As a mentor, you can provide tips, guidance and even advice sometimes - take some time to understand where your mentee is coming from to ensure your suggestions are relevant to their needs. However, this changes when your mentee is faced with big decisions such as whether to apply for a promotion or which job opportunity to take. This is when you need to ask your mentee a series of questions that help them to dig deeper in exploring the issue and figuring out the right solution for themselves.
