The Art of Advising: The Vital Skills of Active Listening and Creative Problem Solving

by John Cooper

I had a great experience today with a Doctor and it got me thinking about what makes a great advisor. It is clear that efficiency and volume are not on the list of characteristics of a great advisor. In my mind, their character and level of care are critical and this is often demonstrated through their ability to engage in 2 important skills. 1. Active Listening and 2. Creative Problem Solving.
