For 20 years the value placed on my research was the billable hours and whether or not it appeared in some legislation or business plan. The measurement for how effective those thoughts were/are? Sustainability of process or outcome. (Some would say the repeat business or requests for opinion.)
This year I started a Research Fellowship and it has been very different. When asked for previous citations, a gentle reminder that private industry doesn't always allow for personal credit. The sponser of the Fellowship has been great in offering to send me to conferences yet I sometimes wonder about the judgement others may raise given the length of my career but lack of scholarly output in the public sphere.
My point? I find your professional sucess a point of pride that you should acknowledge. Low-key bragging about other's research that includes a conclusion that promotes you is the goal. (And in a field where reputation is the measurement, a necesssary evil.)
Congrats on your success and that of those you helped get you there!
I remember our first meeting when you were interviewing at NKU -- I believe we shared breakfast at your hotel. I was impressed :) You got my full-on endorsement then, and I called it right. You are such an asset to the Haile College and NKU. Thanks for all you do for our students and many, many others whose professors are influenced by your work..
Thank you for seeing my potential before I ever knew it. I remember that breakfast and the drive to campus in your truck. Your hospitality, and interest in me left an impression. You always lead with humanity and encouragement, I saw that when you became associate Dean and then interim Dean. I am grateful for all you did and your investment in me.
My friend- You are an entrepreneur of economics education. You had a passion, saw a demand, and decided to dedicate your human capital to supplying that need. The market is rewarding you!
Thank you for sharing our work! One of the joys of writing that paper was seeing so many familiar names on the lists who we knew were passionate about educating others.
Happy to see you sharing your journey . Knowing about your journey and the recognition is never a brag. It is for us to know success is not easy and one should stay focus and never give up.
