With Valentine's Day around the corner, I wanted to incorporate some love, light, and laughter into the show. And I couldn't think of a better duo to do that with than Joy and John Hoffman.Dr. Joy Hoffman is a consultant and trainer with a focus on advancing equitable, inclusive, and socially-just practices. She previously served in higher education for 24 years, and now works full-time as a consultant.

Dr. John Hoffman is the president of Bemidji State University and Northwest Technical College. John previously served in a variety of academic and student affairs roles. 

Together truly represent the very best in role modeling, mentorship, and coaching for literally hundreds of others, including me.

Josie sits down with the Hoffmans in this cheerful episode to chat about Joy’s move to consulting work, John’s recent transition to President of Bemidji State College, how partners & spouses of Presidents can support them in that role, the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education, celebrating boundaries, and more about how this couple is just total #RelationshipGoals.
