When I talk to people who are in the early stages of contemplating leaving student affairs and higher education, many of the same words surface in our conversations: “overwhelming,” “intimidating,” and “complicated” come to mind. Some have even named it outright “scary.”

How do we do scary things? A little bit at a time.
