Bonni Stachowiak: Teaching in Higher Ed

Bonni is the host of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast, Dean of Teaching and Learning and Professor of Business and Management at Vanguard University, and my life partner. Prior to her academic career, she was a human resources consultant and executive officer for a publicly traded company. Bonni is the author of The Productive Online and Offline Professor: A Practical Guide*.

It's been a full year since I launched Coaching for Leaders, so in this special anniversary episode, Bonni and I look at a more personal topic: what leadership lessons we've learned from our son Luke in the first six months of his life. As you'll see, the lessons could apply to many relationships, both personal and professional.

What leadership lessons we've learned (or been reminded of) in our first six months of parenting:

  1. Sleep deprivation can take down anybody.
  2. Expectations are huge…and a bit of grace goes a long way.
  3. No matter how organized you are, you will get barfed on.
  4. There is true joy to be found anywhere and everywhere.
  5. It's really not about you most of the time.
