  Mentor Circle sessions commence two times a year, and groups are made up of 3-5 League members per session. Visit our website for more information. Deadline to register- two weeks before program launch (Sept 1).

  • Blazing your Career Trail
  • Leadership
  • Exploring Management Concepts
  • Navigating Change & Uncertainty
  • Negotiating
  • Designing a Well-Lived Life

  After you sign up for this event, you will receive a link to the longer mentoring circle survey to place you into a group.  You MUST fill out that survey to be included in this mentoring circle program.

  An engaged team is a team that gets regular feedback on their work. Recent Gallup data show that 80% of employees report feeling more engaged after receiving meaningful feedback in the past week. But having these conversations can be difficult for some people (both the givers and the receivers). In this session, we'll discuss some strategies to use when providing meaningful (frequent, timely, and focused) feedback to our teams. 
  

  
  

  Elizabeth Erbeznik (she/her) is an international educator with nearly two decades of experience in higher education. Her first role in education involved teaching English to middle schoolers as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Madagascar. (Had her Malagasy colleagues done a performance review of her teaching abilities back then, she'd have been placed squarely in the "needs improvement" phase.) She then went on to earn a PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Texas at Austin. After spending several years teaching college-level French and leading study abroad programs in Paris and Bordeaux, she took a role in the Academic Affairs department at WorldStrides (originally ISA) in 2015. She loves onboarding new colleagues, setting goals, meeting quarterly objectives, and collaborating with her team to ensure that they're supporting student learning on all their programs. In her spare time, she thrives by hanging out with her family in Austin, TX, reading, writing short stories, and traveling.
