Being knowledgeable of these challenges will help you be better prepared for any obstacles you face while mentoring your protégé. At Discovering Options, our mentors continually try to improve their mentoring skills. Here you’ll find resources for dealing with tough issues as well as ideas for things to do with your protégé in St. Louis.
