what would be the best approach in a multi generational environment?

The most important thing in human being it is definitely the communication, and the way communicate each otter even without talk demonstrated everything we are from inside out...

In many situations internal listening should be a way out to escape from people you do not want to talk to...

It is really empathy or sympathy helps you to assist students better?

why do you think body language is the most efficient way to communicate to the human being ?

When thinking about the elements outlined in the first module I believe that the example given had great value and I will be adding a few parts to my admissions process. I especially liked the portion stating "I'm really here to learn and listen so I'd like to ask you a few questions to get started. Will that work for you?" I have used something similar in the past but this is clearer and asks for engagement from the prospective student. Did anyone else find that they will be adding something similar to their process?

This is no east task when promoting your school via a myriad of social media outlets you may be required to promote within. I need to talk to teachers, admin reps, HR ... to identify great students to talk with and gave knowledge on to promote on the schools social media. (Among other events and functions the school conducts. Where does one start when all promotional material needs to be redesigned for consistence? Is the material to the point and able to stand alone? Is this material all the a prospect student needs to educate his or herself on the benefits of our school and its courses? Where to start when we need to engage users on our social media outlets and so much other material needs consistency?

The avenue I am spear heading is building public relations via social media outlets across 5+ campuses. Questions: What are some best practices to find those in the social media platform that may be interested in the services the school I am employed with offer? Once this 'prospect' is identified, an introduction and discussion of my schools services will be made. To introduce them to the value that X school can have on their career and/or life. In addition, I can ask questions to pull information on what some of their interests may be and align with the values and courses of my school. When I was attending art school many years ago, it was the norm to accept as many students as possible to enroll. Through observing my fellow students over the years, I learned that many didnt not understand is the level of what they put into the classes is what they took home with them after graduation. Is there anything I can do to stress the importance of success everyday in class to ensure that our classes are their final gateway to a life-long career and not just another school with another set of classes to take before they change careers and get caught up in the endless circle of "finding" themselves and their future career? Before a prospective new student is discovered whom can benefit from my schools services/courses, we must discover what is inherently social about our school brand. What people naturally want to engage with and talk about with their friends (also prospects) and use this to fuel ideas for creative publicity. What kind of creative brand content can we develop that will be engaging, has personality and drives people to share and ultimately become a student of our school. Develop publicity campaigns that are designed to get people to participate or share and be expressed across multiple social platforms. Social media is the new marketing of todays world. They current ways of marketing are on their way to join the fate of the 8-track tape. Friends within a network of other friends are the best forms of recommendations. Friends are not going to tell their friends something that is not remarkable. It's just a waste of time. The key may mbe to make the school remarkable. Something worth talking about (after reading a post about the schools event, etc.). However, building a relationship via social media is not a physical process. I can go up to a prospect student and shake his or her hand and chat about one of our courses. How do I or how can I demonstrate our value while being remarkable without being physically next to the prospect student? I am hoping I will know how while taking these training courses and share and discuss with you all.

I was happy to see in most of your course you gave a number of ways to over come the communication on the phone. To Active listening and to create a list of items to cover in a limited time frame will help me with my new job and being prepared, gave me a number of ideas on being prepared once I start making my my phone calls. I will print out a list from start of my conversation to the end of what I need to communicate and the importants of staying on track and time frame.

I would add emails to part of my commucation methods because I'm not that familar with it. I know that this can be a very effective way to connect with someone. My goal is to become stronger in areas that I'm weak in.

Most of us think we listen well, but don’t. Not really hearing what others are trying to say can get costly. When people don’t feel heard they tend to get irritated, confused, and pull away from each other. Is amazing how not listening can affect us in different area of our lives; personal, as individuals and mostly in our jobs. What is been working for me is Try listening to one person or thing at a time. Forget trying to multi-task and do zillion of stuff at the same time. Just focus in one conversation.

What do you do when a student asks if they will qualify for financial aid and if so how much they can receive?

Is it best to offer the student ride share possibilities after they have exasperated their own personal options for transportation?

Having clear understanding of the audience who you are speaking to,is vital. Must always think the answers through before communicating, to sound clear and assertive. Once prepared to speak with said audience, it will make it an easier duty to build relationship with them.

People say I'm very quiet any they think i'm not freindly, but the truth is that I am shy.I guess I need to work on that.

Usually I limit my listening by finishing what they are going to say and rationalizing the possible answers. I will give them time to express their concerns or questions until they have made their point and see how I can help them.

I limit my listening skills by thinking about other things that I may be more interested in or if I have alot of things to do that day I am thinking about that.

It very helpful to have eye contact with everyone in the room; also always try to ask open ended questions for more feedback. I restate the answers to questions answered to make sure that I am properly listening and viewing everyone’s point of view.

I try to focus on the student. I also alternate my eye contact to any one else that is with the student such as family members.

Personally I find that the face to face communication is more to the point and clearer, there is no room for misunderstang and you can get immeadiate feedback by the body langauge as well.
