How can I ensure that my advice is tailored to each Next Gen user's specific needs?

Do your best — remember this is not mentoring or tutoring — Aficionados join Questionpoint to answer questions and share their insight and experiences.

We encourage the Next Gen to lead the conversation and to arrive on the video chat prepared with questions, so all you have to do is honestly answer them. That said, listening carefully and understanding where they’re coming from will help you respond meaningfully. Put yourself in their shoes and consider the journey they are embarking on, and remember that your advice can truly guide them. Identify their goals and work through your advice with that in mind — take your time and explain things clearly and thoughtfully.

If needed, don’t hesitate to guide the Next Gen back to the Example Questions page, and recommend they book a follow-up session once they’ve had a chance to clarify their goals.
