As I am growing in my career, I've found myself re-evaluating my counseling/advising theories after every appointment. We are constantly learning from students, and every situation is based on the student's identity at certain stages in their life. Considering every student comes from a different set of beliefs, a different level of resilence and sometimes even just a gap in age, our strategies need to pivot to hold students accountable. What ways can we practice holding students accountable for their goals and their efforts? 

This module allowed me to re-evaluate the verbiage I've been using when facilitating a conversation with a student about their future. I need to be able to hear them out and listen closely for key words that can give me an indication of how confident they are.
