Part 1-(Connection)Mentoring By Asking Questions (MBAQ)

Sample Questions: Ask opened ended questions that require a lengthier reply then yes or no…If a student answers I don’t know you could get more specific

Who makes your life better?
Who are your friends?
Who has had a positive impact on your life?
What are you good at?

Where have you lived?

Why do you like certain classes and not others?
How can I help you reach your goals?

4.Develop Relationships. Long-term mentor-student relationships pay the largest dividends because the value of the relationship can increase over time. In order to develop strong mentor-student relationships, staff should take positive actions to build relationships
5.Exceed Expectations. The greatest opportunity to satisfy and retain customers is to find ways to exceed their expectations. Doing more than a customer expects makes that customer's experience a
