Does a job that once brought you joy and purpose sometimes feel like a relentless grind of grueling days and intractable problems? Is the strategy of working longer and harder in times of great stress no longer functional or sustainable?

You are not alone! Across higher education, we are seeing extraordinary levels of depletion, burnout, and turnover. But there is an alternative.

We can let go of our “fire-fighter-in-chief” modus operandi and embrace a new leadership paradigm. When we move from overextending and rescuing to co-designing, from heroism and self-sacrifice to empowering those we lead, we liberate our creativity and vision, and foster equitable, highly motivated campus cultures.

In this webinar, women of color thought-leaders who have served in senior administrative roles shared concrete strategies they have used to take off the superhero’s cape, liberate their leadership, and build capacity in the communities they serve.
