Three Brite Ideas on How to Thrive and Stay Relevant in a Changing World
In every episode, we ask our guest to summarize the conversation with three brite ideas.
Here are Nena’s brite ideas on thriving and staying relevant in a changing world:
1. Set aside an hour weekly to watch a webinar, read a relevant article, or visit another university’s website to inspire yourself. Nena does this on a Friday and calls it “Friday Inspiration”.
2. Develop your data analytics skills to understand how to use data smartly to understand and highlight the impact of your work.
3. Find a mentor and be a mentor. Mentoring brings additional perspectives, helps you do your job well, and enables you to give back.
