#169 – If you have ever found yourself thinking, “why does essay writing feel so hard?” you are not alone. In this episode, I share 5 reasons why essays often feel overwhelming, confusing or frustrating—and what you can do about each one. We will explore why you were never properly taught how to write essays, why traditional study methods often make things harder, and why high-stakes assignments leave no room for practice. You will also hear why outdated frameworks like PEEL are not helping you and how you might be working incredibly hard but not always in the most effective way. If essay writing feels like a slog, there is nothing wrong with you—you just need better support, clearer methods, and more strategic tools. I will also introduce you to my brand-new training, The Essay Fix, which is open for enrolment now. Tune in to learn practical shifts you can make right away to make essay writing feel easier, more focused and less overwhelming.

This week on Typology, I sat down with my dear friend, therapist and spiritual director, Michael Cusick for a raw, wise, and deeply compassionate conversation about the connection between attachments and our path to healing. Michael—founder of Restoring the Soul and a true guide for the journey inward—helps us unpack the idea that our symptoms (anxiety, compulsions, burnout, you name it) aren't signs we're broken…but sacred signals that our soul is calling for care. We talk about: How trauma, shame, and burnout stand in the way of our relationship with God  Why “trying harder” doesn't lead to transformation What spiritual bypassing actually looks like—and how to avoid it The Four S's of attachment -- seeing, soothing, safety, and security – and the crucial role they play in spiritual healing This is one of those episodes you'll want to listen to more than once and maybe share with a friend who's in the thick of it. ==================================================== CONNECT WITH IAN: Website: https://ianmorgancron.com Podcast: https://typologypodcast.com Online Learning: https://typologyinstitute.com Find Your Type: https://typologyinstitute.com/assessment The Fix: https://ianmorgancron.com/thefix   FOLLOW IAN: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ianmorgancron Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ianmorgancron LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ianmorgancron/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/imcron   FOLLOW TYPOLOGY PODCAST: https://www.instagram.com/typologypodcast https://www.facebook.com/typologypodcast

#167 – You worked hard. You followed the guidance. You poured hours into your essay… and still didn't get the mark you hoped for. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm unpacking the only two reasons why your essay grades aren't higher—and why these problems have nothing to do with your intelligence, effort or potential. You'll learn how misunderstanding the question and writing at the wrong level are the most common (and fixable) reasons students lose marks. I'll walk you through the signs to look out for, the types of feedback that hint at these issues and the specific study skills that can turn things around. Whether you're aiming to pass confidently or push your marks higher, this episode will help you close the gap between the grade you got and the one you deserve.

Send us a textValéry Psyché takes us on a fascinating journey from her physics studies in France to becoming a pioneering researcher and educator in AI education at TELUS University in Quebec. This conversation reveals the complex layers of distance learning design, where teams of experts collaborate to create engaging online learning environments that keep students motivated despite physical and temporal separation.Behind the scenes of asynchronous online education, we discover a meticulous process involving linguistic experts, graphic designers, programmers, and rights specialists who transform simple courses into comprehensive digital experiences. Psyché shares practical engagement strategies - from expert interview videos to reflection journals and interactive activities - all carefully crafted to maintain student attention and facilitate meaningful learning without real-time instruction.The democratization of generative AI has forced a significant educational pivot. As students increasingly leverage AI tools for assignments, institutions are developing new assessment approaches focused on personalized, experience-based learning that AI can't easily simulate. Psyché's research exemplifies this adaptation through tools like Ecopia AI, which provides structured AI guidance for teachers designing lessons, and specialized chatbots that function as learning companions rather than simple question-answering systems.Looking ahead, Psyché envisions AI systems that adapt to individual learning needs - generating visualizations for complex concepts, creating frameworks for students with special needs, and adjusting difficulty levels based on identified misunderstandings. The ultimate challenge isn't just developing sophisticated AI tools but teaching students to use these technologies to enhance genuine learning rather than bypass it. Are you ready to embrace this educational transformation? Join the conversation about how AI is reshaping our approach to teaching and learning.

80% of Champlain College graduates land jobs in their field of study—because the college designed its model to make students workforce ready. In this episode, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Alex Hernandez, President of Champlain College, about how higher education institutions can build their innovation muscle to realign academic programs with workforce needs and improve graduate outcomes. Building the Innovation Muscle Strategic planning is treated as an annual, living process—not a static document. Faculty co-design new academic models, driving institution-wide innovation. Innovation is embedded in culture, not dependent on top-down initiatives. Aligning Curriculum with Workforce Demands Champlain's Upside-Down Curriculum introduces major-specific coursework in year one. Students access internships early, building career experience before graduation. Programs are shaped by employer input to match real workforce needs. Leveraging Employer and Community Partnerships Industry partnerships inform curriculum and create pathways to employment. Dual enrollment initiatives like Vermont Cybersports expand access and impact. Regional collaboration addresses talent shortages and economic development. Three Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards Clarify the North Star – Align planning and programs around a focused mission: preparing students for work, life, and impact. Focus Resources Strategically – Prioritize high-value initiatives and say no to what doesn't serve institutional goals. Build Institutional Trust – Innovation happens at the speed of trust. Engage faculty and staff in designing the future. Higher education leaders have an opportunity to evolve their institutions through intentional planning, faculty-driven innovation, and academic realignment that prepares graduates for today's—and tomorrow's—workforce. Read the transcript on our website: https://changinghighered.com/higher-education-innovation-builds-workforce-ready-graduates/ #HigherEdInnovation #StrategicPlanning #AcademicRealignment #WorkforceReadyGraduates About Our Podcast Guest Alex Hernandez is the tenth president of Champlain College, a private independent college in Burlington, VT renowned for its innovative approach to getting students Ready: Ready for Work, Ready for Life, and Ready to Make a Difference.
