A warm, inviting , energy helps retention.

One of the biggest lessons I learned from this module is that student retention starts with engagement, communication, and support.

What stood out to me in the module is that retention is the responsibility of everyone and having the right people in the right place at the right time. 

Being in a position to assist others and providing the necessary to in order for students to succeed is a great feeling. 

EQ (Emotional Intelligence) is a pivotal part to having great soft skills. 

HABE's hold us back, but we can overcome them. 

Actively engage a long term commitment to student 

Focus on feedback and keeping students engaged. 

What is your why? and what? why are you here? What are your goals? These questions apply to both staff and students. The intention sets the tone for how you will show up for yourself and others. If you are intent on being supportive and working as a team to achieve goals then you are in the right place.
