In this episode of TIPS, hosts Ashley and Gilbert sit down with Tim Odle, Concordia University Irvine's Vice President of University Operations. Tim shares valuable insights from his extensive experience in education leadership, including how his own style has matured from a more emotional, 'rah-rah' coach approach to one focused on helping individuals plant roots and build a strong foundation right where they are. He also shares his philosophy of empowering his teams, giving people the freedom to go for it and make decisions, knowing as a leader he is there to catch them and support them through challenges. It's a great conversation about leadership evolution, building a strong base, and trusting your team. Let’s get started!
