September 13 | Coaching as Advising Strategy: Increasing Motivation, Responsibility, and Trust (Zoom)

Coaching is an underutilized approach to Advisement and alternative to “Counseling.” Despite the diversity of approaches to Advising and Counseling, Coaching actively engages four fundamental capabilities of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and harnesses EI more effectively than the other Advising styles. Whereas similar Advising approaches take technical queues from the academic field of Positive Psychology, this session will clarify key points of difference between similar Advising approaches and techniques that Coaching shares with formalized Counseling interventions.

A Randomized study has shown a 5 – 10% student retention and completion rate when a Coaching model to Advising and Counseling is implemented – an improvement much too significant to ignore.

The training takes place on Thursday, September 13, from 9 – 10 a.m.
