Abstract:
|
In academic advising, listening is more than just hearing words-it's about creating a space where students feel understood, valued, and empowered. However, truly effective advising requires more than active listening; it demands a commitment to neutrality, empathy, and support without judgment. This presentation will equip academic advisors with the skills to foster trust, encourage open dialogue, and provide guidance that meets students where they are. Through interactive discussions, real-world scenarios, and practical strategies, attendees will learn how to navigate difficult conversations, minimize bias, and create a culture of inclusivity that promotes student success. |
