This module served as a reminder that we are dealing with somewhat unprecedented learning environments (and types of learners, by virtue of the technical era we now have).  Great tools and tips.  Thank you.

I like the chart on Cartesion Questions.  A blank form to help students think through things in a structured manner will greatly help them overcome those imagined barriers.  It's a great personal reminder, too :)

I've worked with counselors or case managers who are "burned out" and have forgotten these important skills.  I will need to work on helping them step back to avoid the temptation to provide "destructive feedback" or being judgemental.  This module will help guide me (and them) in the process of reflecting on this skill.

I appreciate the reminders on listening and feedback skills, which have been effective throughout my career. Today, I plan to work with case workers, dealing with adult learners with significant personal challenges.  This section on active listening and constructive feedback will be provide me concrete guidelines to help them improve their interpersonal  and communication skills.

Comment on Rex Mounce's post: I appreciate sharing your practical experience in working with adult learners.  Kudos for your efforts to improve.  We all continue to grow :)

The term "Unconditional Positive Regard" reminds me of the practice of "bracketing" when conducting research.  It is the ability (whether innate or learned) to hold back personal biases in order to be open to valuable insights.  I appreciate learning another term for "bracketing" :)
