What
each
skill
looks
like
in
an
actual
mentoring
conversation
.
A
Communicating
Well
5
skills
01
Active
Listening
Stay
with
the
thought
until
it
'
s
finished
,
then
repeat
back
what
you
heard
before
you
respond
to
it
.
Most
mentoring
failures
happen
in
the
two
seconds
before
the
mentee
stops
talking
.
02
Open
-
Ended
Questioning
"
What
have
you
already
tried
?"
opens
thinking
. "
Did
you
try
approaching
her
directly
?"
closes
it
.
Learn
the
difference
and
use
it
deliberately
.
03
Clear
,
Specific
Feedback
Describe
the
behaviour
and
its
effect
rather
than
the
person
.
Vague
praise
teaches
nothing
;
vague
criticism
only
wounds
.
04
Plain
-
Language
Explanation
Turn
a
complicated
situation
into
a
short
story
with
one
clear
point
.
Jargon
and
war
stories
from
your
own
career
rarely
transfer
.
05
Empathetic
Curiosity
Ask
what
the
week
was
actually
like
before
asking
about
the
deliverable
.
The
obstacle
is
usually
not
the
one
on
the
plan
.
B
Building
the
Relationship
5
skills
06
Trust
&
Confidentiality
What
is
said
in
the
room
stays
in
the
room
.
Say
this
out
loud
,
once
,
early
—
and
then
prove
it
repeatedly
by
not
repeating
things
.
07
Psychological
Safety
Make
it
normal
to
bring
a
mistake
into
the
conversation
rather
than
hide
it
.
Mentees
who
edit
themselves
get
advice
about
the
wrong
problem
.
08
Cultural
Sensitivity
&
Inclusivity
Notice
whose
communication
style
the
room
rewards
and
who
it
costs
—
including
,
sometimes
,
in
your
own
assumptions
about
what
"
ready
"
looks
like
.
09
Patience
with
Pace
Growth
is
rarely
linear
.
Judge
the
direction
of
travel
,
not
the
speed
of
a
single
month
.
10
Boundary
Setting
Agree
early
what
mentoring
covers
,
how
often
you
meet
,
and
what
sits
outside
it
.
Clear
limits
are
what
make
a
long
mentoring
relationship
survivable
.

C
Growing
the
Mentee
5
skills
11
Coaching
Mindset
Ask
before
advising
.
A
conclusion
the
mentee
reaches
themselves
is
one
they
will
actually
act
on
;
yours
is
one
they
will
politely
agree
with
.
12
Goal
Setting
&
Planning
Help
turn
"
I
want
to
be
more
senior
"
into
three
specific
things
finished
by
a
named
date
,
each
one
observable
by
someone
other
than
the
mentee
.
13
Constructive
Challenge
Name
the
gap
between
their
ambition
and
their
current
habits
—
kindly
,
directly
,
and
without
softening
it
into
a
suggestion
.
14
Recognition
&
Encouragement
Be
specific
about
progress
. "
You
kept
that
meeting
on
agenda
under
pressure
"
lands
where
"
great
job
lately
"
evaporates
.
15
Accountability
Without
Nagging
Follow
up
on
commitments
as
a
matter
of
course
,
not
as
a
reminder
service
.
The
follow
-
up
itself
is
the
intervention
.
D
Managing
Yourself
5
skills
16
Self
-
Awareness
Know
which
of
your
own
career
lessons
are
universal
and
which
were
simply
true
for
you
,
in
your
industry
,
at
that
moment
.
17
Emotional
Regulation
Stay
steady
when
they
are
frustrated
or
defensive
,
so
the
conversation
does
not
inherit
the
mood
and
end
early
.
18
Humility
&
Willingness
to
Learn
"
I
don
'
t
know
"
is
a
legitimate
answer
,
and
so
is
"
let
'
s
find
out
together
."
Pretending
otherwise
costs
you
credibility
the
first
time
it
matters
.
19
Reliability
&
Preparation
Read
what
they
sent
you
.
Arrive
on
time
.
Cancel
rarely
,
and
early
.
Reliability
quietly
communicates
how
much
the
relationship
is
worth
.
20
Adaptability
of
Style
Some
people
need
structure
and
checkpoints
;
others
need
space
to
talk
the
problem
out
loud
.
Match
the
person
,
not
your
preference
.

Opening

4
skills
21
Advocacy
&
Sponsorship
Say
their
name
in
rooms
they
are
not
in
.
Advice
changes
what
someone
knows
;
sponsorship
changes
what
they
get
to
attempt
.
22
Network
Introductions
One
warm
introduction
to
the
right
person
beats
ten
names
on
a
list
.
Always
ask
permission
before
you
make
it
.
23
Facilitating
Difficult
Decisions
Lay
out
the
options
and
the
trade
-
offs
with
them
,
then
let
the
decision
stay
theirs
—
including
when
you
would
choose
differently
.
24
Long
-
Term
Perspective
Mentor
the
career
,
not
just
the
current
role
.
Ask
where
they
want
to
be
in
five
years
before
optimizing
the
next
quarter
.
