    17. Outcomes Language Evolving Business: Reframe the question cost by increasing the level of vested interest between vendors and clients for a mutual outcome. Healthcare: Move away from polarizing statements such as “health care for everyone” to higher level motivation of ensuring good health for everyone”.

    19. Partner to Appreciative Advising and Goal Setting Appreciative Advising – Sets the foundation for a positive experience. Goal Setting – Clarifies destination (S.M.A.R.T. Goal)

    20. Outcomes Directed Thinking in Student Services/Advising – The Procedural Pause Identify motivation. Ownership of plans, solutions, tasks. Broadens perspective of resources. Method of promoting communication with key support people.

    21. “Never bring the problem solving stage into the decision making stage. Otherwise you surrender yourself to the problem rather than the solution.” – Robert Schuller

    22. Important …Why? Goal setting is a risky business.

    27. “A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.” – Mark Twain

    28. Moving Down the Map: From Obstacles to Solutions “Design is directed toward human beings. To design is to solve human problems by identifying them and executing the best solution.” Ivan Chermayeff

    29. Moving the Map: Setting a Course and Destroying the Barriers. “Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.” Swami Sivananda

    30. Motivations established? Easier to identify distractions and barriers. Once again “flip” to what is desired instead of the barrier. Create the strategy. Identify resources/buy-in needed for each strategy.

    31. Focus is now on the smaller steps that move a student from overwhelmed by diluted unspecified, time - costly efforts, to progress through specific, doable strategies…supported by the motivation.
