(How to NOT Feel Overwhelmed)

To me, identifying them is part of what takes the fear away. We are also going to offer some suggestions on how to deal with these complexities.

The 5 common complexities I’m going start with are:

1. Someone Doesn’t Want Help
2. This Is About That
3. Your Behavior, by Itself, Isn’t That Harmful
4. You Don’t Understand the Impact
5. There Are Multiple Behaviors

Once I started to understand some of these common themes and what to do about them, mentoring became a lot easier.

I have also put this into a mini-course that I’m offering for free.
