Are you looking to make a change? Are you interested in starting a search for a new faculty or administrative position? I have interviewed hundreds of people for faculty and administrative positions and can help you search for your next appointment, help prepare you for the interview and help in negotiating your new package.

Let’s discuss where you are to make a plan for where you want to go. Discussing your past experience, current needs, and future goals with an objective third party can go a long way in navigating the changes you might need to make. Through one-on-one meetings, I can help create a plan that lays out a future direction, and together we can lay out actionable steps to reach goals and prepare for opportunities when they arise.

The learning curve as a new dean or provost may be greater than anticipated. As someone who has served in both capacities, I am happy to avail my experience and share best practices while we discuss challenges, ideas, and solutions to help you succeed. I can also assist with strategy in building and nurturing a team, improving communication across departments, and acquiring resources.

It’s always a good time to curate and refine your portfolio. With years of experience, I know we are all always genuinely learning. So let’s work together, no matter where you are in the process, to build or strengthen your portfolio and get constructive feedback so that you are positioned for success.

How do you make the transition from faculty to administrator? You know your discipline and how to create a course and do research. None of which prepares you for administration. Over the 30 years as an administrator, I have seen the same look in the eyes of many new administrators straight from the faculty. The look says, “What did I just commit to? Can I change my mind?" If you are considering administration, let’s talk it through. I can help prepare you for a position and be with you through the start of your appointment for as long as you need.
