Provide a follow-up
A follow-up message is a brick in the foundation of a solid mentorship. You demonstrate your serious intentions and desire for a long-term relationship by sending a follow-up. You may summarize the key points you've discussed, define future steps, and mention the agreed time of the next meeting.
If you haven't gotten along with a mentor and don't see a future in this collaboration, send a thank-you note for the mentor's time. Politely notify them that you don't want to continue and explain the reason if necessary.
Pro Tip: Notify each other of your unavailability in advance if you’ll be taking a break or will have limited access to your phones or the internet.
