The challenges for university presidents keep coming, from Middle East protests to standardized testing and admissions debates, to complaints over classroom content and pedagogical methods. The American public has little faith in college administrators right now, according to polling, and it's often unclear how institutions can move forward and assuage the critics. Not to mention how to best educate our future leaders and citizens. A panel of wide-ranging experts on college life tackles these issues head on at the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival, sharing examples from their schools and answering audience questions. Two college presidents, Dr. Sian Beilock of Dartmouth and L. Song Richardson, formerly of Colorado College, bring the perspective of leadership to the conversation. Theo Baker, a Stanford University student and investigative journalist known for exposing falsifications in the former Stanford president's research, speaks to the student experience at a well-resourced institution. And the CEO of U.S. News and World Report, Eric Gertler, explains how the higher education watchdog publication is observing the landscape. Financial Times editorial board member and columnist, and provost of Kings College, Cambridge University in the UK, Gillian Romaine Tett, moderates the discussion. aspenideas.org

In this episode we discuss a rare creature: the female higher education leader.  Indeed, according to the American Council on Education's most recent American College President Study, women remain outnumbered by men in the college presidency by a ratio of 2:1, with about 33 per cent of presidencies held by women. Women in higher education were also more likely to work a part-time or reduced schedule or postpone a job search or promotion to care for minor dependents We'd be hard pressed to find a better person to speak with about female leadership in higher education than Sian Block, an award-winning cognitive scientist and an expert on performing under pressure. She is also the 19th president of Dartmouth, and the first woman elected to the position in the institution's 250-year history. Sian speaks about navigating failure and dealing with anxiety on the job. She also gives some very helpful advice on how to turn imposter syndrome into something positive and shares her personal experience of female leadership, a journey that began with working in the provost office at the University of Chicago before serving as president of Barnard College at Columbia University and then moving to Dartmouth in 2023.

Many of us make use of control agendas and get caught up in managing our experiences to be exactly the way we want them. Sometimes this is a good, rewarding type of behavior, but more often than not, perfectionistic behavior can leave you feeling stuck in a cycle of failure. Dr. Clarissa Ong, author of The Anxious Perfectionist, is an expert in the intersection of anxiety and perfectionism. On this episode of POTC, she and Debbie discuss this intersection and explore practical strategies for overcoming problematic, perfectionistic tendencies. Join us in this episode for advice on moving from rigidity into flexibility, practical strategies for distinguishing between helpful and harmful perfectionism, and so much more!

To listeners of this podcast, it's no secret that Tai loves math. But he knows that a lot of people, including his friends, definitely don't feel the same way. In this episode, Tai uncovers why math gets such a bad rap, and if there's any truth to the well-worn phrase: “I'm just not a math person!” In this episode Tai talks to: - Sian Beilock, cognitive scientist and president of Barnard College at Columbia University - Daniel Ansari, Canada Research Chair in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience & Learning at Western University - Mariam Hazhir, math teacher in Surrey, B.C.

“This less-than-optimal performance doesn't merely reflect a random fluctuation and skill level. We all have performance ups and downs. This choke occurs in response to a highly stressful situation. It's when you or an individual athlete, actor, musician or student perform worse than what you have done in the past.” - Sian Beilock, Choke.

Sian Beilock studies how performance anxiety can be exasperated or alleviated in the simple strategies we use to ensure success under pressure. In addition to that, Sian is the president at Barnard College at Columbia University. Barnard is one of the most selective academic institutions in the US. Barnard is devoted to empowering exceptional women to change the world and the way we think about it. Prior to her appointment as President, she served as the University of Chicago Executive Vice Provost. She also worked in the Psychology department. Sian is a cognitive scientist by training and is one of the world's leading experts on the brain science behind choking under pressure.   Sian had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “One of the hardest parts of learning how to become a successful leader is learning how to delegate and that you can't do everything” (5:45). “We're limited capacity people. We can only focus on so many things at once” (6:00). “My favorite part of being in a leadership position is when other people have really good ideas and I get to help propel them forward” (8:40). “When you have different perspectives at the table and people can speak openly and honestly without fear of retribution, you get the best ideas” (9:00). “We are teaching students at Barnard how to think. Not what to think, but how to think” (14:10). “The greatest performers sometimes aren't the best coaches. It can be hard for them to understand the mistakes of someone who is a novice or someone who's not as skilled as them” (19:20). “I'm a big proponent of having multiple selves. All of the research is pretty clear on that having multiple aspects of your own identity that you can enjoy and focus on is really a good mental health buffer” (23:50). “It's hard not to be able to do everything” (25:20). “For me it's about having the best people at the table” (28:05). “There's something special about having women leading and teaching you, and about debunking the stereotype that women can't do it” (29:00). “Our students come out being willing to speak their minds and being willing to be uncomfortable” (31:15). “The classroom is a brave space, not a safe space. It's totally okay to feel uncomfortable in the classroom” (31:20). “We want you women who have failed, who feel okay taking risks and knowing it's not going to be perfect” (32:00). “Everyone can feel like an imposter, it's not just women” (34:45). “Where I get the most satisfaction is when something is stressful, and I don't know if I can do it all, and I figure out what route we need to take to get there” (35:30). “Figuring out what you don't know is so important for success” (36:50). “Pressure can be both internal and external” (44:00). “If you're going to lead an institution, you have to understand what values that institution holds (46:00). “You can't come in from the outside and just impose your values on a place. You've got to understand what they ethos is and where you can have an impact” (47:00). “I don't think you can do well academically if you don't feel well outside of the classroom” (50:40). “No one can do anything alone anymore. We all need that support” (51:50). “It's got to be fun to work hard in whatever you're doing” (56:00).   Make sure to check out Sian's website, in addition to watching her TedTalk and buying her book “Choke” anywhere you can buy books!

It's playoff season in baseball and people ask me all the time, “Were you ever nervous when you were out there?” or “How did you handle the pressure of those big moments?” Well, let me tell you, I always had butterflies in my stomach when I got up to bat, but butterflies aren't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, those signs of stress and pressure, when you reframe them positively in your mind, can heighten your focus and quiet your mind. A quiet mind is key to success under pressure. When we enter a pressure packed situation we have to trust our preparation and allow ourselves to flow and not overthink every little thing that can go wrong. This was my experience as a baseball player and now a public speaker and it's even backed up from research by Sian Beilock in the Harvard Business Review. Links: Why talented people fail under pressure

Since March 2020, women have stopped working, either voluntarily or due to layoffs, at higher rates than men, leading experts to label the economic crisis a ‘she-cession.’ Many women who’ve left the workforce are single moms who need childcare but can’t access it during the pandemic. The COVID-19 recession has affected groups in different ways. Black moms have been more likely than Latina moms and white moms to quit their jobs. Latina moms were more likely to be laid off than white and Black moms. This is in part because Latinas were more likely to work face-to-face service positions, such as in restaurants and hotels. Experts forecast that loss of skills, tenure and income among women and women of color will shape the U.S. economy for years to come by making it more difficult for moms of color to re-enter the workforce, earn the same amount as their white counterparts and reach supervisor and management positions.In this episode, economic opportunities reporter Charisse Jones talks with cognitive scientist and president of Barnard College Dr. Sian Beilock about how employers can get women back in the workforce and why it’s so important they do so.Additional reading:How can women get back to work in the middle of a pandemic?Without paid leave, people of color must make an ‘impossible choice’Black, Latina, immigrant moms are losing jobs as COVID-19 childcare crisis grows

How Barnard’s President Sets Female Students on the Path to Success Sian Beilock is president of Barnard College, a liberal arts college for women in New York City. The mission of the school is to develop its students to become agile, resilient, responsible, and creative in order to lead and serve their society, and Sian eagerly describes some of the school’s groundbreaking programs that fulfill that mission. “We started a new program this year that I'm really excited about called Access Barnard,” she tells Women on the Move host Sam Saperstein. “It’s a home, both physical and virtual, for first-generation, low-income, and international students. So populations that may not have experience navigating American higher ed.”  Access Barnard offers these students help with everything from finding a mentor to budgeting for living expenses to asking professors for help. Sian says this program is particularly important because the school’s acceptance policy is need-blind: Barnard doesn’t consider financial need when reviewing applications. Since Barnard is very focused on preparing women to lead, the school has created multi-level resources to help alums succeed once they’ve graduated. One such resource is Beyond Barnard, a one-stop shop that students utilize from day one to learn about different career paths and connect with professionals in the school’s broader network. Sian explains that connecting her students to female role models across industries is a huge priority. “At Barnard, 60% of our faculty are women, including faculty in the sciences,” she says. “And when you see women who are excelling in fields where they're not traditionally represented, when you see women leaders, it lets you know that ‘people like me’ can do this.” Self-care as leadership prepSian emphasizes that her school is dedicated to instilling its graduates with the skills and knowledge they need to achieve long-term independence. The school’s new Francine LeFrak Center gives all Barnard students access to comprehensive physical and mental health, holistic wellness, and financial literacy support services, and underlines Barnard’s commitment. “We know that women often stay in relationships for financial reasons and that women even who are successful in their own careers, aren't overseeing their own finances,” Sian explains. “These are part of the financial literacy conversations that will take place at our new wellbeing center.” Watching Barnard students gain confidence, expertise, and wisdom makes her job incredibly rewarding, Sian tells Sam. “Our students are going to go out and change the world,” she emphasizes. “I know young people are not going to stand by and go back to the old normal or accept systemic inequality issues around healthcare, race, and education. I have so much confidence and pride in these young women, and I can't wait to see what they produce next.”

Juliet knows she’s one of the best tennis players in her community league, but whenever she gets on the court, she’s paralyzed by self-consciousness. Did the crowd notice how bad that shot was? With all eyes on her, Juliet keeps bungling big points and losing matches she should win. On this episode of How To!, new host David Epstein brings on Sian Beilock, president of Barnard College and the author of Choke, to walk us through the science of why sometimes we play our worst when it matters the most. For Juliet to ace her game, Sian says, she needs to practice being self-conscious and then learn to push past it. It’s all too common for women to shy away from natural competition for fear of “not being nice,” but playing to win doesn’t mean you have to be a jerk—advice that applies to Juliet’s life off the court as well.  If you liked this episode, check out “How To Perform Under Pressure.” Do you have a seemingly impossible problem?

Like it's something you can learn, you can learn to perform better, and you need a toolbox of techniques. And so what we've been doing in my research is studying actually what happens in the brain when you use a particular technique and high pressure situation, how that works and how we can implement them regardless of where you are, whether it's taking a test or giving a talk or doing a concert piano performance, and I think, you know, there's always more work to do there until we don't have stressful situations, which doesn't seem to be like it's going to happen anytime soon.”  - Sian Beilock Connect with Sian: Twitter  Sianbeilock.com  Instagram   Choke: What the Secrets of the Brain Reveal About Getting It Right When You Have To Book How to get involved Malorie has become an expert in helping people remove their mindset blocks, so they can experience the growth in their business and decrease in stress they desire.

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways People are both chokers and thriversThey may choke in some pressure situations, like a test, but thrive in other stressful situations, like a handball gameThe process of visualization and actual practice helps train your brain to succeed at that taskIf you do choke, don’t listen to much to your negative inner voice and be compassionate with yourself“That inner voice can be really mean to ourselves” – Sian BeilockIt also helps to talk to yourself in third person as if you were talking to a friend When you’re experiencing negative thoughts or worry, write them down. This will make them less likely to pop up later and you’ll dwell on them less.Sian recites a quote from Yogi Berra: “How can you hit and think at the same time?”“It’s about doing the reps, putting the hard work in, and then when everything is on the line, throwing everything aside and just going for it” – Sian BeilockInstead of telling your kids they’re a natural at a certain task, tell them that hard work and effort will made them good at itThat way the next time they don’t succeed at something, it isn’t because they aren’t talented or gifted, it’s because they didn’t put in the required work to be good at that skill“Just that tweak in how you talk about it can be so important” – Sian BeilockThe physiological response of being scared and excited is the same, how we interpret it is what makes the difference“Reminding yourself, yeah these sweaty palms and beating heart mean I’m ready to go…it matters, just saying that” – Sian BeilockRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.org"When you get really good at something, you can mess yourself up by thinking too much."Lewis is joined by Sian Beilock, the President of Barnard of College and a cognitive scientist who specializes in performance under pressure.

LHI's #HearHerStory podcast features Sian Beilock, President of Barnard College, renown cognitive scientist, and author of "Choke." Sian became the 8th President of Barnard College in July, 2017. A cognitive scientist by training, she is focused on further developing Barnard as a singular institution. She is raising the College’s eminence in math, science, and technology to parallel its renown in the arts and humanities. Building on our unique relationship with Columbia University, President Beilock is increasing options for students to transition directly from Barnard into a range of master’s programs at Columbia, including international relations, public health, and engineering. In this interview, Sian talks pursuing a career in academia and equipping young female students with tools and resources to overcome self-doubt. She details her experiences as well as techniques in tackling anxiety and performing up to one's utmost potential. Featured Quotes: "I think whenever we're in a situation where there may be historical cues or cues in the environment that signal we don't belong, it can cause us to start worrying and doubting ourselves. This is certainly true for women in male-dominated fields. In my research, what I argue is that those worries and self doubt are all cognitive load." "We know that simple things like getting your worries down on paper can help download them from your mind. We know that focusing on why you should succeed rather than why you should fail works as well. Talking to someone who can help you talk through these things can be really important too. Our thoughts can get the best of us and instead of worrying, we can actually harness them in a way that can be productive." Check out the interview on the LHI publication here.
