Reverse Mentoring
What is Reverse Mentoring?
Reverse Mentoring follows the same principles of traditional Mentoring but with a twist, as both people learn from each other. This boosts both parties’ level of understanding, communication, and collaboration. It recognises the experience levels of both Mentee and Mentor and allows them to learn from one another, as both have valuable knowledge to share.
In Reverse Mentoring, the more experienced or more knowledgeable person does not need to be in a more senior role or older. Anyone experienced in a topic, can help guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. The Mentor may be older or younger, but brings a certain area of expertise.
It creates more inclusivity and cross-generational learning, helping each other to grow, develop and reach their full potential and both individuals will benefit.
In reverse mentoring, two people enter a "professional friendship“ with unlimited possibilities. Within their conversations, they exchange skills, knowledge and build understanding.
