Breaking Bad Habits

I'm curious, these students with whom you are having the long conversations, are they eventually visiting the campus or enrolling even if they aren't setting the appointment right away? If setting an appointment is your goal then I think your plan to use the call outline technique may help. Thanks for your post.

Tools to Overcome Obstacles

The brainstorming technique is a great approach Kristina. Understanding the potential obstacles and having a list of possible solutions can help you as you work with your students to come up with the best solutions for them. You seem to have the understanding that it's really up to the student and what they recognize as the best solution for them. Thanks for posting!
