In this special episode recorded live at NACAC, we chat with Derek Faasse, Director of Undergraduate Admissions at Capital University, about the evolving pathways to leadership in higher education. As a presenter and planning committee member for next year's NACAC conference in Columbus, Derek shares insights on how aspiring leaders can navigate their careers, the challenges facing admissions professionals today, and the opportunities that come with leadership in higher education.Key TakeawaysPathways to Leadership Vary: There are many different routes to leadership, whether through staying at the same institution or relocating across the country to find new opportunities.Leadership in Higher Ed Faces Unique Challenges: Enrollment cliffs, the Supreme Court's decisions, and industry changes are driving many admissions professionals to explore roles outside of higher ed.Mentorship and Lifelong Learning Matter: Seeking mentorship from both inside and outside of your institution, and committing to continuous learning, are key to progressing into leadership roles.What leadership pathways exist in higher education admissions?Derek Faasse's presentation at NACAC focuses on the many ways admissions professionals can step into leadership roles. From those who move across the country for new opportunities to others who work their way up at their alma mater, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to career growth in higher education. In fact, Fossey noted that director positions in admissions are on the rise, but there's a gap in leadership readiness that aspiring directors must be prepared to fill.Why are there so many open director positions in higher education admissions?Derek attributes the increase in job openings to several factors, including the ongoing brain drain in higher education. Many professionals are leaving for roles in the ed-tech space or outside the sector altogether due to the pressures of enrollment declines and legislative changes. This shift, however, creates opportunities for rising professionals to step into leadership roles, offering a chance to reshape the field.How can aspiring leaders prepare for the next step in their careers?Faasse emphasizes the importance of mentorship and continuous learning. Aspiring leaders need to actively seek out guidance from current directors and industry professionals, including those on the vendor side of higher ed. It's also essential to cultivate skills and confidence along the way. According to Derek, aspiring leaders should embrace a mindset of lifelong learning, consistency, and growth to move ahead in their careers. - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Mallory Willsea https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorywillsea/https://twitter.com/mallorywillseaSeth Odell https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethodell/https://twitter.com/sethodellAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:The Higher Ed Pulse is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

From ideation to creation, they craft human connections through intelligent, engaging and informative content. https://www.missinglink.company Synopsis Building positive leadership-focused habits is crucial for creating a successful team. When leaders are self-aware and conscious of their habits, they can effectively respond to trigger points and avoid negative reactions. By cultivating positive habits, leaders can operate on autopilot, making their team feel comfortable and psychologically safe. They can also coach and develop their team members, fostering an environment where everyone feels supported and motivated. Consistently exhibiting these positive habits encourages team members to go above and beyond, resulting in a strong and cohesive team working towards shared goals. Therefore, developing positive leadership-focused habits is essential for building a successful team. In the episode, the speaker highlights the significance of self-awareness and conscious habit-building for positive change. They mention that individuals often operate on autopilot for up to 40% of the time, similar to driving to work and realizing they don't remember the journey due to being lost in thought. Similarly, in a leadership context, individuals may unknowingly respond habitually to certain situations. The speaker provides an example of a leader receiving bad news. The leader's habitual response might be to attack the person, question why they didn't share the information earlier, or seek someone to blame. However, the speaker suggests that leaders should be aware of their habitual response and strive for a more positive approach. They encourage leaders to respond with gratitude for being informed and collaborate with the person to find a solution. The speaker also advises aspiring leaders to be conscious of their habits and genuinely desire a leadership role. They suggest "hacking" one's habits to make them positive. By being aware of their habits and actively working to change them, aspiring leaders can develop positive leadership-focused habits. This, in turn, creates a comfortable and psychologically safe environment for their team, fostering a willingness to go the extra mile. Developing current and aspiring leaders is crucial for both individuals and organizations. The episode emphasizes the host's passion for helping people reach their full potential, including developing leaders. Nate Prosser, a guest with experience in learning and leadership development, discusses the importance of nurturing leaders to become the best version of themselves. For individuals, developing leadership skills leads to personal growth and career advancement. Aspiring leaders, particularly those early in their careers, should focus on developing the necessary skills and qualities to become effective leaders. Nate advises aspiring leaders to recognize that leadership is a distinct role and ensure they genuinely want to lead and serve others. For organizations, developing leaders is vital for success. Nate emphasizes the significance of leaders spending time with their teams, coaching and developing them, and providing experiences and exposure to facilitate growth. This not only benefits individuals but also contributes to the overall success of the organization. Nate also highlights the importance of understanding the expectations of direct leaders regarding development. Without prioritizing development within the talent ecosystem, individuals may miss out on opportunities for growth and advancement. In summary, nurturing current and aspiring leaders is essential for both individuals and organizations. It fosters personal growth, career advancement, and contributes to organizational success.

THA #65 - Best Advice for the Aspiring Leaders by Doug Newman Leadership is a journey, not a destination. It is a path of continuous learning, growth, and self-discovery. For aspiring leaders, the road ahead may seem daunting, but with the right guidance and determination, it can be filled with rewarding experiences.  Listen to this episode to know more. Enjoy.

Evidence-based practices and high-quality curriculum are important, but they aren't the ONLY things school leaders need to think about. We can't effectively serve students unless we understand their community, which means we have to think beyond the classroom or therapy room. That's why I invited Edward Gordon, II, former principal and CEO of Gordon Leadership Academy, LLC to the De Facto Leaders podcast to talk about school turnaround and coaching within the education system. Edward W. Gordon, II is a native of Montclair, New Jersey. He is the proud father of Edward W. Gordon, III. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of South Carolina in 1998. Edward also earned a Master's in Music Education from New Jersey City University in 2002, and a Master's in Educational Leadership in 2003. He is a Certified Principal for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.Mr. Gordon has over 20 years of experience in education and has led staff and students from preschool through high school. He was one of three graduates of the PhillyPLUS School Turnaround Program, a selective residency program focused on serving underperforming schools.Edward hosts a weekly broadcast entitled The Principal's Office where he highlights educational stakeholders who are making a difference in their lives, the lives of others and with others. He is the CEO of Gordon Leadership Academy, LLC, a company that coaches and mentors aspiring and current school leaders globally. His motto is, “If I can help somebody, then my living shall not be in vain.”In this conversation, we discuss: ✅What's really behind school attendance issues, and what happens when the school vision doesn't align with the student body and community.✅What's the difference between coaching, mentoring, therapy, and consulting? How can people in education and healthcare both deliver and use these services to lead fulfilling careers? ✅Why and how educators, leaders, and therapists can form partnerships with local businesses and community organizations to better serve students. You can connect with Edward on LinkedIn here and on Facebook here. You can find The School Leader Reflective Journal on Amazon here. You can also find links to his other resources here. Be sure to check out the BE podcast network for educators and aspiring leaders.
