Transitioning the Mentoring Relationship • The CFAR mentoring relationship is a minimum of 1 year; may extend beyond • Be clear about why you want to end the relationship. If you've achieved your goals - celebrate! Let you mentor know how they have helped you, and show your appreciation • If you're ending the relationship for other reasons, let your mentor know why • Perhaps the relationship is not moving you forward and you'd like to spend time engaging in other professional development activities • Regardless of the reason why you'd like to end the relationship, it's important to give your mentor clear feedback about what they did well and what might do differently • Mentors frequently become collaborators …always appreciate that the future is unknown and will bring about a surprise
