Ending a mentoring relationship

It’s totally normal for a mentoring relationship to come to an end — and it’s actually a healthy part of the process.

Here are some signs it might be time to wrap things up:

• You’ve reached your goals

• Meetings feel less focused or don’t happen anymore

• There’s not much left to talk about

• The connection feels one-sided

• You’re ready to move on, but not sure how

💬 How to End It Well:

• Have a final meeting to reflect together

• Look back at what you’ve learned and achieved

• Acknowledge how your goals may have changed

• Set clear boundaries for future contact

• And most importantly: celebrate your journey!

Endings can be emotional, but they’re also a great opportunity to appreciate the growth that’s happened.

Important: If the mentorship match doesn’t feel right or if you believe it should not continue, that’s completely okay. You can contact a member of our ReDI Talent Success Team at [e-mail]. We will assist you in finding a solution or arranging a new match. It's better to address these concerns rather than staying in a mentorship relationship that isn’t fulfilling or has reached its end.
