so important to the health of organizations, and why he decided to write his book, “The Pomegranate Principle: The Best Practices in Diversity Recruiting.” Rory E.

| Ep. 13: Succession Planning and Employer Branding | 06 Nov 2023 | 00:34:44 | |
In a LinkedIn post, Emmalee Amthor wrote, “Succession planning is an investment in an organization's future. Here’s why. “1. Continuity: It ensures the smooth transition of key positions when employees retire, leave, or are promoted, reducing disruptions in workflow. “2. Talent Development: It identifies and nurtures potential future leaders, fostering their growth within the organization. “3. Risk Mitigation: Succession planning mitigates the risk of leadership vacuums, helping organizations avoid crises during unexpected departures. “4. Employee Engagement: It can boost morale and engagement by showing employees that the organization values their development and growth. “5. Cost Savings: Developing internal talent is often more cost-effective than recruiting externally. “6. Strategic Alignment: Succession planning aligns leadership development with the organization's strategic goals and long-term vision.” Not only does Emmalee provide great perspective on the value of succession planning, but she talks about how she developed a passion for employer branding and how she’s using it as a human resources professional on her campus.

| Ep. 11: The Need for Culture Cultivators | 16 Oct 2023 | 00:34:19 | |
To boost an employer brand, Brittany King does not believe in hiring for culture-fit. As she wrote on a LinkedIn post, Brittany believes that organizations should seek out what she calls “culture cultivators.” A highly seasoned recruiter who focuses on culture as well as diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, Brittany wrote that culture cultivators prepare an organization for the future, they optimize the organization for growth, and they develop process improvements to remove those elements that inhibit organizational success. In this episode, we broke down where culture cultivation starts, infusing culture cultivation into institutions’ strategic plans, and how to identify culture cultivators who will inspire brand ambassadorship throughout campus.

| Ep. 10: Building a Productive Team Culture | 25 Sep 2023 | 00:38:11 | |
It’s one thing to have a team that works well together. It’s another thing to have a team that knocks it out of the park in terms of productivity, honors, and a place where people want to be. That would be the marketing and communications team at Purdue University. It’s a team that has nearly doubled in size through a university-wide 150th anniversary celebration, the COVID lockdown, and presidential transition. Two Purdue marcom leaders, Ethan Braden and Kelly Hiller, joined “I Wanna Work There!” to talk about their journeys, building a team culture, and earning campus wide buy-in to become an award-winning operation. To learn more about Purdue’s team and work, go to.

| Ep. 9: Employer Branding Through Presidential Communications | 11 Sep 2023 | 00:33:19 | |
Presidents affect faculty and staff engagement in many ways. How these campus CEOs communicate with their employees cannot be taken for granted, even at some of the biggest campuses in the nation. That’s where this episode’s guest, Teresa Valerio Parrot, comes in. On this edition of “I Wanna Work There!,” Teresa discusses why communications from the president’s office are so critical. A seasoned communicator known as the “president whisperer,” Teresa visits the podcast to share her perspectives about what is possibly the most difficult job in higher education. Teresa’s observations provide pathways to understand how presidents can leverage their individual attributes to encourage institutional brand ambassadorship among employees.

| Ep. 8: The Trouble with Micromanagement | 28 Aug 2023 | 00:32:49 | |
Micromanagement does no favors to employer branding. However, faculty and staff may be willing to be the brand ambassadors of their campuses if their leaders knew how to…dance? There is a practice called followership which is the set of employee behaviors that influence how leaders lead. So, what happens when leaders micromanage? Sharna Fabiano, a certified leadership coach, uses her experience as an internationally recognized tango artist to help leaders understand how to work productively with their people. As the chair of the International Leadership Association’s Followership Member Community, Sharna helps us understand what followership is, why micromanagement is received so negatively by employees, and how leaders can invite their employees to “the dance floor” to foster more collaborative and productive work environments.

| Ep. 7: No More ‘Post and Pray’ | 14 Aug 2023 | 00:21:45 | |
Colleges and universities are finding out, the hard way, why they can no longer “post and pray,” that is post job openings and pray that qualified candidates will fill the applicant tracking systems. On this episode, we went straight to a major source to find out what kind of traction higher education job postings are getting. Kevin Varner of HigherEdJobs joined “I Wanna Work There!” to discuss the increase that the website has seen in postings from campuses across the country, how site traffic has changed, and what institutions should do to attract the candidates that they want.

| Ep. 6: A Title Does Not a Leader Make | 01 Aug 2023 | 00:27:32 | |
Employee engagement does not happen without effective leadership. Effective leadership, however, doesn’t always come from those with executive authority–the folks with the titles. Without question, great leadership can come from faculty and staff who own their expertise and authority and who have moved the needle on their respective campuses. This episode explores the critical role that leadership development plays in employee engagement through the eyes of Vicki Baker, an economics and management professor who wrote an Inside Higher Ed op-ed called “A Title Does Not a Leader Make.”

| Ep. 5: The Delicate Dance of Managing Change | 17 Jul 2023 | 00:33:43 | |
They say that the only thing that is constant is change. How does change affect the employees at an institution, especially when the change is at the top? Higher education, an industry that once upon a time saw presidents and chancellors lead institutions for decades in some cases, is now seeing leadership changes at the top nearly every six years. How does that affect faculty and staff? Robin M.L. Johnson, who is an expert in change management, joined “I Wanna Work There!” to discuss how institutional leaders, faculty and staff can manage major change at their respective institutions by keeping emotional intelligence at the center of the discussion.

| Ep. 28: The Problems with Burnout | 22 Jul 2024 | 00:38:02 | |

We only have to go as far as an off-campus conversation to find out that some colleagues who seem to have it all together are probably suffering the worst cases of burnout. On this episode, we will chat with Rebecca Pope-Ruark, a former tenured professor who researches burnout and coaches faculty through their burnout experiences.

| Ep. 4: How a School Attracted ‘Ambitious Builders’ | 03 Jul 2023 | 00:25:08 | |
When Suri Duitch arrived at Tulane University to take over as the dean of the School of Continuing Studies, she saw a need to rebrand. Renaming her unit the School of Professional Advancement (SoPA), Suri led an involved process that included collecting internal data, giving her the good, the bad and the ugly about the school. On this episode, we learn that the rebranding process was about more than changing SoPA’s name and look. It was about changing the culture. Suri shares how SoPA attracted “ambitious builders,” the change she saw in SoPA’s job applicants, and how SoPA gained a reputation within Tulane as an “excellent place to work.”

| Ep. 2: Higher Ed’s Work Culture | 05 Jun 2023 | 00:41:32 | |
Campus work culture matters. While a college campus can be a place that’s full of life and offers many employees such great things as shared governance, it can also mentally and physically wear its employees down, a serious threat to the employer brand. Kevin McClure has been vocal about the work culture of higher education and offers thoughts about why and how it needs to change.
