State what you want to change
Describe the situation, what you have tried and what is not working. Vague goals produce vague guidance.
Bring real work
Share code, proposals, designs or plans from actual projects. Hypothetical examples make it harder to give specific feedback.
Take notes and act
Record the key decisions and agreed next steps. Return with evidence of what changed.
Set the next milestone
End each session with a specific, verifiable goal. Milestones make progress visible to both sides.
Make it specific to your situation.
Use this guide as a starting point. The next useful step is to record the real context, identify the decisions that need an owner and agree what evidence would support the decision.
