The DREAM PHASE is when advisors help students uncover their wildest dreams for their futures. The trust and rapport you have built in the first 2 phases allows students a safe environment to articulate dreams that may at first seem out of reach.
By encouraging students to “ignore the amount of education required to achieve the dream, the probability of the dream coming to fruition, and the likelihood of others laughing at the dream,” advisors help students identify and share their genuine/authentic/unconstrained hopes and ideas.

How do you encourage/expand/sustain students’ dreams?
How do you encourage/expand/sustain students’ dreams?
How do you fuel your own dreams and utilize them in your interactions with students?
