The Career Services Leadership podcast is thrilled to welcome Andrew "Andy" Tracy Ceperley, PCC, author of the new teaching memoir, Tone Setters in the Academy: How to Build an Inspired Life as a University Administrator.

With a career spanning the U.S. and abroad, Andy is a university leader, lecturer, facilitator, author, and coach (and he was once in my exact seat as the director of the Santa Clara University Career Center!). Andy is also a former President of the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What inspired him to write "Tone Setters" and the 60 individual tone setter mindsets he recommends for administrators.
  • A new coaching certification he is helping to develop on "TQ - Transitional Intelligence" inspired by William Bridges' work in change management.
  • Why he believes the number one skills that career services leaders need today is the ability to be "the ultimate connectors" and "community builders."
  • His perspective on "administrative glass ceilings" and the two-system approach to career advancement in higher education... and so much more!


Friends and colleagues mentioned in this episode: Skip Horne, Dr. Darleny Cepin, Dr. Neil Murray

Andy, thank you for a great conversation!
