Rock the meeting

- Put them at ease. Be calm. Be patient. Be helpful. Move at their pace. Don’t overwhelm.
- Keep a comfortable office environment.
- Acknowledge them as people. Use their name. Talk about more than classes.
- Ask: “How are you?” “What’s going on?” “How did that go?” “How do you feel about that?” “What do you think?” “Why do you think that is?” “What else…?”
