Disarming: Strategies to Build Rapport with All Students
- Lindsey Elaine Thomas (University of South Carolina)
Abstract
Appreciative Advising teaches advisors that in order to discover, dream, design, deliver, and not settle with students they must first disarm them. A safe and predictable environment must be established in order to effectively disarm all students and provide them with opportunities to build a positive relationship with their advisor. This article discusses how to provide this environment before, during, and after advising sessions.
