Empower Agency and Interpersonal Abilities
A Facilitation and Teaching Guide
Focus on Enhancing Students’ Soft Skills to Help Them Contribute, Connect, Learn and Thrive
An aversion to conflict. An inability to negotiate interpersonal situations. A lack of accountability. Not feeling empowered. Being unsure how to self-advocate and embrace their sense of agency.
These are just some of the soft skills that many of today’s students seem to lack, according to higher ed colleagues. As a result, students are often avoiding hard things, struggling to navigate their place in the world and letting life happen to them. And student life professionals are being put in the position to do way too much handholding, with consistent, exhausting emotional labor taking its toll.
What if we could help you help students help themselves and others?
The Building Students’ Soft Skills: Empower Agency and Interpersonal Abilities Facilitation and Teaching Guide is filled with interactive exercises, case studies to determine ways to help, discussion questions that invite student perspectives and voices, and handouts with key takeaway points.
