Dear Mentor, I think it's time we see other people. 
Finding a mentor is important as you grow your career but this is one relationship that doesn't need to last forever. We are constantly developing and growing as women and professionals and the things we look for in a mentor will change over time. I want to discuss the importance of situational mentorship, ensuring you have a number of mentors to lean on for a variety of issues impacting you and your career.
