First, listen actively to the person's problem and ask clarifying questions. Then, offer your perspective and possible solutions, but also encourage them to make their own decision.
It's okay to acknowledge that you may not have all the answers. You can offer to research the topic or suggest seeking advice from someone with more expertise in the area.
The best way to gauge the effectiveness of your advice is to ask for feedback from the person you gave it to. They can let you know if it was useful and if they followed through with it.
Remember that ultimately, the decision is up to the person seeking advice. If they choose not to follow your advice, respect their decision and offer your support regardless.
It is generally best to wait for someone to ask for your advice before offering it. However, if you have a close relationship with the person and believe your advice could genuinely help them, it may be appropriate to gently offer it. Just be prepared for the possibility that they may not want to hear it.
