Improving communication as a mentee involves active listening, asking questions, and being open to feedback. Would you like tips on any specific area?

Yes, how can I ask better questions during our meetings?

To ask better questions, prepare in advance, focus on open-ended questions, and clarify any doubts you have. Would you like examples?

That would be great! Can you give me some examples of open-ended questions?

Sure! You could ask, 'What challenges have you faced in your career?' or 'How do you approach problem-solving in your field?' These encourage detailed responses.
