Writing with Non-dominant Hand

Last but not least, one interesting exercise suggested by the Prince’s Trust trainer drives home a key point in mentoring. He asked the mentor volunteers to fill in an application form with our non-dominant hands in 2 minutes imagining we were at the counter of a job center with a long line of other applicants waiting impatiently behind us. On the surface, other people in the queue might not have realized that we were at a disadvantage (by writing with our non-dominant hands). By the same token, we should not judge others too quickly without understanding where they are coming from and the reasons behind their actions and behaviors. It was a good lesson and reminder.
