Dr. Poole and Dr. Bell are wrapping up season 3 of the #podcast with a discussion on ways to #recession-proof your career. 2020 arrived with a vengeance and has taken no prisoners along the way. In every industry, from the #stockmarket to retail to #highereducation, we’ve seen major declines in profits and unimaginable cuts in #humancapital. As we all prepare for a new year, tune in today to learn a few tips and #tools to help you assess your #platinumplan for unexpected change.

#2020 has certainly been an unprecedented whirlwind/hurricane/earthquake/wildfire, but nevertheless we have #persisted. Fortunately, the #fourthquarter or Q4, has afforded us the fresh opportunity to both revisit and reimagine the #achievement we seek as we #transition into a new calendar #year. Join Dr. Poole and Dr. Bell as we provide our #tribe some #strategies to maximize #Q4 and to finish off the year #strong!

As individuals and corporations alike try to regain their footing in the midst of all of this, there also remains a responsibility for institutions of #highereducation to do their part in the work of #antiracism and dismantling some of the historical #barriers for both #students and employees of color. Join Dr. Poole and Dr. Bell for a discussion about how these attempts are falling short and are misusing #womenofcolor to “fix” broken systems and provide all the answers to the #performativeactivism of these institutions.

Tune in as Dr. Bell and Dr. Poole discuss how to remain #motivated during these #unprecedented times while showing ourselves #grace and #prioritizing our #wellness!

Want to gain a profitable return on your educational #investment? Now that you’ve got both the #credentials and the wit to turn those extra years of schooling into an entire #lifestyle change, it time to create #multiplestreamsofincome to not only #securethebag but broaden its reach. Tune in as Dr. Poole and Dr. Bell share some of the ways they’ve put their #degrees to use and how you can add #leverage to those letters behind your name.

Check out this month’s episode where Dr. Bell & Dr. Poole share useful #tips and tools related to how they #relax, #relate, and #release during #stressful times, including right now as we all ride out #covid19.Tune in as they share how they’ve handled the #shifts in their lives as a result of the #coronavirus and what you can do to keep both your #mentalhealth and #educational pursuits as #priorities during this time.

One of the most satisfying feelings is being fulfilled by the work that you do and having the great job that you’re doing being noticed by others. While we often only think of the doctoral experience as a series of courses and writing (seemingly) neverending #dissertations, it is also an evaluative process similar to what we experience in the #jobmarket. In either scenario, the #goal is to not only be viewed as competent to fulfill the role (#doctoralstudent, #associateprofessor, lead #practitioner) but also as having earned the respect of your #supervisor and #colleagues as well as a possible #promotion and/or bump in #salary.

Check out this month’s episode, where Dr. Poole & Dr. Bell honor the #legacy of #KobeBryant and discuss all things #MambaMentality when it comes to #evaluations, #performance, & #promotions.

Over half of #masters and #doctoral #students feel #stressed about their #finances. Additionally, 38% of masters students and 36% of doctoral students #worry about their ability to meet their monthly #expenses. Considering our country’s current #studentloan #debt crisis, looming #recession and battle for affordable #healthcare, it is unsurprising that #graduate #students are eager to learn about #debt #management, #budgeting and #saving, #investing, #planning #retirement, and other aspects of #personal #finance.

Tune in as Dr. Poole and Dr. Bell discuss their personal finance journeys and #advice they would give to Ebonies wanting to up the ante on personal finance!

New year, new decade, new mindset! While the thought of achieving more usually comes with lots of excitement, getting to the #tasks at hand can sometimes be difficult. Moreover, many of us often #struggle to get #motivated after taking time off to #regroup. These breaks might be after finishing a #graduateprogram, #startingafamily, making a #career change, or simply needing to care for your overall #wellness. However, once the break is over and it’s time to get back to work, the #shakeback can be difficult...but it’s not impossible!

Tune in as Dr. Poole and Dr. Bell share their favorite #tips and #tools for getting back on track with your goals for the #newyear!

As #WomenofColor #navigating #HigherEducation and #professional spaces, it is so easy to become engrossed in the humdrum of checking off our to-do-lists and bucket lists, without taking a moment to come up for air to pat ourselves, friends and loved ones on the backs for not only #surviving, but #thriving. We do not have to wait until we have reached our #elephant-sized goals to be #proud of ourselves, as there is #power in our wins, both “big” or “small”. As we make it a habit to #celebrate our #successes, we gain #momentum, #confidence, and #fulfillment, which permeates into our daily lives and creates a cyclical effect. Tune in as Dr. Poole and Dr. Bell discuss why celebrating our wins is essential!
