Listen Now:
Our friend, Robert Tillman, PhD, joins us once again on the Faculty Factory Podcast this week. This time, we’re discussing all things related to playing to your strengths as a professional in academic medicine.
With Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Dr. Tillman serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Education, Innovation & Technology. Additionally, he holds positions as the Director of Professional Development and Mentoring in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and as an Assistant Dean in Faculty Affairs and Faculty Development at Baylor.
You can revisit our discussion with Dr. Tillman from February when we discussed “Nurturing Sources of Self-Efficacy to Accomplish More in Academic Medicine.”
Dr. Tillman bluntly told us, “If we can identify and leverage our strengths, we’ll probably find success in whatever we’re doing.”
As a self-described ‘assessment junkie,’ we delve deeply into the CliftonStrengths assessment in today’s episode.
Dr. Tillman highlights the importance of recognizing and leveraging one’s strengths, as they can lead to increased engagement, productivity, and overall success in both professional and personal endeavors.
He also emphasizes the significance of self-awareness in identifying and understanding one’s strengths, as well as the importance of embracing and owning them fully.
