Notes de l'éditeur
- All of us are volunteers, we are the lifeblood of our organization, by keeping the motivation of our counselors high, we guarantee to success of an exchange!
- Be a good example, people watch what you do more than they listen to what you say! Be someone worth emulating.
- Introduce your new comers with experienced counselors, so that everybody knows each other. Whenever possible include the counselors in the decision making process, so that they feel “part of the Program”
- Intelligent listening is an important part of success. Ask questions, get a genuine interest in the responses and put in place the ones that will improve the program.
- Some are motivated by the program itself while others may be interested in networking and a few could be looking for personal recognition. When possible give hem tasks that will support their goals.
- Share the Program Accomplishments and Milestones, counselors want to know they are helping to make a difference. Communicate effectively, and share your knowledge.
- Acknowledge the hard work they are doing. Recognize their accomplishments and thank them in public.
- Make sure your counselors have the knowledge they need to succeed at their position; if they are saddled beyond their capabilities, they may become frustrated or burn out more quickly!
- Can we apply them to the counselors? Be first: I’m a person of action! Be curious: I seek to understand! Be on purpose: I’m certain of my outcome and move steadily toward it! Be Grateful: I focus on things for which I can be thankful! Be of Service: I give of myself! Be here now: I live in the present moment!
- Being creative means solving a problem in a new way. It means changing your perspective. Being creative means taking risks and ignoring doubt and facing fears. It means challenging yourself every day. Being creative means searching for inspiration in even the most mundane places. It means creating without critiquing. Being creative means you know how to find the similarities and differences between two completely random ideas.
- Establish a line of communication and build a solid foundation of trust. Be consistent and keep promises. A few encouraging words can lift the self esteem of a young person. Focus on establishing a bond, a warm friendship. Successful Counselors are those who can be a true friend while maintaining the role of a responsible adult. According to students, their sense of belonging is fostered by a Counselor that demonstrates warmth and openness, encourages their participation, is enthusiastic, friendly and helpful, and is organized and prepared.
