+2. Effective questions

Closed questions Open questions

How can you improve the results?

Leading questions Neutral questions

What is the chance that this task will succeed?

What obstacles may interfere with this task?

Isn't it better to put these tasks on hold for the time being?

What are the arguments to proceed with the project?

+Exercise

• Groups of two

• One will listen, the other talk

• Rules: Use the two tools that you have learned so far!

• Time: 2 minutes each

TopicsAny, or: • most memorable meeting

• Best/worse job

• Best/worse travel experience

• My most embarrassing moment

+3. Feedback

The important thing to know when you give feedback is that the mentee have to evolve. And it should give the mentee positive change through increased drive.

Be careful when you give feedback and think about your body language and how you use your voice.

+4. Accountability

The best plans are those who get us to act, they will get us to be conscious at the target and engaged.

Accountability is important to get the mentee to "take action", and something that will be done toward the end of the conversation.

+5. Recognition

The recognition must be spontaneous, real and characterized by the emotion you where having in the whole conversation.

Give more if the effect is weaker than wanted. Stop in time.

Say: «I believe in you»!!!
