COORDINATOR

ANNE Frank: "Parents can only give good advice, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."

Coordinators exist to give advice, but advice is a two way street. Its usefulness is just as dependent on the receiver as the giver. Many times, if we're being honest with ourselves, we tend to ask for advice only from those who we sense will tell us what we want to hear. And many times the power of advice really comes down to respect. Those who we don't respect that give advice will always give bad advice, no matter how good it is. And those who we respect that give bad advice will always give good advice, no matter how bad it is. Asking for advice we must first ask ourselves why we are asking for it. To reaffirm a bias or to seek the truth? Overall, we tend to be weary of advice. If we think of it mathematically, it's because there is an infinite amount of bad advice that can be given and very little good advice. So, what is most important for the giver of advice is to remember that they are always providing it within the context of their current state. If they happen to be unhappy with their job, they may support you more easily in your desire to move on. Or if they're scared of losing their job, they may discourage your quest to follow your dreams at all costs. Neither bit of advice is bad, just limited to the advisor's experience.
