TACT recently learned that one of its members, Seth Batiste, has a consulting company that recently released the 9th Edition of College and Career Success digital textbook. Like many higher education educators, Batiste is leading in a variety of areas to advance higher education. TACT interviewed Mr. Batiste about his consulting firm and his new achievement.
Batiste is the Chief Strategist, Strategic Initiatives for Lone Star College – North Harris. Prior to this position, he held the office of Executive Director of Accreditation and Compliance for the System Office. While leading the Office of Accreditation, all three (3) baccalaureate degree programs have now been approved by both the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THEBC), SACSCOC, and the U. S. Department of Education.
What was the catalyst for starting Batiste Consulting?
“In grad school, I hated elements of group projects when roles were being negotiated. In lieu of bartering for responsibility, I often took the portion of the project that no one else wanted. This was typically a more difficult task. Recently, I have embraced my love for creatively solving complex problems.
Further, I am great at making connections; making connections and having an architect-like personality type (Myers-Briggs) meant certain jobs were more of a fit than others, namely faculty and consultant. I have been blessed to do both. Projects and problem-solving affords me a passion that I first realized in 2003; it grew from my offering many small businesses pro-bono services aimed at solving this or that problem. In 2020, while quarantined during the COVID pandemic, I changed the name of my consulting firm from Batiste Educational Services of Texas (BEST) to Batiste Consulting, LLC. Projects for Batiste Consulting, LLC include planning and implementing major projects, writing mini-proposals, and delivering professional development to name a few. At BC, we take on projects that help clients grow, while forming the types of client relationships that foster trust and substantial growth.”
