My main role as a mentor is to support, inspire, and encourage my mentee through thoughtful conversation and consultation. To use my expertise and experience to help them grow and achieve their goals. I’m a big believer that being a high-level mentor is *not* about having all the right answers for your mentee. But rather helping your mentee navigate and figure out the right answers for themselves.
Loves this! I always tell designers to reframe challenges as growth opportunity and talk about that. Those stories show greta skills more than polished design. Your suggestions are really good to get great conversations and allow reflection.
Also never thought about trusting intuition. I’ll definitely use those tips!
These are really solid mentoring principles! As someone who has mentored enough folks in the past, this is a great summary of the best practices that I've learned. I think mentorship and coaching sometimes get confused, but what you've shared here shows a path that is an in between (which is what I personally subscribe to).

Thanks Raff! That's awesome. I agree, those stories are especially important when interviewing!
