HOW to MENTOR Part Two

We hope your day is filled with heart smiles! In our last post on "How to Start Mentoring - Part One"  we told you about the "UGLY FISH SHARE" or personal interests inventory. We said we would share our UGLY FISH SHARE with you so here it is, enjoy and happy relationship building! 

Here are a few suggestions on how to use the Ugly Fish Share:

• You pick and choose from among the questions, 
• PERSONALIZE IT! 
• One good method of gaining information about somebody is the "Interview Method." Pretend you are a famous Talk Show Host like Bob Letterhead or Opera Winfred and conduct a humorous interview with your new mentoree. You both will smile!
• If you find an ugly fish (topic that really interests your mentoree) GO WITH THE FLOW!
• This is just an "Icebreaker" or "Get-To-Know-You" exercise. Build a relationship before you build rules.
