Mentor Leadership Training Course

You chose:

answer A "Steve, great idea! I love computer programming. I started in high school just like you. I used to ace all my classes in high school. That’s what I majored in at college. Now I’m a really good programmer. That’s what I do for my job."



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 Steve
  • does not ask questions to understand what Steve is saying about the class
  • "yakkity yak yaks" about his own achievements.
