The FreeNote: Thoughts on Working in Student Affairs (Podcast)

Retro MicrophoneThe Higher Ed Career Coach Show with Sean Cook returns today with a “freenote” (free keynote) for student affairs professionals. Suitable for using in training meetings or team development, if you don’t have the time or money to hire me or another speaker to kick off your fall training. Look for a video version and downloadable handouts and script soon here at the site.

Based on parting thoughts I shared with colleagues in Residence Life upon my departure in Fall 2009, the “FreeNote” gives a dozen brief lessons culled from over 15 years working in student affairs.

Professionals (new and not-so-new) will appreciate the perspectives and hopefully the humor herein. If not, they may at least find something worth disagreeing with.

This episode features pre-recorded content. The live show will return later in July or early August.

Notice: This episode is best suited to adult listeners and contains a couple of instances of mildly coarse language. Nothing too crazy, but it’s probably best to listen yourself before playing for the whole staff.

A Note From the Author:

Hello Student Affairs Colleagues. Right now many of you are either planning or starting your professional staff training, depending on your institution’s academic calendar. I remember how tough it was to fill the schedule with worthwhile activities, so over the next month or so, I’m going to share content on my website and podcast that you can hopefully use in staff training. The first piece is this week’s podcast, which I am calling a “FreeNote” (free keynote), where I share some thoughts and perspectives on working in Student Affairs. I also plan to post outlines for some of the better staff discussions I had during training, and maybe even later, I might share some RA training and orientation activities. I hope you can use this stuff. I’ll be making some downloads available soon, and possibly a brief video of this same talk.
