The fourth phase in a mentoring relationship is the Transition Phase.

Some mentoring relationships do end, often after an agreed-upon period of time. However, many Mentors and Mentees choose to stay in touch for years after their formal interaction ends.

We're going to talk about the ways your mentoring relationship may end or change. You can feel good about how this can happen.

Keep in mind, though, that in one way mentoring is an ongoing cycle. When a Mentee grows up and decides to become a Mentor, the cycle of giving - you might call it a "virtuous cycle"-continues.
