Six Phases of Appreciative Advising • Bloom, J. L., Hutson, B. L., & He, Y. (in preparation). The appreciative advising revolution. Champaign, IL: Stipes Publishing.
Appreciative Advising Phases • Disarm– Recognizing the importance of first impressions, create a safe, welcoming environment for students. • Discover - Utilize positive open-ended questions to draw out what they enjoy doing, their strengths, and their passions. Listen to each answer carefully before asking the next positive question. • Bloom, J. L., Hutson, B. L., & He, Y. (2008). The appreciative advising revolution. Champaign, IL: Stipes Publishing.
Appreciative Advising Phases (continued) • Dream - Help students formulate a vision of what they might become, and then assist them in developing their life and career goals. • Design – Help students devise concrete, incremental, and achievable goals • Bloom, J. L., Hutson, B. L., & He, Y. (2008). The appreciative advising revolution. Champaign, IL: Stipes Publishing.
Appreciative Advising Phases (continued) • Deliver – The students follow through on their plans. The advisor is there for them when they stumble, believing in them every step of the way and helping them continue to update and refine their dreams as they go. • Don’t Settle– The advisor challenges the student to proactively raise the student’s internal bar of self- expectations • Bloom, J.
