What good looks like

Mentora scores every attempt on these.

  • Clarity
    Short, plain sentences. One idea at a time.
  • Structure
    A clear beginning, middle and end that’s easy to follow.
  • Relevance
    You answer what the situation actually needs.
  • Confidence
    Direct language, no “maybe” or “I think”.
  • Filler words
    Few “um”, “like” or “basically”. Pauses instead.
Coach tip

Start from their goals. Reduce the risk. Ask for something small.
