The conversation continues. UC Berkeley's University Registrar and For the Record Co-Host, Sarah Reed, interviews colleagues at the 2023 AACRAO Annual Meeting about what resonates personally and professionally for them in this multi-part series. Sarah was inspired by the 108th Annual Conference Opening Plenary Speaker, BD Wong, and the vulnerability and strength he shared when unpacking his personal and professional journey and intersecting identities.  In a nod to BD, Sarah invites each guest to share how they have been seen/unseen and where they are on their own journey towards complete authenticity.  In conclusion, Sarah invites you to take a moment of pause and self-reflection with her before closing out with today's affirmation.

Key Takeaways:

We have a unique journey, and each of our journeys makes us the perfect fit for our line of work (a.k.a. there is no one “right” way to advance or become ___ [insert job title].  As shared by each guest’s unique journey, part of what makes you, you -your talents and skills- make you perfect for the role. Tips and tricks for leading teams.  Moving to permanently remote work- can work!  There is power in modifying work language – how it can be used to enhance connection and belonging or break it.   Our journey and store are what make us, and even painful experiences can blossom fruit when used as a gift to inspire connection or service to others.  Processing our “authenticity” journey can be perceived differently across generations and space, place, and openness to connection.  What untapped possibilities and synchronicities can happen when we make room for “woo-woo” in Higher Ed. and in life?

The 2023 conversation continues and concludes.

Key Part 3 Takeaways:

Students know how to apply to college, but they may not be exposed to all the other steps and aspects needed (ACT, SAT, apply for housing, etc.) to successfully navigate the transition from high school to College.  There is a critical need to reassess the pathways to higher education and the way to support adult and returning students.  Let us not hear, “But this is the way we’ve always….” This conversation flips assumptions and traditional frameworks on their head!  There are perhaps untapped opportunities to more closely align Registrar and Admissions department work and hand-offs and to incorporate those closure connection opportunities (and training on what we do and the process) at AACRAO!  #Real talk about the impact of COVID on the workforce, managing the responsibility of keeping the office afloat during staffing cuts.  It’s important to listen to your needs both at work and at the AACRAO conferences.

Dr. Alex Knisely is talking to, or with, or even maybe mostly listening to Prof. Dr. Michael Trauner, of Vienna – Professor Trauner has a lot to say on today’s topic, on which he recently provided the keynote address at the May, 2023, annual meeting of ESPGHAN. The topic is bile acids: They’re paracrine and endocrine hormones, not just lipid solubilisers ; modified versions offer promise in modulating and treating many paediatric and adult hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal processes and disorders ; in short, physiology has no magicks in which they are not involved. They are, taken together, a lapis philosophorum or rather hepatogastroenterologorum. That is, the subject is alchemically complex, and to consult the recent review of the field by Prof. Dr. Trauner and his colleague Dr. Claudia Fuchs (Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022;19:432-50) may help us all get the most from his contribution today. Please note: This is the second of three podcasts related to annual- meeting events, a week apart, with a return to Journal Club after another week. Mark your calendars for Prof Christos Tsivinikos on aerodigestive-disease services to paediatric patients, available on 8 June, and then on 15 June Dr Andreas Jenke — Journal Club again! 

We are talking to Dr. Elena Cernat, of Leeds out of Romania, and the topic is oven-fresh : What was the 2023 annual meeting of ESPGHAN like? Elena last year gave us her opinions on interesting and very likely significant presentations at the previous annual meeting, and the Education Committee earlier this month again sent her out onto the convention floor to reconnoitre for more of the same. She came back lugging a sackful of those opinions, and she’ll share them with you in what you’re about to hear. Please note: This is the first of three podcasts related to annual-meeting events, a week apart, with a return to Journal Club after another week. Mark your calendars for Prof. Michael Trauner on the lapis philosophorum of hepatogastroenterologic disease, bile acids, available on 1 June; Prof Christos Tsivinikos on aerodigestive-disease services to paediatric patients, available on 8 June, and then on 15 June Dr Andreas Jenke — Journal Club again! 

Portia LaMarr (HEARD co-host), Loida Utley (Transfer Tea), and Sarah Reed (For the Record co-host) took a moment at the AACRAO Annual Meeting to record this cross-podcast conversation. Hear them talk about opportunities for connection between professions (e.g., financial aid, registrar, and admissions); where they feel seen (and where they haven’t); and how they have learned to advocate for themselves. Oh, and Portia’s unwavering commitment to figuring out what birds people are. It’s a great conversation!

The discipline of execution covers meetings that matter, uses metrics and measures that matter, and tackles priorities that matter. The first meeting worth having is the daily huddle. These 15-minute meetings involve the team, round-robin style, and are best used for sharing quick insights and updates for the coming day.

Anything longer must be discussed in the next meeting you should be having, the weekly meeting. Every department must have a weekly meeting that reviews quarterly priorities called rocks.

Monthly meetings are for larger companies with middle management and these focus on education and building culture. The quarterly meeting takes 1 to 2 days while the annual meeting takes 3 to 5 days. These meetings are typically offsite and cover strategic and execution planning with the one-page business plan.

Tune in to learn all about maximizing meetings and being intentional with them in this episode of The Disruptive Successor Show.

HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

JONATHAN: Share quick updates during the daily huddle

"What is it that is the top priority that I want to get done this day, that I'm going to communicate to the group, and I'm going to sort of expect them to hold me accountable so that tomorrow, I'm not saying the same thing."

JONATHAN: Weekly meetings are best for making decisions

"These meetings are most important for identifying, discussing, and solving issues. So decision-making, brainstorming, troubleshooting, making decisions on one or two key issues, opportunities, challenges, and quarterly rocks."

JONATHAN: The one-page business plan explained

"We use a tool called the one-page business plan, and the purpose of this tool is to really put our vision down on a piece of paper, and to answer several simple questions around your dream, which is, simply put, who, what, when, where, how, why, and the always difficult, should we or shouldn't we."
