This month I have spent more time than usual visiting university campuses. My first visit was for pleasure – I played tourist at the College of William and Mary<\/a><\/strong> in Williamsburg, VA. This was a side trip after spending some time in Washington, DC during March Break \/ Spring Break.<\/p>\n

\"College<\/a>

College of William & Mary (Williamsburg, VA)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

My second campus visit was an even bigger pleasure, but officially I was there to speak with graduate students in the Applied Social Psychology<\/a> Program at the University of Windsor about career options in Industrial \/ Organizational (I\/O) Psychology<\/a>. I loved the energy and enthusiasm of the grad students. I was happy to be able to share my thoughts on \u201cReverse Engineering\u201d one\u2019s career so that they can close the gap between where they want to end up professionally and where they are currently.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

Mild Mannered and Understated<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

In my mind, the link between these two trips is not the obvious fact that both locations are university campuses. What made these two trips similar is that both institutions relate to a theme of my last blog post: understated competence.\u00a0 Both of these universities have characteristics that give them special status as hidden gems. The College of William and Mary is a relatively small and understated university that\u2019s often put into the same category as the Ivy League even though it\u2019s a public institution. It\u2019s the second oldest university in the United States, only Harvard is older. But even with its long history and high academic standing, it gets a lot less attention than the other \u201cbig name\u201d schools like Princeton, MIT, Stanford, and the others.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"College<\/a>

College of William and Mary (Est. 1693)<\/p><\/div>\n

Now, I\u2019ll get back to my story. March 27, 2015, started really, really early – at 3:45 am so that I could catch an early flight and have a chance to reconnect with a former professor, Dr. Charlene Senn, prior to my talk. A few weeks ago, while attending a charity event in Ottawa, I met someone who had been a visiting scholar at the University of Windsor and had gotten to know Dr. Senn and her work. This visiting scholar attributes much of the foundation for the recent work on bystander intervention within the context of violence against women (e.g., #WhoWillYouHelp<\/a>) to Dr. Senn.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I spent a few hours with Dr. Senn. She greeted me warmly at the airport. We enjoyed a gourmet coffee and lunch while catching up on the events of the 15 years that had passed since we\u2019d seen each other. Although she did mention a huge research grant (over 1 million dollars which is exceptionally rare for Canadian research in the social sciences), she did not make reference to any of the current initiatives in place to encourage bystander interventions on campuses and elsewhere. Lucky for me, the visiting scholar had told me about Draw the Line (and organizations like the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women, OCTEVAW<\/a>) and I\u2019ve seen the public service announcements (e.g., #WhoWillYouHelp<\/a>).<\/p>\n

What This Means in Practice<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The point I\u2019m trying to make is that here\u2019s someone who is clearly at the top of her game and has plenty that she could brag about yet she remains humble. In comparison, there are many who have accomplished 10% of what she\u2019s accomplished and if I spent a few hours with them, I\u2019d never get a word in edgewise. \u00a0My other former professors had also made significant contributions both on and off the campus \u2013 that\u2019s the beauty of Applied Social Psychology. When it\u2019s practiced well, the workplace, the community, and the field of healthcare all benefit.<\/p>\n

\"uWindsor<\/a>

Souvenir from the University of Windsor<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Ottawa area where I\u2019ve lived and worked since graduating, I know several University of Windsor alumni who are successful in their own rights and they all have one thing in common: understated competence<\/a>. They let their track record of accomplishments<\/a> (e.g., awards, publications, positions held, income, etc.) speak for themselves. It\u2019s rare that you\u2019ll hear any of them describing their career highlights or proudest professional moments. Someday I should scrutinize their LinkedIn profiles to see if they\u2019re complete! My suspicion is that there\u2019s an understated inventory of their accomplishments …<\/p>\n

My two campus visits also remind me of a second point: sometimes the humble and understated have spectacular abilities and potential yet the failure (of others) to recognize that talent can lead to huge missed opportunities.\u00a0 Note to hiring managers and business owners<\/em> – this point is especially relevant in the context of the recruitment and selection of employees. Try to get a real measure of past accomplishments, behaviours, and substance<\/a> rather than falling victim to a great storyteller who\u2019s a master at smoke and mirrors without a solid foundation.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got questions or comments related to this post, I\u2019d love to hear from you by email<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, or\u00a0LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More than career coaching,\u00a0it\u2019s career psychology<\/strong><\/em>\u00ae.<\/p>\n
