Hey everyone! 👋
Do you, like me, hear the word “Extraordinary” and think to yourself, “the world is too #!@&$ NOISY for me to get myself or anything else to 'Extraordinary!'”
I hear you.
AND, newsflash: 📢📢
You don’t have to buy into the noise!
This is Eric from Faculty Development, and our team is launching a learning campaign called “1% Better on the Road to Extraordinary”! 🎉 We’ll create a movement where all UNMC faculty—that's you—can cut through the distractions and maintain a steady trajectory toward your very best. 🚀
We need YOU to be part of this movement! Send us your top tips, strategies, and ideas to help us all excel... in leading, in teaching, in managing your career, in emotional intelligence, you name it...
We’ll collect your advice and help you record a 90-second video like this one to share with the faculty community.
Through this campaign, we’ll discover how just 1% improvement each day can make all of UNMC extraordinary! 🌟
Your advice coming soon...
Check back here in the 25-26 academic year!
