Ethan is joined today by Angel  P\u00e9rez, CEO of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC). Angel has just written a new book on leadership called  The Hottest Seat on Campus. It\u2019s written for leaders on college campuses, but the advice he gives is applicable to leaders everywhere, whether you are a college counselor leading in your office, a parent leading in your home, or even a student leading in your school or community.  In their conversation, Angel and Ethan discuss:  How does Angel define leadership? Why is detachment so important (and how do we do it)? What\u2019s the number one thing Angel believes will lead leaders to success in the future? What is deep work and why do we love it so much? Lots more.  The advice is practical, given the challenges facing higher education, we believe it\u2019s timely\u2026 and we hope you find it useful. If you haven\u2019t met Angel P\u00e9rez, he is CEO of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC). In this role, he represents more than 25,000 admission and counseling professionals worldwide committed to postsecondary access and success. Named by a Forbes article in 2019 as the most influential voice in college admissions, he strives to build an educational ecosystem that better represents today\u2019s society. Prior to joining NACAC in July of 2020, Dr. P\u00e9rez served in secondary and higher education leadership positions across America, most recently, as Vice President for Enrollment and Student Success at Trinity College in Connecticut. He is an advocate for counselors everywhere, an important ally in the work of increasing access to higher education, and I\u2019m so glad to call him my friend. &amp;nbsp; Play-by-Play  2:03 \u2013 Welcome and check-in 3:56 \u2013 Angel shares what his book is about, why he wrote it, and who it\u2019s for 5:50 \u2013 Why is it important to talk about leadership right now?&amp;nbsp; 9:04 \u2013 Superpower #1: The Power of Solitude&amp;nbsp; 15:23 \u2013 Superpower #2: The Art of Detachment 24:00 \u2013 Superpower #3: Inspiration through Inclusivity 36:45 \u2013 Superpower #4: Mastering Self-Management 42:31 \u2013 Superpower #5: The Power of Showing Up 50:24 \u2013 Superpower #6: The Power of Focus 54:55 \u2013 Superpower #7: Shift Your Mindset 1:04:26 \u2013 Getting comfortable saying \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d&amp;nbsp; 1:12:57 \u2013 Which superpowers do Angel and Ethan want to work on over the next year?&amp;nbsp; 1:20:07 \u2013 Closing thoughts and sharing goals  &amp;nbsp; Resources   6 \u2018Superpowers\u2019 Every Leader Needs | The Chronicle of Higher Education&amp;nbsp;  The Hottest Seat on Campus by Angel P\u00e9rez  The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership: A New Paradigm for Sustainable Success by Diana Chapman, Jim Dethmer, and Kaley Klemp&amp;nbsp;  Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout by Cal Newport&amp;nbsp; Maker Time vs. Manager Time College Essay Guy\u2019s Personal Statement Resources College Essay Guy\u2019s College Application Hub  &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"The College Essay Guy Podcast: A Practical Guide to College Admissions","author_url":"http:\/\/collegeessayguy.libsyn.com\/website","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/35944375\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/186454695"}
