I DO like to go back in time a little and connect with my Residence Life colleagues, because I worked with some pretty amazing people. Today’s guest is one of those! Tiffany Taylor and I met when she was working at Stanford University and we connected over running. And if you can keep a secret, I’ve had this crazy girl crush on her ever since we met!
Tiffany and I talk about how she successfully transitioned from Student Affairs to EdTech and essentially developed her current position at HandShake. There are SO many valuable tidbits in this interview and I had so much fun visiting with my running buddy again.
Tiffany spent 12 years in Higher Education working in Student Affairs and now serves as the Training & Education Lead at Handshake. She has worked intimately with student development and retention and is always seeking new avenues of learning.
Her pivot into EdTech was a way to expand her reach in working toward access for ALL students by connecting with students beyond a singular institution. At Handshake, she is able to continue her "student first" approach with a direct mission-alignment in providing access for all.
Find her on LinkedIn here where she shares weekly #tayloredtips

NOW: I sure did get on my high horse last week about layoffs and furloughs. And I have something to offer those of you who find yourself wondering, “What now??” The Leverage Your Layoff Mastermind Group is a six week program where we discuss career change, pivoting, and figuring how to get back to work ASAP. True to the mastermind format, first you create a goal, then design a plan to achieve it. The group helps you with creative ideas and wise decisions-making. And your first two weeks of the group are FREE - then you can pay what you can for the rest of the program. Go to https://www.krismcpeak.com/layoff to register!
