The Difficult Less with Dr. Becky Haddad

from Cultivating Classrooms: Insights from Ag Educators Hosted by Emma Huber and Sammy Jurczykowski

In this episode of Cultivating Classrooms, we talk with Dr. Becky Haddad, Assistant Professor of Agriculture Education at University of Nebraska-Lincoln about her idea of the “Difficult Less.” We discuss how to say “no” without necessarily losing out on opportunities and how to thoughtfully shift responsibilities to students. We explore practical ways to manage the many demands of teaching and advising while giving students more ownership and leadership opportunities. This conversation offers a fresh perspective on setting boundaries, prioritizing what matters, and finding a healthier balance between work and life. More Questions?
