Advisors’
conversational skills are crucial to their ability to help
students. Advisors must be great conversationalists, but what
is the art and science of conversation? How does one have
significant conversations with students?
In
this broadcast, we will explore the art and science of communication,
including specific behaviors and theories designed to elicit
significant conversations. We’ll review communication theory,
verbal and nonverbal communication, and counseling theory
and practice, with the intent of providing advisors with specific
practices and theories they can use in their day-to-day lives.
We will explore how significant conversations with students
can also be a transformational experience that goes beyond
prescriptive and developmental advising.
