When they mentioned my need for “me” time at my graduation luncheon , I doubted that I could pull it off. However, I indeed observed how refreshed some of my fellow doc candidates-turned graduates seemed following their dissertation defenses ~ a break to decompress helped them relieve stress!

Happy National Dessert Day!
My peers who’ve preceded me in finishing their doctor of philosophy degrees can agree:
Cleaner and clearer are better.
That means: clean desks and clear minds …
Plus clean PowerPoint s to clear our minds !
Two of my esteemed classmates who graduated a few years ago and whose guidance I sought for my paper and slideshow both explicitly pointed out that I most certainly must cut back
Down to 120-140 slides, no more than 150!
As the ☼summer☼ drew to a close ~ during my most recent hurdle (that lasted four months as we entered fall term ), my statistics ~ I already reached 300+ slides and reached 300+ pages of my dissertation
Yet that’s way too many to fit into a two-hour presentation (including professors ‘ Q&A) ~ so I’ve reduced down to almost ½ so far!
This slide: an indicator that I measured a TON of stats ! I ended up taking out 50+ slides last night … Shooting to eliminate more. Next issue: making sure that the fewer slides that I look less cluttered
Just as I’ve had to minimize my clutter-bug and shutter-bug ways, I’m also de-cluttering / cleaning and clearing up my PowerPoint
That way, I can advance into the next round !

Indeed, this tip is relevant to ~ not only social media trendsetters with followers, but also ~ anyone who has an audience ~ in particular:
Apparently, Jessica Alba extremely influential with her following ~ she’s now branded produce Courtesy Seventeen

Grey’s Anatomy Leadership
Be worthy of being believed in , of being looked up to .
~ Dr. Edwards to “the other” Dr. Shepherd * (Feb. 26, 2015)
You have to lead .
~ Dr. Harmon to “the other” Dr. Shepherd * (Feb. 26, 2015)
Being a leader isn’t about whether they’ll listen to you, it’s whether they believe in you.
~ former Chief Dr. Richard Webber to new Chief Dr. Miranda Bailey (Oct. 1, 2015)
I call this GA 360 because this is relevant to followers and leaders alike:
Confidence
“There’s a scientific study that shows that if you stand in superhero pose for just five minutes before a job interview or a big presentation or a really hard task, you will not only feel confident , but you will perform measurably better.
~ *Dr. Amelia Shepherd to Dr. Edwards on Grey’s March 5 , 2015 )
From Big Bang Theory
Dr. Leonard : “I’m a little nervous” (about approaching George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch ).
Dr. Sheldon Cooper Confidence is key in these situations.”
Empathy
It’s an evolutionary advantage to be included in things.” [as I teach about affection being a basic interpersonal/social need]
~ Dr. Amy [played by real-life Ph.D. and the Blossom star from 2½ decades ago] about feeling left out to empathize with bf Sheldon
Alliteration and Assonance
You are the K ing K ong of P ing P ong . You are the Menace of Table Tennis … You said you played Bad minton ? More like Sad minton !
~ Dr. Howard to Dr. Raj
Progress
You know why you’re acting this way? You’re so close! I’ve been there … When you’re about to make a breakthrough . Keep going. Don’t stop.
~ Dr. Derek Shepherd Dr. Caliet (wannabe mistress) on GA
^– I most certainly must heed this as I approach my finish line ! –^

During this week’s conference call with my dissertation chair , she called me
conscientious .
I not only accepted this ~ to ♥heart♥ and absolutely at face value ~ as the best compliment from her (when we were discussing the running and re-running of my statistics for my research results ) but also am ensuring that I live up to this standard .
When my cohort members and I were admitted into our doctoral program , conscientiousness * happened to be one of the personality traits for which we tested and that we studied in our leadership theories literature. It comes from the (1b) Big Five OCEAN ” acronym:
O penness (or O riginality)*C onscientiousness (or C onsolidation)
E xtroverion ~ I’ve also consistently tested high for this in the (2) Myers-Briggs ENFJ for E xtraversion • In tuition • F eeling • J udging) both when I took it as a psych minor for my undergrad and again in doc school A greeableness (or A ccommodation)N euroticism (or Emotional In stability) ~ the reverse of this attribute as leaders and doc students is ideal to deal
According to the (1a) instrument provided by my doctoral degree program , someone who is conscientious is “achievement”-oriented and “self-disciplined” ~ so this implies that conscientiousness involves intentions (definitely something for which I strive ).
Currently, my conscientiousness has stuck with me through school ~ as both a scholar educator
This past week, I taught my students about literary terms , so I tied them into ♪music♫ and pop culture:
Asyndeton ♫George Strait ♪The Chair♪
VIDEO
Irony ♫Alanis Morissette ‘s ♪Ironic♪
VIDEO
Verbal and Nonverbal Communication Jeremy Lin How to Fit in the NBA

Now I know that my advisor wasn’t trying to flatter me, but her acknowledgment meant encouragement of the ♥heart .
I challenge you fellow servants and leaders to consider which personality traits that you have in order to enhance your strengths and improve from your weaknesses!

After I helped lead my †Church† in prayer at Vigil Mass, Fr. Bob Pastor , greeted me as “Soon-to-be Dr. Dispo ” ~ to which I replied, “GOD-willing ,” and “to glorify GOD .”

What is your calling in life?
We all have a purpose, and our greatest sense of purpose must come from a higher power.
In my case, as a †Catholic, I’ve sought †GOD’s will for me.
I’ve always considered two options:
having a spouse in the Sacrament of ♥Marriage♥
or ♥marrying♥ †GOD† in the religious life (I visited with a sister of the religious order from my †Catholic† university a few years ago)
However, I still can be a single lay person who ♥loves♥ and serves †GOD† with all of my ♥heart♥ and soul .
Consider The Nun’s Story Audrey Hepburn
This film featured a woman’s challenges between upholding her vows and satisfying her own wants, such as
silent time vs. speaking up
serving the Church vs. serving the community where she worked (Congo medical care)
Filmed on site in Congo in the 20th Century
We’re all human and have our moments. It’s just part of life here on Earth and a matter of maintaining what’s most important to us.

For the college-bound , I’ve included my sure-fire ways of succeeding in higher ed ~ which have worked for myself as a student and also for my own college students. If you’re already a student, here’s my literature that I’ve shared with my own summer speech class :
ALL of the above apply to the courses that I teach, yet they also can benefit college students as they exercise their literacy and verbal skills in speeches that they present and papers that they write in their college and professional careers.
