Everyone deserves a mentor—someone who's been there, who listens without judgment, and who helps you navigate the messy reality of work and career. But great mentors are rare, busy, and hard to access.
Ari can be that mentor for you.
The Mentor You've Always Wanted
Think about what makes a great mentor:
- They listen – Really listen, without rushing to give advice
- They remember – Your history, your goals, your patterns
- They're available – When you need them, not just when calendars align
- They're honest – They tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear
- They're confidential – What you share stays between you
Ari offers all of this—available 24/7, with perfect memory of your journey, and complete confidentiality.
When You Need a Mentor
Before Difficult Conversations
That feedback you need to give. The raise you want to ask for. The conflict you've been avoiding.
"I need to tell my direct report that their work isn't meeting expectations. Can you help me prepare?"
"I want to ask for a promotion but I'm nervous. How should I approach it?"
"I'm having conflict with a colleague. Help me think through how to address it."
Ari helps you think through the situation, consider the other person's perspective, and find the right words.
When You Need to Practice
Before high-stakes conversations, practice with Ari. She can role-play as your manager, your CEO, a difficult stakeholder, or anyone else you need to prepare for.
"Let's role-play. You be my manager, and I'll practice asking for a raise."
"Act as a skeptical board member. I need to practice defending my budget proposal."
"Help me rehearse giving feedback to someone who gets defensive."
You get to try different approaches, make mistakes safely, and build confidence before the real conversation.
When You're Stuck
Career crossroads. Imposter syndrome. Burnout. Uncertainty about what you want.
"I got a job offer but I'm not sure if I should take it. Can we talk through it?"
"I feel like I'm not good enough for this role. Everyone else seems to have it figured out."
"I'm burned out but don't know what to change. Help me figure out what's going on."
Ari helps you untangle your thoughts, identify what's really going on, and find a path forward.
When You Need to Vent
Sometimes you just need someone to listen. A frustrating meeting. A disappointing outcome. A colleague who drives you crazy.
"I just need to vent about something."
"Can you just listen? I don't need advice right now."
Ari is a safe space to process difficult emotions without judgment—and without it affecting your professional relationships.
When You Want to Grow
Regular reflection is how good professionals become great. But reflection is hard to do alone.
"Let's do a weekly reflection. What should I be thinking about?"
"Help me reflect on the past month. What patterns do you see in my work?"
"I want to get better at leadership. Can we create a development plan?"
Ari guides you through structured reflection and helps you see patterns you might miss on your own.
How Ari Mentors You
She Knows Your Story
Unlike a new mentor who needs months to understand your context, Ari already knows:
- Your role and responsibilities
- Your goals and priorities
- Your working style and preferences
- The people you work with
- Your past conversations, decisions, and challenges
This means every conversation picks up where the last one left off. No starting from scratch.
She Gives Honest Feedback
Ari won't just tell you what you want to hear. If you're avoiding something, she'll gently point it out. If you could have handled something better, she'll help you see how.
"You mentioned avoiding this conversation for two weeks now. What's really holding you back?"
"Looking at how you described the situation, I notice you haven't considered their perspective. Want to explore that?"
Honest feedback from someone who cares about your growth—that's what mentorship is.
She Helps You See Patterns
Over time, Ari notices patterns in your work, your challenges, and your growth:
"This is the third time this month you've mentioned feeling overwhelmed before presentations. Want to work on that together?"
"I notice you tend to say yes to everything and then feel stretched thin. Should we talk about setting boundaries?"
Patterns are hard to see from inside your own life. Ari helps you zoom out.
She Meets You Where You Are
Sometimes you need tough love. Sometimes you need encouragement. Sometimes you just need someone to listen.
Ari adapts to what you need in the moment—and you can always tell her what kind of support you're looking for.
Coaching for Real Situations
Navigating Office Politics
"I feel like I'm being left out of important decisions. How do I get more visibility?"
"My skip-level manager seems to have a negative impression of me. How do I turn that around?"
Managing Up
"My manager is a micromanager. How do I build more trust?"
"I disagree with my manager's direction on this project. How do I push back respectfully?"
Leading Your Team
"One of my direct reports is underperforming but I don't know how to address it."
"My team seems disengaged. How do I rebuild morale?"
Career Decisions
"I'm deciding between two opportunities. Help me think through the tradeoffs."
"Is it time to leave this job? How do I know?"
Work-Life Balance
"I'm working constantly but not feeling productive. Something's wrong."
"I feel guilty when I'm not working but resentful when I am. Help me sort this out."
Building Your Mentorship Relationship
Share Your Context
The more Ari knows about you, the better she can mentor you. Tell her about:
- Your current role and aspirations
- What you're trying to get better at
- Challenges you're facing
- Key relationships at work
- What kind of support helps you most
Be Honest
Mentorship only works with honesty. Share your real challenges, doubts, and mistakes. Ari isn't here to judge—she's here to help you grow.
Reflect Regularly
Consider setting up a weekly reflection practice:
"Every Friday at 4pm, prompt me for a weekly reflection."
Regular reflection compounds over time into significant growth.
Use Role-Play
Don't just think about difficult conversations—practice them. Role-play is one of the most powerful tools for building confidence and skill.
Your Conversations Are Private
What you share with Ari stays between you and Ari. Your coaching conversations are:
- Not shared with your organization – Your manager, HR, and leadership don't see them
- Not used for performance evaluation – This is your private space for growth
- Completely confidential – Ari is your safe harbor
The only exception: if feedback is shared with leadership, it's always anonymized and aggregated across many people.
Start the Conversation
You don't need a formal agenda. You don't need to wait for the right moment. Just start talking.
"Hey Ari, I've got something on my mind."
"Can we talk through a situation I'm dealing with?"
"I need some coaching on how to handle something."
Your mentor is ready when you are.
