Description
Summary:Orientation directors are continually searching for a strong conceptual framework to undergird and improve their training of orientation leaders (OLs). Instead of developing a series of random, discrete training exercises, it is preferable that orientation practitioners structure and develop training using an established, proven conceptual framework.

The purpose of this article is to advocate the use of the six phases of Appreciative Advising to enhance the training and leadership development of orientation leaders.
