About this listen
Join Bri and Matt as they welcome Jing Yao, an academic advisor within University of British Columbia's Faculty of Arts whose journey runs from teaching test-prep in China to immigration advising, community college work at Douglas, and now student success at a research university. Jing opens up about empathetic advising, navigating academic concessions, supporting students after withdrawals, and helping students find majors that actually fit. She also shares how maternity leave has not paused her growth as well as leveling up in NACADA’s Emerging Leaders Program!
You’ll hear:
- Two-year vs. four-year advising—what truly changes (and what doesn’t)
- Practical language for hard conversations that restore confidence
- Real talk on redefining “your best” as a parent and professional
- How to turn curiosity into leadership, writing, and proposals that stick
A warm, hopeful episode packed with strategy and a Canadian sparkle ✨.
*Emerging Voices is a spinoff of the Adventures in Advising podcast!
