Talking Tactics celebrates these flashes of genius in higher education wherever they come from: the work-study student yapping in the commons, an admissions counselor pulling a late night, or the frazzled enrollment coordinator juggling a million tasks before noon. We explore both the insight AND the action, how a single observation became a tactic that delivered real results. We’ll even look at tactics that were a flop but led to an even greater comeback. Talking Tactics is hosted by Safaniya Stevenson and is a proud member of the Enrollify Podcast Network.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talking-tactics-6399040"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 67: How Friendship Bracelets United a Campus Around Its Strategic Plan","slug":"ep-67-how-friendship-bracelets-united-a-campus-around-its-strategic-plan","published_at":"2026-01-20T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talking-tactics-6399040/ep-67-how-friendship-bracelets-united-a-campus-around-its-strategic-plan","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talking-tactics-6399040","url":"https://talking-tactics.simplecast.com/episodes/ep-67-how-friendship-bracelets-united-a-campus-around-its-strategic-plan-S92X__AR","audio_url":"https://afp-232483-injected.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/0e7718ce-a9f3-4eec-ae5a-990837981e0f/episodes/14852be8-d544-4277-ab24-bf3835bcf333/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=0e7718ce-a9f3-4eec-ae5a-990837981e0f&awEpisodeId=14852be8-d544-4277-ab24-bf3835bcf333&feed=TW3wUdsO","summary":"Forget everything you know about strategic plans being boring.
