by Dr. Linda Rose
<p>Welcome to "I Can Do This, Show Me How," a podcast where each episode is an adventure on a transformative journey. I'm Dr. Linda Rose, your guide through the realms of empowerment and self-discovery. At age 34, I stepped onto the campus of West Los Angeles College to enter the PACE Program, feeling utterly out of place. Having barely graduating from high school and after spending over a decade as a secretary in the space and technology sector, I was burdened by an inner critic that whispered I wasn’t college material. Yet, driven by a deep desire to change not only my life but that of my children, I chose to silence that voice. This decision marked the beginning of a journey that would eventually see me soar to earn an AA, BA, and MA in 6 years while I worked full time and cared for two children. Then I earned a doctorate degree in educational leadership at age 54 to later become a community college president.</p><br><p>Now, I want to share this journey with you. Whether you're contemplating a career change, transitioning from full-time employment, or seeking to rediscover your passions, this podcast is for you. We'll navigate the path laid out by Joseph Campbell's iconic 'The Hero's Journey.' From the ordinary world to the call to adventure, through trials and revelations, we’ll explore these stages through personal stories and insights from my years of teaching, leading, guiding, and mentoring.</p><p>You will hear interviews with individuals who have dared to transform their lives. Each week, we'll decode these mythical stages and apply them to our own lives—helping you find the courage to say, 'I can do this! Show me how!' Join me as we embark on a journey to find your path, reclaim, or create your narrative, and embrace the hero within.</p><br><p>Your adventure begins now!</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

<p>Change isn’t easy. Adaptation isn’t easy. But both are something we all must do at some point in our lives. Whether they feel significant or not, these life moments are crucial in understanding who we are, who we’re becoming, and where we want to go. And, because change and adaptation are often difficult, perseverance comes into play. Pushing through fear, stagnation, and uncertainty is of utmost importance because it builds confidence and strength, and it paints a clearer picture of how to get what you want out of life. </p><br><p><strong>In today's episode, </strong>I’m honoured to be joined by the incredible Dr. Vaniethia Hubbard. Dr. Hubbard is the Vice President of Students Services at Santa Ana College and she’s joined me to talk about her own journey through education. We discuss what it was like for Dr. Hubbard to leave for university for the first time, what she struggled with along her educational journey, and how she was ultimately able to figure out her calling in life.</p><br><p>Tune in and listen to the eighteenth episode to hear Dr. Hubbard’s story and learn about her own story of courage, strength, and perseverance. </p><br><p><strong>In this episode, you will learn:</strong></p><ul><li>What called Dr. Hubbard to education (2:23)</li><li>Why Dr. Hubbard says she doesn’t think she was ready to leave home for university at the time that she did (10:02)</li><li>How Dr. Hubbard overcame feeling like a failure during her days in university (17:22)</li><li>What swayed Dr. Hubbard to attend Clark Atlanta University over the others she’d applied for (21:36)</li><li>About Dr. Hubbard’s work as an adoption and foster care social worker (33:18)</li><li>About Dr. Hubbard’s transition from social work to working in community colleges (33:15)</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Thousand-Faces-Collected-Joseph-Campbell/dp/1577315936" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Joseph-Campbell-Power-Moyers-George/dp/B07H62Q4CV" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Freedoms-Teacher-Life-Septima-Clark/dp/0807872229" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Freedom’s Teacher by Katherine Mellen Charron</strong></a></p><br><p><strong>Let's connect!</strong></p><ul><li>My Email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>[email protected]</strong></a></li><li>Mentor International: <a href="https://mentorfoundationusa.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.mentorfoundationusa.org</strong></a></li><li>Mentor: <a href="http://www.mentoring.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.mentoring.org</strong></a></li><li>Ashoka Changemakers: <a href="http://www.ashoka.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.ashoka.org</strong></a></li><li>Women’s World Banking Mentorship Program: <a href="http://www.womensworldbanking.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.womensworldbanking.org</strong></a></li><li>Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) <a href="http://www.score.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.score.org</strong></a></li><li>Big Brothers Big Sisters: <a href="http://www.bbbs.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.bbbs.org</strong></a></li><li>Cherie Blair Foundation for Women: <a href="https://cherieblairfoundation.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.cherieblairfoundation.org</strong></a></li><li>Toastmasters International Mentorship: <a href="http://www.toastmasters.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.toastmasters.org</strong></a></li></ul><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

<p>My entry into the workforce after graduating highschool was likely different from that of a young woman of the same age entering the workforce today. That being said, it’s also likely that many aspects of this transition remain the same. Trepidation, uncertainty, and anxiety are still very much factors that plague women in the working world today, as they did when I was first starting my career. And the unfortunate fact about it is, these factors are either caused or amplified by workplace culture. </p><br><p>In today's episode, in honour of Women’s History Month, I’m sharing what my experience with bad workplace culture and, more specifically, workplace bullying has been. I do this in an attempt to highlight the unique experience of being a woman in the working world and what it means to navigate the good, the bad, and the ugly - mainly the ugly. In sharing my own stories of workplace bullying, I hope to amplify the voices of all women going through something similar, and also provide helpful tools and tricks to identify and challenge bullying in the workplace.</p><br><p>Tune in and listen to the seventeenth episode to see if my story is one that you, or a loved one, can identify with and together we’ll learn how to rise above bullying and build a better work environment for ourselves. </p><br><p><strong>In this episode, you will learn:</strong></p><ul><li>What skills I had upon graduating highschool (4:03)</li><li>What led to me being fired from my first job (9:16)</li><li>What it was like getting married and moving out of my mother’s home (13:21)</li><li>About my experience with workplace culture at my first secretary job (15:44)</li><li>The important life lesson I learned after being bullied at work (21:11)</li><li>What strategies I learned to identify bullying in the workplace (27:49)</li><li>About one necessity when it comes to dealing with bullies (37:26)</li><li>What you should do if you feel overwhelmed by you workplace culture (42:34)</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Thousand-Faces-Collected-Joseph-Campbell/dp/1577315936" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell</a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Joseph-Campbell-Power-Moyers-George/dp/B07H62Q4CV" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers</a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Freedoms-Teacher-Life-Septima-Clark/dp/0807872229" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Freedom’s Teacher by Katherine Mellen Charron</a></p><br><p><strong>Let's connect!</strong></p><ul><li>My Email: [email protected]</li><li>Mentor International: <a href="https://mentorfoundationusa.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.mentorfoundationusa.org</a></li><li>Mentor: <a href="http://www.mentoring.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.mentoring.org</a></li><li>Ashoka Changemakers: <a href="http://www.ashoka.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.ashoka.org</a></li><li>Women’s World Banking Mentorship Program: <a href="http://www.womensworldbanking.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.womensworldbanking.org</a></li><li>Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) <a href="http://www.score.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.score.org</a></li><li>Big Brothers Big Sisters: <a href="http://www.bbbs.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.bbbs.org</a></li><li>Cherie Blair Foundation for Women: <a href="https://cherieblairfoundation.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.cherieblairfoundation.org</a></li><li>Toastmasters International Mentorship: <a href="http://www.toastmasters.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.toastmasters.org</a></li></ul><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
