In this Ask the Expert episode, a listener asks for advice on how women in higher education can break into leadership roles -- especially when they don’t meet every qualification listed in a job posting. Expert Dr. Gretchen Bataille shares thoughtful guidance on navigating these transitions, from building transferable skills and choosing the right mentors to knowing when to say yes (and when to say no). She also offers insight into how institutions can create more equitable leadership pathways.
