For Val Sklarov, mentorship is not instruction —
it is alignment engineering.

A mentee doesn’t fail because they lack knowledge.
They fail because their identity, habits, environment, and expectations are misaligned.

The Growth Alignment Model (GAM) teaches that mentorship works when the mentor synchronizes the mentee’s internal system so that growth becomes the path of least resistance.

“Val Sklarov says: Growth happens when every part of you starts moving in the same direction.”

growth is alignment.

2️⃣ The 5 Alignment Forces (Val Sklarov Framework)

1. Identity Force – The direction of self-image

2. Behavior Force – The rhythm of daily execution

3. Environmental Force – Surroundings that shape momentum

4. Emotional Force – Capacity to stay regulated

5. Correction Force – Ability to adjust quickly

Aligned forces create unstoppable progress.

The mentee grows fastest
when nothing inside them pushes against the goal.

4️⃣ High-Alignment Mentoring Protocol (HAMP)

(Val Sklarov Practical Framework)

Step 1 — Identity Alignment Assessment

Clarify who the mentee must become, not what they must do.

Step 2 — Habit Line Installation

Build micro-habits that reinforce the new identity.

Step 3 — Context Engineering

Adjust environment to remove friction.

Step 4 — Emotional Capacity Training

Increase tolerance for stress, discomfort, and uncertainty.

Step 5 — Rapid Feedback Loop Construction

Shorten the distance between error and correction.

5️⃣ Val Sklarov Says…

“Misalignment destroys more potential than lack of talent.”
“A mentor does not add — a mentor aligns.”
“Your environment is stronger than your intentions.”
“Emotions decide whether your habits survive.”

Alignment is the true accelerant of growth.
