How to make a mentoring conversation more useful.

You do not need to arrive with all the answers. A little preparation can help a mentor understand your situation and make the conversation more relevant.

01

Bring the real question

Write down the decision you are facing and the options you see. Explain what makes it difficult: missing information, competing priorities or uncertainty about your strengths.

02

Share context and examples

Bring a job description, a resume or a short account of a project when it helps explain your situation. Specific examples are easier to discuss than broad judgments about whether you are “good enough.”

03

Ask about the reasoning

When a mentor suggests a direction, ask what makes it worth considering and how you can test it. Useful guidance should help you make better decisions yourself.

04

Leave with an action

Choose a practical next step and a review point. Note what you will research, try or prepare. Your progress happens in the work between conversations as well as during them.
