Delegating with the Five Paths to Leadership®

Delegation is one of the hardest leadership skills to actually practice, especially when your plate is already full and doing it yourself feels faster and safer. In this virtual session, we’ll help you to see delegation through a new lens: the Five Paths to Leadership®.  We’ll open with a brief overview of the Five Paths, then move into two hands-on activities. First, you’ll explore what’s genuinely holding you back from delegating—whether that’s a fear of losing quality, overloading your team, or losing your own sense of impact. Then you’ll practice crafting a real delegation message—one that speaks to what actually motivates the person you’re delegating to.  You’ll leave with a message you can send this week, and with a clearer picture of what’s been getting in your own way. Join us to build a habit that frees you up for the work that only you can do, and that gives someone else the chance to grow into theirs. 

The Leadership Investment Higher Ed Can’t Keep Deferring

The conversations happening in higher education right now are mostly about external pressure: enrollment, funding, political scrutiny. But the 2025 Academic Impressions Professional Development Survey points to something unfolding closer to home.  Two-thirds of current higher education leaders have held their roles for five years or less. More than one in five employees feel like outsiders in their own units. And leaders, on average, are growing more confident in their own effectiveness at precisely the moment when their employees are becoming less so.  This isn’t a crisis of talent. It’s a crisis of support, investment, and honest feedback.  In this free webcast, Academic Impressions CEO Amit Mrig and Chief Strategy Officer Beth Rotach walk through the five key findings from our 2025 Professional Development Survey, drawing on responses from 1,974 higher education professionals across all 50 states.  You’ll come away with:  Higher education has always shown belief in developing people. The 2025 data suggests that it’s time for higher education to apply that belief more seriously to its own leadership.  Learn more about the 2025 Professional Development Survey before attending.

Career Growth Conversations in Action

Career growth conversations are some of the most underused tools in a supervisor’s toolkit, and in higher ed, where upward mobility is limited and burnout is real, they may be some of the most important. Your Academic Impressions membership gives you everything you need to make them a consistent practice, from the Five Paths Self-Assessment to Sophia, your AI leadership coach.  Knowing what a career growth conversation looks like—and actually being in one—are two very different experiences. In this session, you’ll have the chance to do both. We’ll move through a live career growth conversation together, giving you a firsthand look at how the model feels from both sides of the table. Whether you’re preparing to have these conversations with your team or are just getting started, you’ll leave with the confidence and context to make them real.
