Listen Later

Karen Costa shares how role clarity and boundaries can help us thrive on episode 505 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

I saw people being asked to, like, completely revamp their entire course and learn how to online, but nothing was removed from their plate.

-Karen Costa

So the first question I want folks to ask themselves is what are my qualifications in this role.

-Karen Costa

Just because you are qualified to do it does not mean that it is yours.

-Karen Costa

I didn’t know what boundaries were until I was about 35 years old, and it’s taken me about 7 years of really challenging interpersonal work to understand what boundaries are and to feel confident in setting boundaries for myself.

-Karen Costa
