Sleigh the Day: Show Up as Your Authentic Self in Admissions - TUC Great Hall
Admissions is high-paced and high-pressure, it can be easy to slip into “autopilot” or feel like you need to wear a “professional mask” at your job. But the most meaningful connections happen when we show up as our unapologetic self, whether you’re on the road, reading apps or presenting to prospective students. We’ll explore what it means to lead with identity, values and vulnerability. Professionalism is not “one size fits all”, you’ll make a difference by being uniquely you. Topics we can cover include creating boundaries of authenticity in professional spaces, navigating imposter syndrome, building meaningful relationships with colleagues and students, practical ways to integrate your personality into presentations and creating a culture of authenticity on your team.
