FREE MENTORING RESOURCE FOR EDUCATORS AND LEADERS
Download the WILD Conversation Compass, a practical guide with 12 mentoring questions and a 10-minute conversation structure to help you build trust, invite ownership, lead through challenge, and deepen learning.
Better Mentoring Starts With a Better Question.
The urge to help can make us answer too quickly. We share the solution, tell the story or step in before the other person has had room to hear their own thinking. Better mentoring does not mean withholding experience. It means knowing when a question will serve the moment better than an answer.
What’s the Compass all about?
12 original mentoring questions, with three questions for each WILD stage
Clear guidance on when and how to use each group of questions
A practical 10-minute WILD conversation structure
A one-page Conversation Compass you can print and keep nearby
A short reflection page to help you improve through practice
Made for real conversations in real learning communities
Use the compass while mentoring a beginning teacher, coaching a colleague, supporting a student leader, debriefing with staff, or guiding someone through a difficult stretch. It is designed for K-12 educators, school leaders, outdoor and experiential educators, mentors, and camp or youth-program leaders.
You do not need a formal mentoring program or an hour-long meeting. Choose one person, one moment and one useful question.
Bring one better question to your next conversation.

Bring curiosity and conversation back to your role!
