YOUR UIGUIDES

we asked some of these experienced Fellows what it was like to work with you My team this fall had very similar experiences — not having the knowledge or experience on where to go or how to do it well. I turned my frustration from many years of trial and failures as a Fellow into a teaching aspect for my cohort.

What was a learning moment for you? I experienced a lot of complicated and difficult to understand roadblocks for anything I tried to do on my campus when I was a Fellow in training.

After lots of talks and planning, they were able to better understand their environment and build a substantially more robust plan going forward for benefit of all the programs they wanted to impact. Not only was it rewarding to see their growth and new knowledge, but the experience helped me translate my years of frustration into an asset for others. It felt like they taught me more than I taught them!
