Situations
What it sounds like at work, what's underneath it, and what to ask. Browse before a session — or during one.
Which conversation is this?
This changes the questions you'll ask and how you close.
Three questions. One better conversation.
Ask naturally. Listen deeply. Come back after to notice the gist.
Important: this doesn't diagnose your mentee. It helps you notice what might be worth exploring together.
Question 1 · fixed
What's been on your mind most at work this past week?
Same question every time — that's the point. It becomes a ritual they arrive ready for.
Question 2 · fixed
Tell me about a time you felt truly effective — and one where you felt the opposite. What made them different?
Listen for ownership, external blame, comparison, and what they've learned.
Question 3 · fixed
If you could change one thing about how you're seen or heard at work, what would it be — and why?
Listen for assumptions about others, reputation worry, and self-doubt.
What's the gist of what you heard?
Best used within a few hours — while the conversation is still fresh.
Don't hunt for exact words. Tap what's close to the gist of what you remember.
