New Podcast Episode: Ghosting in Mentoring Relationships

Phoenix, AZ. October 22, 2024.- In this episode of The Mentorship Blueprint, hosts Jacki Robinson and Mark tackle an often-overlooked challenge in mentorship—when teen mentees “ghost” their mentors. While ghosting is typically associated with personal relationships, it can also happen in mentoring dynamics. Jacki and Mark normalize ghosting as a part of relationships with teens, explore why young people might suddenly cut off communication, and strategize ways to respond intentionally.

Is it fear of disappointing their mentor? Feeling overwhelmed by personal challenges? Or something else entirely? Jacki and Mark break down these potential causes and share actionable steps for mentors to take when ghosting happens. Instead of feeling frustrated, mentors can learn how to keep the lines of communication open and support their mentees through tough times.

Whether you’re a seasoned mentor or just starting out, this episode offers valuable insights on navigating ghosting in mentoring relationships. Tune in on Spotify, Amazon, or Apple Podcasts to learn how to respond with understanding and maintain a positive, open environment for young mentees—even when communication breaks down.
