MentorRequest — The Ask That Actually Lands

Draft a cold ask to someone 10–20 years ahead of you and watch the response-rate climb as you replace unbounded language, add a specific question, time-box it, prove you know their work, and close with reciprocity. Two rounds: the draft, then the landing.

Who it is for

An intermediate simulation for participants who already know the core concepts of the subject, designed for master's and MBA programmes.

How a session runs

  1. The instructor creates a session from the Eureka dashboard and invites the participants.
  2. Participants play 2 rounds. In each one they submit their decisions and the simulation calculates the results.
  3. The simulation can be run in English, Español.
  4. The instructor follows each participant's progress and results from the dashboard, and uses the class results for the debrief.

Decisions participants make

The decisions participants make during the simulation:

  • Recipient (one-line description)
  • The single specific question you want answered
  • Time-box of the ask
  • Approximate word count of the message
  • The one-sentence why-them (proof you know their work)
  • Reciprocity close (what you offer back)
  • My draft uses the word "mentor" or "mentorship"
  • My draft uses "pick your brain"
  • My draft asks for permission to ask (meta-ask)
  • My draft hedges (no pressure, sorry to bother, etc.)
