Episode 76: Successful Pivot with Tiffany Taylor of Handshake

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I DO like to go back in time a little and connect with my Residence Life colleagues, because I worked with some pretty amazing people.  Today’s guest is one of those!  Tiffany Taylor and I met when she was working at Stanford University and we connected over running.  And if you can keep a secret, I’ve had this crazy girl crush on her ever since we met!  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tiffany and I talk about how she successfully transitioned from Student Affairs to EdTech and essentially developed her current position at HandShake.  There are SO many valuable tidbits in this interview and I had so much fun visiting with my running buddy again. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tiffany spent 12 years in Higher Education working in Student Affairs and now serves as the Training & Education Lead at Handshake. She has worked intimately with student development and retention and is always seeking new avenues of learning. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Her pivot into EdTech was a way to expand her reach in working toward access for ALL students by connecting with students beyond a singular institution. At Handshake, she is able to continue her</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">"student first"</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">approach with a direct mission-alignment in providing access for all. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Find her on LinkedIn</span> <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffany-taylor-learner"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">here</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">where she shares weekly #tayloredtips</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">and for tasty treats you can follow her on instagram #tayloredtonics</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">NOW:  I sure did get on my high horse last week about layoffs and furloughs.  And I have something to offer those of you who find yourself wondering, “What now??” </span> <a href= "https://www.krismcpeak.com/layoff"><s
