Activity

Check out a national study of current career college students who attended community colleges in the past.  Career colleges beat the community college on 13 of the 14 aspects of the college experience.  Go to www.nortonnorris.com to view the studies.

Very inspirational to see you include, "...to learn from one another." That surely makes for a motivational environment. I'm curious, Virgie, it sounds as if you have control within a classroom setting but how does the environment outside your classroom impact your motivation to lead?

As leaders, it's important to proactively seek differing viewpoints.  We just completed a national mystery shop of the community college sector and a survey of career college students who attended community colleges in the past.  Go to www.nortonnorris.com for a copy of the studies AND watch an interesting video showcasing community college marketing. You might be surprised at what we found!

Wow that had to be a challenging position! Based on your earlier response, it sounds as if you learned a lot about superior communication.
Yep! It's all about the student, isn't it?! Sometimes "internal customer service" is the first step in providing exceptional service to those who use our services. Sounds as if you already knew that though!

Sounds like a perfect fit then. My guess is you have a lot of energy that you put into your work with others which may be a direct result of organizational "fit". Wonderful that you found a career that aligns with your preferences and style. Continued success!
Flexibility in communication gives you unlimited potential to connect with others. This is what we call "requisite variety". Believe it or not, there are some who don't have the flexibility you do and they miss out on lots of opportunities. So keep up the good work!
Interesting! So based on that, I guess I won't tell you what to do but I will challenge you to see how many more attributes you share with each of the generations.
That is a good idea David. It would be wonderful if others just copied the positive attributes but what do you do when they don't follow along?
