Now that you have an understanding of your leadership team, how can you adapt to accommodate your lack of a resource investigator? Dr. Jean Norris
It's true, attitude and energy are both very important in the role of admissions and requires a conscious effort by the admissions professional. What can the admissions team do to improve attitude and energy at your campus/school? Dr. Jean Norris
Great awareness Renee. Once we take a look at what limits our listening we can create a strategy for overcoming these limits. What can you specifically do to focus on your students and avoid the distractions of the office? Dr. Jean Norris
I would imagine that any of those three answers could indicate that the student is committed because different things motivate people differently. I'm curious what kind of an answer you might get if you didn't offer them the three options. Have you tried leaving that as an open-ended question? Dr. Jean Norris
Nicole, Sometimes the simple and straight forward approach works best. As you pointed out, the opportunity lies with what they tell you after that initial question and asking great follow-up questions based on what they already told you. Thank you for your post! Dr. Jean Norris
It looks like your maximizing the use of your resources. Keep up the great work! Dr. Jean Norris
