About the Episode

About the episode: In higher ed, faculty and staff feel the constant crush of research, student enrollment goals, teaching loads, projects that need to be managed, fundraising goals, and more. We know, all too well, that the pressures of the job aren’t going anywhere. Kim Gordon believes that it is important to feel a sense of affirmation and validation through work amid these pressures. She sees that happening for faculty and staff through a spirit of R.E.S.T.:  Reflecting, reEnergizing, Strategizing, and Thriving. 

In this episode, you will hear about the following:

  1. How to gain a sense of affirmation and validation through work.
  2. How to incorporate R.E.S.T. into the work you do.
  3. Which types of leaders can help faculty and staff experience R.E.S.T.
