Listening, being direct, and showing yourself as a partner instead of perfect are important qualities.
I bet we all can think of people it's almost impossible to talk to.
And other people we keep some 1:1 meetings even after switching teams, just because we both trust each other. Having this kind of person in your network helps you soundboard some important decisions, and you can be their soundboard.
Straight to the point. I really believe ib 'share how you overcame something similar' - as long as it comes with the right caveats. I like to just share what worked, and let them know that for them it might be something completly different, and not 'push' my solution to the problem on them.
I think the common thread is being humble and honest.

Happy to see that you relate to it and have an almost similar approach.
