A Safe Place to Grow and Take Risks: Robyn Pennington and Lori Seager on Volunteer Leadership at WACUBO
<p>Somewhere this weekend, someone who runs a university finance office will spend their Saturday rebuilding a set of trail steps they'll never climb. No one's paying them; the hikers who use those steps in three years won't know their name. They do it anyway — and they'll tell you it's the clearest thinking they do all year.</p><p>That instinct runs under this whole conversation. Robyn Pennington — Chief of Staff for Business & Finance at California State University — is completing her term as WACUBO's president; Lori Seager — CFO and Vice President for Finance at Colorado College — is stepping into it. They join Howard Teibel at the moment of handoff, in a season when higher education is being asked to justify its own worth. It's terrain Howard knows from the inside: Teibel Education spends its days helping institutions navigate exactly these transitions.</p><p>Together, they reframe succession as something more generous than replacement, describe a volunteer community that's become a place to try things and get them wrong, and land on a real surprise — that the most valuable mentorship sometimes runs uphill, from the newest people in the room to the most seasoned. For anyone weighing whether to step into something they're not sure they're ready for, it's a convincing case for saying yes.</p><p><strong>Links & Notes</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.wacubo.org/"><strong>WACUBO — Western Association of College and University Business Officers</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/wacubo"><strong>Connect on LinkedIn</strong></a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p>

James Taylor and Howard Teibel on AI, Creativity, and the Future of Work
<p>In 1997, Garry Kasparov lost a chess match to IBM’s Deep Blue. The easy story was that the machine had won and the human had lost. The age of human superiority in chess was over.</p><p>Kasparov saw something different and asked a more useful question: What if the future of chess was not human versus machine, but human plus machine?</p><p>He called it advanced chess, or centaur chess. And when skilled amateurs using ordinary computers began outperforming both grandmasters alone and machines alone, a new possibility appeared. The strongest player was not the human. It was not the computer. It was the quality of the partnership between them.</p><p>That is the question now facing higher education.</p><p>AI is no longer a distant technology conversation. It is entering the daily work of institutions — finance, enrollment, advising, research, communications, planning, operations, and student support. The question is not whether AI will matter. It already does.</p><p>The leadership question is different:</p><ul><li>How do we use these tools without surrendering judgment?</li><li>How do we increase capacity without weakening trust?</li><li>How do we move faster without losing the human connection?</li></ul><p>This week on Navigating Change, Howard Teibel sits down with James Taylor — global keynote speaker, former music industry executive, and one of the leading voices on creativity and artificial intelligence — at the WACUBO Annual Meeting in Las Vegas.</p><p>James works with leaders around the world on what AI means for creativity, work, and organizational life. In our conversation, he offers a useful reframing for higher education business officers and institutional leaders: the future of leadership is not simply management. It is orchestration, openness, and curiosity.</p><p>At a time when institutions are under pressure to do more with less, James reminds us that technology alone will not create the future. Leaders will.</p><p>But only if they learn how to create stronger partnerships between people, tools, judgment, and purpose.</p><p><strong>Links and Resources</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.jamestaylor.me/"><strong>James Taylor's official site</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.wacubo.org/"><strong>WACUBO (Western Association of College and University Business Officers)</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://teibelinc.com/services-4#education-programs"><strong>Teibel Education Programs</strong></a></li></ul>

The Human Side of Leadership • A Conversation with Nico Washington and Bill Guerrero.
<p>In a moment when higher education finds itself pressed on all sides—demographics, policy shifts, the financial realities of running institutions—this live conversation from the EACUBO Annual Meeting offers something increasingly rare: clarity grounded in humanity. Howard Teibel invites Bill Guerrero and Nico Washington to reflect not on strategy alone, but on the personal philosophies that have shaped their careers and their impact.</p><p>Bill shares how his journey from first-gen student athlete to seasoned financial leader has always been driven by a single metric: student impact. His willingness to “follow the puck” toward the real challenges facing institutions reveals a mindset that embraces change rather than fears it. Nico brings a complementary perspective—rooted in her early years balancing work, education, and parenthood—that centers empathy, intuition, and authentic connection as core leadership tools. Together, they illuminate the often-unseen emotional and relational dimensions of the CBO role.</p><p>Across discussions of Ikigai, institutional partnerships, and the myth of certainty, the conversation becomes a guide for leaders seeking purpose in the midst of volatility. What emerges is a portrait of leadership defined not by hierarchy or job titles, but by curiosity, confidence, and a profound commitment to the people and communities higher education serves.</p><p>This episode challenges listeners to rethink how they approach professional change—and to consider what it means to lead as a whole human being.</p>
