Yes You Can!
Congratulations again to the ELAM Class of 2018. This year, ELAM was thrilled to host Lilly Marks,
vice president for health affairs for the University of Colorado and Anschutz Medical Campus, as our keynote speaker at graduation. Here are some highlights from her address:
"In preparing for today, I pondered what else I might share with you given the extensive amount of time we have already spent together in this program and it boils down to three words:
'YES, YOU CAN'!"
"Leaders must have the humility and self-awareness to recognize our very limited and temporal significance in the world, but we must also have the audacity to want to make the world better and the audacity to believe that we can and we must
 make it better!"
"Honesty, integrity and trust are not just platitudes, they are essential elements of leadership success."
"Willingness to embrace challenges, to confront and to solve problems is another important characteristic of leadership. A tolerance for discomfort has simply got to be part of your comfort zone."
"Ladies, I also urge all of you to be willing to play in traffic. I believe this is particularly important for women. To progress and to succeed in your career, you must overcome your insecurities and tame the inner beast of the imposter syndrome."
You can read the full transcript of Lilly's remarks here. Thank you to Lilly for your inspiring and encouraging words!
Thank you to the Class of 2018!

Korn Ferry Institute, May 7, 2018:
The best leaders are coaches too. But what does coaching well entail?
Effective coaching combines setting clear goals, using a clear method, and, most important, a foundation of trust. Despite its vital role in coaching, trust all too often gets overlooked. Yet developing mutual trust early in a coach-coachee relationship can have a significant impact on the outcome of the coaching engagement.
The Chronicle of Higher Education Academe Today, May 9, 2018:
New leaders must be open to learning the culture of higher education, and faculty members must give them time.
Inside Higher Ed, May 9, 2018:
To best serve students, colleges must examine the recruitment and hiring strategies that may disadvantage applicants from certain groups, write Bryan Betancur and Victoria Livingstone.
Harvard Business Review, May 9, 2018:
One evening in February 2016, writer and filmmaker Ava DuVernay met with two top Disney executives about the possibility of directing an adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle's classic novel A Wrinkle in Time. DuVernay, 44 at the time, had overcome many challenges to reach that moment. She had launched her career 12 years earlier with no connections - she just picked up a camera and started making small-budget films, including one she financed out of her own savings account. She achieved a big breakthrough with Selma, the first film directed by an African American woman to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
But even as she moved into positions of authority, DuVernay found that men continued to question her leadership and invade her personal space.
Inside Higher Ed, May 10, 2018:
It tells us a lot about how we -- often unfairly -- assign responsibility for service work, argues KerryAnn O'Meara.
Fast Company, May 10, 2018:
Investors like to extol their data-driven approach. But then how come they won't invest in women-led companies, despite the clear evidence that they perform better?
Inside Higher Ed, May 14, 2018:
At its core, it's actually saying yes to something else that can be powerful in moving you ahead, writes Beth Godbee.
Inside Higher Ed, May 17, 2018:
When you want to make a difference in higher education, pivotal opportunities for leadership can occur all around you, writes Judith S. White, who provides advice for helping prepare for them.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, May 17, 2018:
A temporary leadership gig can elevate your career prospects, or sink them entirely.
Entire systems must be fixed, but for now, we can all take some small, immediate steps to improve the work environment for our female colleagues, writes Elizabeth A. Lehfeldt.

The Players' Tribune, May 11, 2018:
I want to tell you a little something about my parents.
I grew up just outside of Barcelona, a child of two highly successful professionals. My father was a nurse and my mother was a doctor. Naturally, I took to studying science - and after high school I even did one year of med school, before eventually devoting my time fully to basketball. I sometimes think about what would have happened if I had stuck with medicine and followed in my parents' footsteps. ... The reason I wanted to start by telling you about my parents, is that their story makes me think about today's NBA. Specifically about how, in the 72-year history of the league, there has never been a female head coach. Even more specifically, it makes me think of Becky Hammon: a coach who has been the topic of much conversation lately, and who I've had the opportunity to play for in San Antonio.
