Breaking Bad Habits

Being flexible and working with your prospective students to schedule an appointment that is convenient for them is one of the many elements for moving forward with them. However, as I posted above, sometimes students will set an appointment only to get off the phone with us. A question to consider is, are we meeting our students where they are in the process or are we asking them to meet us where we are in the process? How do you personally know when it's the right time to invite a prospective student to the campus for an interview?

Overlapping Styles

Geoffrey, Bewilderment???? I guess that's one way of looking at it but just imagine how those things may become second nature after awhile. You may just wonder how you ever did without them, right? :) Dr. Jean Norris

Improving Communications

Annette, Wow! You've packed a lot of great tips in just a few sentences. Overall, what I hear you saying is to consider the receiver (other person) in the communication to have a more meaningful interaction and that...is a choice that many don't take. Great insights! Dr. Jean Norris
