In this lesson
describe how mentoring changes when the other person is as senior as you.
Planned topics
- Peers do not need teaching; they need a sounding board, different perspective, and honest feedback.
- Ask questions that surface assumptions rather than giving answers.
- Respect their ownership: you help them decide, you do not decide for them.
- Build trust first: show your own uncertainty and learn from them in return.
