One of the most important lessons for me in this section is "Effective questioning recognizes that barriers are often connected." It helps me see the student as a whole person and respond in a way that opens the conversation to exploring not just their ambitions and goals, but also their motivations and concerns.
Another important point is the idea that people communicate differently. I am learning to look for cues that indicate what type of communicator a person is, so I can tailor my questions to their natural communication style.
I learned how to effectively ask questions to gain further clarification without seeming confrontational. Asking leading questions to better understand potential constraints, limitations, or specific decisions made like - scheduling conflicts, program interest, declining a start date, etc.
GEtting engagement in the admissions process is crucial. Asking advanced questions for deeper insight help you make sure the student will complete and gain employment.
