Inclusive Mentoring – Reverse Mentoring
Course Introduction
Reverse Mentoring is a popular intervention to support culture, talent and engagement initiatives. The (usually more junior) mentor shares their experience of the organisational culture and advises on how to create a more diverse and inclusive culture. They may also gain insights into how they can make an even greater contribution in their current role as well as progress to more senior roles.
A (usually more senior) mentee learns about the lived experience of someone with a different background and career journey to their own. These insights help inform intersectional and intergenerational approaches in the organisation.
What will participants learn?
The first step is to identify and pair up your mentors and mentees, and we can provide consultancy support if required, to help you make the best possible matches. We know that participants value practical support to enable them to create the conditions for effective reverse-mentoring relationships. Our package provides greater understanding on aspects such as how to create psychological safety. It gives practical tips so participants can set themselves up for success, navigate common pitfalls and achieve personal and organisational outcomes.
