Abstract:
|
Traditional advising often emphasizes academic metrics, overlooking the critical role of emotional intelligence (EQ) and empathetic engagement. This session proposes a paradigm shift by introducing Motivational Interviewing (MI) to empower advisors and ignite students' intrinsic motivation. Exploring the synergy among EQ, empathy, and MI principles, the session aims to revolutionize advising, fostering student agency, well-being, and academic success.
Highlights include research on the combined impact of EQ, empathy, and MI in advising, practical strategies for EQ cultivation and MI integration with college students, and interactive exercises for honing empathetic listening and MI techniques. Participants will gain tools for creating inclusive and supportive advising environments conducive to student empowerment.
This session caters to advisors at all levels, offering insights to enhance practice and foster student autonomy and resilience. By embracing these methodologies, advisors can unlock the full potential of advising, contributing to a more enriching academic journey for all stakeholders. |
