Soltano<\/h5>\n<hr \/>\n<p>When I walked into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worcester.edu\/psychology\/student-resources-psychology\/\">Psychology Department<\/a> here at Worcester State University (WSU) on a beautiful Thursday afternoon, I was greeted by the vibrant, upbeat Dr. Emily Soltano, a WSU professor who is warmly regarded by both students and colleagues alike.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Soltano has been teaching at Worcester State since 1999.\u00a0 As she approaches 20 years of service on our campus, she happily took some time out of her day to share with us a few life lessons she has learned (and continues to learn) during her time here at WSU.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\"><strong>LESSON #1: Be the leader that you were meant to be, not the leader someone else wants you to be.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Soltano describes her leadership style as the more low-key leader. She emphasizes that she is a confident leader, but it took years of experience and of accepting who she is in order to gain that confidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not the aggressive, in-your-face type of leader. I\u2019m not the leader who needs to be the face of the project. I\u2019d rather be behind the scenes getting my things done,\u201d Dr. Soltano said. \u201cAnd I think what\u2019s changed since I first started here years ago is that I\u2019m now comfortable with being this type of leader.\u201d Dr. Soltano explained that only through experience was she able to learn to be comfortable with not trying to be a specific type of leader, and to just to be true to herself.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Soltano shared that she grew up as the youngest of 3 siblings who all are very different in how they approach matters. She said that with this experience, she has come to realize that it is okay to be her own person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t be somebody else,\u201d Dr. Soltano said. \u201cMake sure that it is your thoughts, and not what somebody else told you to say or do, because there is no \u2018right way\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080\">LESSON #2: Surround yourself with a diverse group of people.<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Soltano grew up in a Jewish household.\u00a0 Her neighborhood in Brooklyn was majority Catholic, but was ethnically diverse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrowing up as a Jewish girl in a Catholic neighborhood, it was hard at times because I felt that no one else was like me,\u201d Dr. Soltano said. \u201cMy family celebrated Jewish holidays. During Passover, when I was at school with my matza and egg salad, people would look at me, asking me, \u2018Why are you eating\u00a0<em>that<\/em>?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite those few incidents of feeling isolated, Dr. Soltano feels she benefited tremendously from growing up in a diverse neighborhood.\u00a0 She thought back to one of her childhood neighbors who she affectionately called \u201cTiti Iris\u201d (\u201cTiti\u201d is a word for \u201cAuntie\u201d in Spanish).\u00a0 Titi Iris was Puerto Rican, and exposed Dr. Soltano to a culture outside her own. Dr. Soltano believes this exposure had a lasting impact on her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve learned to be kind to people,\u201d Dr. Soltano said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I always succeed, but I always try. I don\u2019t always assume the worst.\u00a0 Be empathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\"><strong>LESSON #3: Learn to be comfortable with knowing that you won\u2019t always have the answers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t react to matters immediately. I try to be thoughtful,\u201d Dr. Soltano said. \u201cI support the person who I\u2019m interacting with by saying, \u2018I acknowledge it. I hear you. Let me think about,&#8217;\u201d Dr. Soltano said.\u00a0 \u201cAnd I\u00a0<em>will<\/em>\u00a0think about it. I\u2019ll process it and then I\u2019ll get back to the person as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I don\u2019t always know the answer, and I\u2019m okay with that,\u201d Dr. Soltano said.\u00a0 \u201cIf I\u2019m not sure what the right response should be, I might talk to my colleagues both within the institution and outside of Worcester State.\u00a0 I might talk to my friends and family to get their perspective on things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\"><strong>LESSON #4: Try to keep an open mind. \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It takes time, experience and intention to learn this particular lesson. However, over the years, Dr. Soltano has learned not to assume the motivations of others. \u201cWe may see someone\u2019s behavior, but we\u2019re not mind-readers,\u201d Dr. Soltano said.\u00a0 \u201cEven here in the Psychology Department, we are not mind-readers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOften when someone does something, I think of several reasons why they may have done it, but in reality it\u2019s sometimes something that I would never have realized. I take the time to ask more questions, and actually talk to the person about what they are going through,\u201d Dr. Soltano said.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #800080\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-182 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/leadershipwsu.files.wordpress.com\/2018\/09\/emily-soltano_07-e1536590484930.jpg\" alt=\"emily-soltano_07.jpg\" width=\"211\" height=\"221\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\"><strong>LESSON #5: Remember the bigger picture.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Among her many contributions to WSU, Dr. Soltano served for 4 years as Chair of the Psychology Department.\u00a0 She learned during her four years as Department Chair the importance of taking a step back to understand how your individual work fits into the goals of the larger community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a faculty member, I think academics are \u2018It\u2019, but realistically I know that it\u2019s not,\u201d Dr. Soltano said. \u201cI now have a family, and I have my own kids.\u00a0 I\u2019ve come to realize that it\u2019s not just my view of the world, sitting in <em>my<\/em> office, teaching <em>my<\/em> classes, and doing <em>my<\/em> committee work.\u00a0 Being a department chair for 4 years gave me the perspective of the bigger picture.\u201d This is a lesson for which Dr. Soltano is extremely grateful.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Soltano has dedicated much of her time to engaging with students as an advisor on many student trips throughout the years.\u00a0 This has helped her to better understand the importance of the learning that goes on outside the class.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so glad that I have a relationship with Kristie [Director of the Office of Student Involvement],\u201d Dr. Soltano said. \u201cGetting involved as an advisor on these trips allowed me to understand that we are all here for the students. \u00a0Both staff and faculty play an important role in the bigger picture.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thank you Dr. Soltano for your years of work within the Worcester State University community. Thank\u00a0you for reminding us that, although we should always continue to challenge ourselves and grow as leaders, we should not do so at the expense of staying true to who we really are.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And with that, to our Worcester State Lancers: Keep reaching for the stars. Remember that you have a support system in the faculty and staff. And lastly, remember that although advice from others is extremely valuable, only you know how to become the best version of yourself.<\/p>\n<p>We here in the Office of Student Involvement look forward to watching and supporting you as you take that journey.
