Maintaining The Mentor Relationship
A few tips on how we can maintain our relationship with our mentor:
- Let them know how well their invested time is being spent by sending them a summary of what you learn from them.
- Keep the follow up emails regular.
- While not spamming them, you can send them real time text messages of how their advice is helping you.
- Once your mentorship is done, you can keep in touch on a monthly or quarterly basis.
- You can offer to help in making a presentation or conducting an online session for them as a goodwill gesture.
- Send a heartfelt gratitude as what you have taken from them is priceless.
