A call to invest in faculty and staff well-being (opinion) Institutions must invest in faculty and staff well-being at work, Vicki L. Baker and Rebecca Pope-Ruark write.

Happy to see the article I wrote with Vicki L. Baker in *Inside Higher Ed* this morning - we have to pay attention to faculty and staff #wellbeing in #highered if we want to thrive

Finally in the right headspace to truly take in what @kfitz.info is masterfully arguing in *Leading Generously* and thinking about how it aligns with what Iโ€™m learning about leaders and #burnout in #highered. So much to come.

Yeah, thatโ€™s about right. If a copy editor has already gone through it and you are reviewing their edits, they expect a week to be all you need. And the index timeline is always super short too.

Many of us are familiar with the SWOT analysis, but SOAR comes from an Appreciative Inquiry lens, focusing on strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and desired results. In my version, we assess available resources rather than results.

Curious about tools we'll use in the upcoming Unraveling Faculty Burnout retreats on December 15 and 28? Are you looking for a way to understand the positive potential in your #highered situation or career?

Consider a SOAR analysis.

Burnout can rob you of the joy of working with students or doing cool research or serving the community.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

I've worked with 1000s of faculty to develop strategies to avoid/mitigate burnout.

What could we do together?
