Presentation Description:
When baby eagles reach the flying age, the mother eagle begins to stir the nest in order to teach them how to fly. This is clearly an instinctive intentional method that has proven to work with eagles. Advisors and academic coaches have a responsibility to teach students how to fly and soar in the higher learning environment through processes that will stir them. This webinar session is designed to share the processes that are included in helping students become more self-sufficient. We will examine how the content in each of the five “nest stirring” processes contribute to students becoming more of a partner in the advisement and coaching journey.
