Mentor Leadership Training Course

You chose:

answer A "Sheila, you shouldn’t feel sorry for yourself. If you are bored, find something to do. Don’t just complain!"



This is NOT the correct answer.

Here the mentor does not remember to use the LAF, don’t CRY strategy.

In this example, the mentor does not use positive communication skills. The mentor:

  • does not listen to Sheila and show that she cares
  • does not ask questions to understand what Sheila is saying

Instead the mentor

  • criticizes Sheila
  • reacts quickly without thinking about the impact of what she is saying
