   Lessons from Camille Brockett, DNP, FNP-BC, AGACNP

   Camille Brockett, DNP, FNP-BC, AGACNP is a Clinical Associate Professor at the Nell Hodgson-Woodruff School of Nursing and the Interim Specialty Director for the Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program. In this episode, Camille talks about her journey into academia (from senior clinical instructor through to a ranked faculty member) and how serving as an education leader requires skills that are a combination of leadership, mentorship, and collaboration in order to support both faculty and students. Her words of wisdom include "leadership, to me, is less about managing tasks and more about really connecting with people, whether those people are students, faculty, colleagues, and really just creating a sense of trust and collaboration among the people that you are leading. Taking the time to listen and understand what the needs are of the people that you're leading. So you can be an effective leader, you just don't want to be a leader in name, but you really want to be effective.", "don't forget to take care of yourself and also giving yourself grace. Not everything is going to work out perfectly all the time, all at once and as you want it. You want to be able to celebrate small wins, learn from your setbacks, and also trust that you are truly making a difference." and "Don't be afraid to use your voice. I think it's really easy for that imposter syndrome to take root sometimes in us, and just know that you are in a particular space at a particular time for a reason, right? Nothing is happenstance, and this is just my belief. And that you have something to offer, never feel like you have to prove yourself to someone or you have to change courses in order for someone to see you. Just stay the course. Do the best that you can be, know that you are worthy, you bring value to the table, and just be authentic to who you are and people will connect to that".

   Lessons from W. Michael Caudle, PhD

   W. Michael Caudle, PhD is the Director of Graduate Studies for the Environmental Health Sciences PhD program at the Rollins School of Public Health. In this episode, Mike talks about his journey from trained laboratory scientist to discovering his passion for teaching and mentoring. He highlights how important continuing professional development is as the various skills needed to be an effective educator or leader aren't typically taught in PhD or postdoctoral training, therefore educators have to teach themselves or find other resources for that skills training. His words of wisdom include "really focus on being reflective, being able to reflect back on your own experiences and appreciating those experiences and being able to leverage those experiences as you're engaging with students, but at the same time, to be flexible. So understanding that each of those interactions is going to be different and that it's not going to be a one-size-fits-all solution to whatever the issue is." and "If you are someone who maybe doesn't see yourself in the educational space, don't close that door because there are a lot of different ways to educate. It does not have to be in a classroom. It does not even have to be in an academic setting. You are an educator in your community. You are an educator at your dinner table. So there are a lot of ways to educate, to mentor, and to facilitate."
