After the training last Thursday I asked the mentors who attended whether they thought this blog and forum was valuable. The discussion was interesting.
It appears that two issues affect whether mentors are using this tool. First is time and remembering that it's there and available. The second is that they didn't know how to actually use the comment function on the blog or the forum.
In both cases, you need to register or set up an account to post a comment. The blog is public, the forum is private. I admit that it can be a bit intimidating to create an account, but it only needs to be done once and when you finish muddling through it, you'll be remembered and won't have to do it again (although you might have to sign in again).
Making a habit of checking in with the W2W Mentor blog is one of those things that no one but you can make happen. As I stress to you as mentors, no matter what the clients say, their actions tell the real story of whether or not they want to take the actions necessary to make what they say they want to really happen.
What about it? Are you willing to make an effort to have this blog and forum become valuable to you in your role as a W2W Mentor?
If you need help creating an account or registering or signing in or understanding the whole thing, contact me. You should all have a Thinking 2 Steps Ahead card with my phone number and web site. Or, call the W2W office. They'll give you my number.
