My evolution from a small town to big city girl

Keywords: identity , jhumpa lahiri , namesake , privacy , social dilemma , social media

While I was trying to find my place in a new crowd, I felt that I would lose my approval where I was previously accepted. I feared that I may have unknowingly created dislike and disconnect. With these dilemmas bothering me, I deleted my lovely picture. And with that, all the associated emotions.

I am curious to see how someone views their world, and I want to understand the way they know things

Keywords: higher education

To me, qualitative research is like the moving image of people’s lives into words, the art and science of words that cannot be measured by numbers. I know qualitative research cannot be generalised, and there is no scope of comparison between groups or treatments etc. But Albert Einstein said, “Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted” and I could not have said it better.

You need your tribe to be complete

I learned from all of them. From Cindy, I learned the toughness needed to survive in our Portland community. From Betty, I learned that there is strength in being who you are. From J, I learned to keep my own counsel. I shared a secret with her once that she promptly shared. When I confronted her about it, she did not apologize but said simply, “If you didn’t want me to share it, why did you tell me?” And from Rosie, I learned that there was a different world waiting for us outside of our neighborhood.

My latest observation about Zooming is bringing me closer to an understanding of human connection

Because we can’t talk at the same time on Zoom it presents a forum for a possibly perfect interaction. We all need to listen for others to hear what someone is saying.

I don’t know, but let’s find out

Keywords: leadership

  1. No one ever changed their perspective by spending time with only people who are exactly like them. If you are a leader, you may find that you’re coming out ahead in power imbalances, so do what you can to seek out others.
  2. Share the foundations first. When offering plans for next steps, always come prepared to share how you got there. Letting others know that you have done some thinking, gives them the courage to ask you to think about other things as well.
  3. Don’t rush the unknown. No one likes being unsure of what to do next, but when we rush through uncertainty it can lead us to solutions that are limited in their effect on the problem. Get comfortable with growth mindsets and fearless exploration.
  4. Listen twice as much as you speak. One of the characteristics that all my favorite leaders have in common is their thirst for information. They ask questions from everyone, they comment last, and they do their best to disagree constructively.
