- [To the Graduating Class of 2024](https://ellenensher.com/senior-graduation2024/): Congratulations on your soon-to-be graduation! I am so incredibly proud of you for earning your Management and Leadership degree in the College of Business at LMU.  As a class you hold a very special place in my heart. I love all my graduates but you – the “Pandemic students”- well you are just truly unforgettable. I felt compelled to take a trip down Pandemic memory lane and reflect on just why the class of 2024 is so incredibly special.  
- [Madeleine Uhlhorn-Thornton: Let’s talk Numbers!](https://ellenensher.com/lets-talk-numbers/): As I finished my study abroad experience I learned a lot about Greek culture and identity. Throughout our time here studying abroad in Greece we have been learning about Greece’s history and how they have come to find themselves as a nation. They did this by looking at their past history to connect to their current selves. To explain this connection with numbers I have decided to use Hofstede’s six dimensions. The dimensions that he addresses are power distance, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, long-term orientation, and indulgence. Hofstede uses these dimensions for country comparison. Today I will be using long-term orientation and uncertainty avoidance to compare Greece to the United States. As well as my previous perceptions of the countries.
- [Iycis Smith: Mentorship Inspired by the Greek Lifestyle](https://ellenensher.com/the-greek-lifestyle/): To my surprise, by the end of week one, I felt I had carved a space for myself in the commotion of the new world I felt I was in. The importance of vulnerability and self-expression were two motives I made sure to push to the forefront of my mind, no matter what the day’s activities were. When we got to the mentorship section of our course, I felt that the lesson got me thinking about how I could benefit from both finding a mentor myself, and becoming one on campus next year for students thinking of embarking on new and unexpected journeys of all kinds. Being a student as well as a tourist, I learned to synthesize the key points of our mentorship lecture by doing extensive research with the Greek energy I was experiencing, my mind focusing more on how far meaningful interactions carried my spirits throughout the day.
- [Lillian Wanninger: Culture in Greece vs the United States](https://ellenensher.com/culture-in-greece/): I was always told by my family that the first thing to pack when embarking on a trip is to pack extra flexibility. If anything, that has been what I relied on most for my time in Greece. This trip has taught me to embrace the unexpected. There is a fair amount of planning one can do but at the end of the day none of us really know where the day will take us. I have found that to be the beauty of traveling. It is much more than the aesthetic sunsets, delicious meals and epic landscapes of Greece but more about the little moments in between that allow you to fully grasp the character and essence of each place you visit. I have found that traveling can be the best teacher. Before my time in Greece, not having a full plan and control over things was something that often scared me but now I face the unexpected.
- [Julia Hoffman: Expectations vs Reality](https://ellenensher.com/expectations-vs-reality/): Prior to leaving for the Odyssey program, I retained minimal expectations regarding class structure, social scene, and the local community. For the last several years, I have preferred to keep lower expectations for everything, whether that be for other people or even myself, so that I won’t be disappointed. I am aware it may not the best mindset to have, and I do know I am an intelligent and capable woman, but I would rather be “really happy” to obtain a goal that I didn’t quite believe was possible than be disappointed when something I really wanted to happen didn’t work out. The only goals I had for myself were to use this as an opportunity to be more comfortable alone, I knew this would be possible to achieve especially since this was my first time traveling without any sort of adult supervision to another country.
- [Andrea Payre Madrigal: Greece, France, US, South Korea](https://ellenensher.com/greece-france-us-south-korea/): I have been in Greece for the past 3 weeks, as part of the LMU Odyssey study abroad program where we took a class in HR/OB, “Managing People and Organizations”. In this class we have studied many concepts and used many tools to help us better understand said concepts. One of these tools was the Hofstede Insights Country Comparison Tool which we used to compare the work and cultural differences between Greece and the United States. There were six categories of culture described and analyzed per country: Power Distance, Individualism, Masculinity, Uncertainty Avoidance, Long Term Orientation, and Indulgence. I also added both France and South Korea because I am interested in the countries for my professional life. I will thus share three of the six categories for these four countries. 
- [Nathan Martinez: Siestas and Success](https://ellenensher.com/siestas-and-success/): Having the opportunity to study abroad and see these differences first-hand, has been an experience I will never forget. Having these personal experiences and observations has allowed me to fully immerse in a different culture and witness how cultural values manifest in daily life. Understanding these cultural differences in individualism and masculinity, and even siestas, allows for just an overall stronger relationship between countries around the world.
- [Samantha Siegel: Cultures and Connections](https://ellenensher.com/cultures-and-connections/): Deciphering between the various types and components of organizational cultures has specifically impacted the way I have perceived the school we are staying at, Anargirios and Korgialenius School of Spetses. The three major components of Schein’s Model of Organizational Culture include espoused values, underlying assumptions, and observable artifacts. Espoused values refers to the key message an organization presents, typically in the form of mission statements and public sentiments. Underlying assumptions also reference the beliefs and philosophies of an organization, but are so integral, they are essentially the faculty’s second nature. While these are both essentials of any organization, the component I will solely focus this post on is the observable artifacts, which can easily be identified or discussed in six different ways, including symbols, physical structures, language, stories, rituals, and ceremonies.
- [Marysol Cázarez: Schein’s Model of Organizational Culture in Spetses, Greece](https://ellenensher.com/scheins-model/): Spetses is an island that is three hours west of Athens. In all honesty, I had never heard of it before, but the idea of studying alongside the Greek shore was reason enough for me to sign up for this summer - study abroad. Spetses is an island of almost 4,000 people. In the past few weeks, I have learned about different Management and Organizational behavior concepts. In this blog post, I will be applying the Schein model of organizational culture to my personal observation of the Spetses Culture.
- [Claire Houser: Business](https://ellenensher.com/claire-houser-business/): My focus for this blog post is on the Big Five Personality Types and using them to discuss my study abroad experience. Before I came to Greece, I had romanticized the whole study abroad experience; I thought about the beautiful blue ocean and a feeling of overall peace. Although I have felt peace since I have been here and have been able to enjoy the beautiful ocean views, it has also been a very intense experience for me. I have been reflecting on my experience so far with study abroad, and through learning about the big five personality traits, I believe some personalities are more suited for study abroad than others. That being said, I believe one can step out of their comfort zone if their personality is not as suited; that is if they truly want it.
- [Chaiya Jeffries: Managing](https://ellenensher.com/chaiya-managing/): Greece has been transformative. To go into depth, I now have a greater understanding of the restaurant industry in Spetses because the concepts discussed in this course allowed me to make real-life connections. As a food industry employee, I will have a different mindset than when I left. Being able to make connections has caused me to reflect on my experience as an employee at Hopdoddy.
- [Tatianna Lamperti: The Grecian Dream](https://ellenensher.com/the-grecian-dream/): But what about the Grecian Dream? My study abroad journey allowed me to take a step back and appreciate the things you cannot buy; health, happiness, and family.
- [Chloe Espy: The Big Five Cats](https://ellenensher.com/big-five-personality-types-in-cats/): Throughout my trip in Greece, I have seen many cats of different sizes, shapes, and colors. I have also come to realize that just as humans have distinct personalities I see this reflected in cats too. The Big Five taxonomy allows people to better understand, identify, and compare personality traits most humans have (Tupes and Christal 1961). Using the Big Five personality types of conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness to experience, and extraversion I was able to better understand why different cats throughout the island loved or hated me (Goldberg 1981).
- [Amanda Lee: Lost in Translation](https://ellenensher.com/lost-in-translation/): During my study abroad experience in Greece, our traveling group became a team. We stuck together on our tours through museums and we traveled in packs to group meals. However, being a team comes with the obligation and the responsibility to stay connected. Effective communication is essential to keep all members of the team informed and engaged. Yet, throughout our time in Greece, communication was tricky. I found that oftentimes the reasons for our miscommunication aligned closely to the communication influences discussed in Jason Colquitt's book Organizational Behavior.
- [Danielle Colina: Studying Smart on the Island of Spetses: Study Abroad Addition!](https://ellenensher.com/danielle-colina-studying-smart-on-the-island-of-spetses-study-abroad-addition/): When I first got to Spetses, I found adapting to this new life tough. As we all know, island life can differ from the busy Los Angeles city life. Spetses works on a unique island rhythm, which it can be hard to adapt. Initially, I fought the urge to lay on the beach all day, totally embrace the relaxed pace of island life, and hinder myself academically. Often we have to adjust to new situation in life, such as a new place or a busy schedule. For example, I found that some of the assignments that were assigned to me were very difficult to stay on track with. So, to combat this problem, I set clear and meaningful goals to drive my motivation and focus, using the goal-setting theory.
- [Jenna Black: The S Journey of Jenna on Spetses](https://ellenensher.com/jenna-black-the-s-journey-of-jenna-on-spetses/): WOW! What an experience this study abroad on the island of Spetses has been. I can’t believe I can walk to the beach after class, soak in the rays by the sea, then go right back to my dorm and finish my homework. This paradise has been nothing but a blessing, but I definitely had my highs and lows on this trip. I struggled a lot in the beginning due to a slight personality crisis I was facing. I had recently gone through an event where I was told I was too codependent, and it hit me very hard. I had always thought of myself as an independent person, so this threw me into a whirlwind of emotions during the first week of the program. I was rethinking my entire personality and was constantly worried about how I was perceived. This was until we read about the big five personality traits in our textbook for our Managing Organizations class.
- [Ruby Goldman: How HR Can Caffeinate Engagement](https://ellenensher.com/how-human-resources-can-caffeinate-engagement/): Human Resources is a fundamental aspect of the Management and Leadership Major, as well as any business major. While HR is found throughout the larger corporations of America and other European countries, Greek coffee shops have taught me that many businesses in the nation are falling behind in terms of HR. This is due in part to its myriad of smaller tourist-serving businesses that have less resources available for additional needs like HR.
- [Beach Ball Icebreaker](https://ellenensher.com/beach-ball-icebreaker/): Need a great way to start an IRL training workshop or class? Try this beach ball icebreaker exercise!
- [How to use a Scavenger Hunt as an Icebreaker: Roaming around Rome on Study Abroad](https://ellenensher.com/using-scavenger-hunt-as-icebreaker/): Do you ever need a great icebreaker? Try designing a scavenger hunt!
- [Small Talk Is Big Talk](https://ellenensher.com/small-talk-is-big-talk/): I discuss the consequences that the pandemic has had on us a lot in my blogs, especially in the ways that it’s affected our education and careers. But my professor friends and I have noticed a really unexpected consequence that we haven’t talked about yet: our poor students have forgotten how to small talk!
- [What are office hours really like and why should you come?](https://ellenensher.com/office-hours-are-fun/): Office hours are actually FUN.
- [Women Power Mentors that Inspire Me: Tips from TikTok](https://ellenensher.com/women-power-mentors-that-inspire-me/): Two words: Boss. Ladies. You’ve probably heard of all these powerful women. But did you know that they are all power mentorship icons?! Read on…
- [What NOT To Do As A Protégé: Tips From TikTok](https://ellenensher.com/what-not-to-do-as-a-protege-tips-from-tiktok/): Before I share my TikTok tips for what NOT to do as a protégé, I want to say that most of us have the right instincts when it comes to building a successful and healthy mentor-mentee relationship. However, it’s always nice to have a little refresh on how to ensure a mutually beneficial mentorship.
- [My Return to TikTok: Tips to Battling Procrastination](https://ellenensher.com/my-return-to-tiktok-tips-to-battling-procrastination/): So let’s talk about procrastination. We would be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t struggled at some point with procrastination. But the good news is, like most things we struggle with in terms of productivity, there are strategies we can use to improve.
- [Teaching Mentoring in Morocco with the U.S. Embassy: How to Use Social Media to Build Rapport Pre and Post Workshop](https://ellenensher.com/teaching-mentoring-in-morocco-with-the-u-s-embassy-how-to-use-social-media-to-build-rapport-pre-and-post-workshop/): Now, I know our world has drifted away from Facebook in recent times, but it still can be very powerful when used the right way. I have found a lot of utility with using Facebook groups. They allow us to build a private community, where members can engage with each other and use social media to build rapport – without even meeting in person. I decided to give it a try.
- [My Best Practices for Engaging Students through a Screen](https://ellenensher.com/my-best-practices-for-engaging-students-through-a-screen/): Though I’m thrilled to be back teaching in person next year, I’ve enjoyed reflecting on what worked this past year teaching virtually. It’s safe to say that when I was gearing up for the school year last summer in 2020, I was nervous! I run my in-person classes with lots of activities and engagement. However, I knew I just needed to fall back on my tried-and-true strategy for success – research and prepare. And now, a full year later, I’d like to share some of my new best practices for engaging students through a screen:
- [The Do’s and Don’ts of Online Class: A Series – Do Take Class in a Quiet, Productive Space](https://ellenensher.com/the-dos-and-donts-of-online-class-a-series-do-take-class-in-a-quiet-productive-space/): I’ve heard the stories and experienced them myself. A student baking a chocolate cake during class. Another student mopping the floor. Even a student driving from Los Angeles to San Diego with their phone in the cupholder logged into their virtual learning class.
- [The Do’s and Don’ts of Online Class: A Series – Do Ask For Help](https://ellenensher.com/the-dos-and-donts-of-online-class-a-series-do-ask-for-help/): There are going to be moments when the online learning situation becomes a little much. Maybe it’s the curriculum. Maybe it’s the technology. Maybe it’s a personal situation. Regardless of what it is, your professor may need to know.
- [The Do’s and Don’ts of Online Class: A Series – Do Mute Yourself Before Having a Conversation](https://ellenensher.com/the-dos-and-donts-of-online-class-a-series-do-mute-yourself-before-having-a-conversation/): What you can control, however, is your microphone. It’s best to just remain muted. When asking a question or participating, unmute yourself for as long as you need, and then remember to mute again.
- [The Do’s and Don’ts of Online Class: A Series – Don’t Send Inappropriate Chats](https://ellenensher.com/the-dos-and-donts-of-online-class-a-series-dont-send-inappropriate-chats/): The Zoom chat function during class is great. It allows students to interact with the professor and each other professionally without disrupting the flow of class: “professionally” being the key word.
- [The Do’s and Don’ts of Online Class: A Series – Don’t Vape in Class](https://ellenensher.com/the-dos-and-donts-of-online-class-a-series-dont-vape-in-class/): Dear students,
- [The Do’s and Don’ts of Online Class: A Series – Don’t Zoom into Class While in Bed](https://ellenensher.com/the-dos-and-donts-of-online-class-a-series-dont-zoom-into-class-while-in-bed/): Don't zoom into class while in bed. Early classes are not ideal. For anybody. During our pre-corona world, an 8 a.m. class meant both students and the professor had to get up early enough to get ready, commute to class, drink a coffee, and be presentable enough for in-person standards.
- [The Best Tool in your Job Hunt Toolkit: Informational Interviews](https://ellenensher.com/the-best-tool-in-your-job-hunt-toolkit-informational-interviews/): As the professor of a Management class that helps undergrads discover their calling, I see many students who are unsure of which career path they want to take. And that’s okay. It’s just important that each student researches and asks questions. Networking events and panels are fantastic opportunities to learn about what appeals to you and what doesn’t. But there’s another option that may help even more: informational interviews.
- [The Do’s and Don’ts of Online Class: A Series – Don’t Multitask](https://ellenensher.com/the-dos-and-donts-of-online-class-a-series-dont-multitask/): The age-old distraction of looking out the window has now been overshadowed by countless new ways to threaten a student’s engagement during virtual class. There’s the Xbox a few steps away, the TikTok videos beckoning from your phone (especially mine!), the essay open next to your Zoom browser, even the pet who wants your attention. The amount of distractions has been significantly amplified by taking class online but paying attention during class remains paramount. I can recommend nothing more than the simple advice "Don't multitask".
- [Navigating Diverse Mentorships](https://ellenensher.com/navigating-diverse-mentorships/): I have spent a large part of my career researching mentoring, discovering the incredible benefits that come to those who form healthy diverse mentorships as either mentee or mentor.
- [Research Report on How College Students can Find Their Calling: Jump into Insight Experiences and Connect with a Mentor](https://ellenensher.com/research-report-on-how-college-students-can-find-their-calling-jump-into-insight-experiences-and-connect-with-a-mentor/): I recently published a paper in the Journal of Career Development with Kyle Ehrhardt that explores the idea of callings – specifically, what precedes someone finding theirs. This paper has powerful implications for college students who are in pursuit of a career that is meaningful to them. We researched two factors that were ultimately proven to help students perceive their calling and are discussed in detail below: a high-quality mentoring relationship and insight experiences.
- [The Do’s and Don’ts of Online Class: A Series](https://ellenensher.com/the-dos-and-donts-of-online-class-a-series/): I’m picturing it now. I log into my first online class this fall and watch as my students pour into the Zoom room. Class begins and we all slowly get accustomed once again to learning in a virtual space. It doesn’t take long for everyone to feel comfortable again; Gen Z students are incredibly adaptable and resilient.
- [Career Discernment: New Research on Making Decisions beyond Logic and Intuition](https://ellenensher.com/career-discernment-new-research-on-making-decisions-beyond-logic-and-intuition/): Previous scholarly work has proven the influence of logic and intuition in making career decisions. My co-authors and I, Jeffrey Yip, Haoxiong Li and Susan E. Murphy, wanted to explore how we could expand the regular two-system model of logic and intuition and study the role of additional influences like relationships and spirituality. With this goal in mind, we began our research. You can find the Journal of Career Development article here.
- [Overcoming my Existential Dread of Teaching Online: Developing Virtual Class Culture](https://ellenensher.com/overcoming-my-existential-dread-of-teaching-online-developing-virtual-class-culture/): As teaching online becomes a reality for many professors and learning and development professionals, many of us are beginning to reflect on how we can create a supportive environment in the digital world. This past semester, I had the advantage of seven weeks of in-person class culture built up before I had to take my class online.
- [“Zoom” in on Mentorships: How to Create and Maintain Mentor Relationships in Pandemic](https://ellenensher.com/zoom-in-on-mentorships-how-to-create-and-maintain-mentor-relationships-in-pandemic/): I have spent much of my career researching the value of both finding a mentor and being a mentor. Those who build a network of mentor relationships are far more engaged in their jobs, find more meaning in their work, and receive bigger paychecks and more rapid promotions. That’s why it is very important that while we are staying home, we maintain our existing mentorships, as well as build new ones.
- [Using Equity Theory to Coach Soccer](https://ellenensher.com/using-equity-theory-to-coach-soccer/): I concluded that equity theory was in effect!
- [Motivating the Unmotivated](https://ellenensher.com/motivating-the-unmotivated/): By Josh Hee
- [From Lipstick to Leadership: Lessons from Jeffree Star](https://ellenensher.com/from-lipstick-to-leadership-lessons-from-jeffree-star/): Being a makeup enthusiast and Sephora employee, I’ve been seriously loving Shane Dawson’s new docuseries, The Beautiful World of Jeffree Star. The docuseries follows Youtuber Shane Dawson as he takes the audience behind the scenes of Jeffree Star’s life and his million-dollar cosmetic company. Along with that it shows the consumers a look at all the work it took for Shane to create his makeup collaboration with Jeffree Star Cosmetics. Now I know what you’re thinking, how complex can creating eyeshadows and lipstick be? But seeing that Business Insider valued the makeup industry as a 532-billion-dollar industry, the work it took to create Shane’s line with Jeffree Star Cosmetics was extensive to say the least. The docuseries does an amazing job of showcasing the information to those who may not know about the makeup industry, while still providing new perspectives to long time makeup lovers. But the main thing I would have to say is that this glimpse into Jeffree Star’s business and his practices has fully convinced me that Mr. Star is not only an influential beauty icon, he is also one of, if not, the most transformational leader in the beauty industry right now.
- [If That’s the Train… I’m Good with the Walk](https://ellenensher.com/if-thats-the-train-im-good-with-the-walk/): By: Morgan Brooks
- [Tijuana Service Trip: Leadership applied through SMART Goals](https://ellenensher.com/tijuana-service-trip-leadership-applied-through-smart-goals/): Each time I travel to El Florido in Tijuana for the Engineering for Humanity service trip, it strikes me how lucky we are to live in a country where basic needs can be met easily when there is such severe poverty just a few miles across the Mexican border. EFH at LMU teams up with UCLA pre-med students each semester--creating an action plan aligned with several different leadership theories. We travel to the same Tijuana community 1-2 times each semester. The ramps and fixtures we build provide safe access for a large quantity of families seeking dental and medical treatment. We never fail to complete a task, whether building house roofs, building a soccer field, or building accessible ramps for those seeking medical attention. Weeks of planning precedes each trip to ensure all necessary equipment and travel arrangements are made. Each trip leaves Los Angeles at 5am and returns from 8-10pm. In our trip, the distinctive leadership style of conflict resolution called collaboration was used frequently; Engineers for Humanity collaborates with UCLA pre-med students to find the most efficient way to provide access to dental and medical clinics. We also collaborate with local families in the area to coordinate timing and to make sure enough families had time and rides to attend.

- [Nipsey Hussle: A Los Angeles Leader](https://ellenensher.com/nipsey-hussle-a-los-angeles-leader/): Ermias Asghedom was a rapper, artist, entrepreneur, community activist, father, and most importantly, a leader. Better known by his stage name, Nipsey Hussle was one of our generation’s greatest leaders, especially in the Black community. Well known in the Crenshaw District and surrounding neighborhoods, Nipsey Hussle was a staple amongst the community. He could be regularly sighted in the strip mall that he owned on Crenshaw and Slauson socializing with friends, family, community members and fans. Sadly, Hussle’s life was taken in this same parking lot on the afternoon of March 31, 2019. In light of his death, many of his community efforts were brought to light in the media to be shared with the rest of the world. Nipsey Hussle’s legacy can be felt worldwide because his message was so universal.
