In this fifth bite-sized episode of PodBites, Adam Barger talks with Lindsey Hamilton from Bates College about dealing with “programming lemons” in faculty development. In just a few minutes, Lindsey shares five practical and playful strategies for assessing when programs are no longer serving their purpose, making thoughtful decisions about where to invest energy, and selecting programming that truly fits the needs and direction of a center. From plotting programs by impact and effort to collaborating with colleagues and taking a simple “plus one” approach to improvement, this episode offers concrete guidance for turning challenges into opportunities.
