Blick Rothenberg - Reverse mentoring
The theme for Black History Month 2022 is Time for Change: Action Not Words.
Alma, a Senior Manager in our US/UK Private Client team talks to Partner, Jim Brown (Leadership Team sponsor for our emBRace employee network), whom she has been reverse mentoring.
Reverse mentoring is when a senior leader is mentored by a more junior colleague who, from a diversity and inclusion perspective, may be different from them in some way, and therefore experiences their career differently. The focus of reverse mentoring is to increase the mentee's inclusion skills. However, mentors are also provided with the opportunity to learn from their mentee's experiences, so it is a career development opportunity for both.
Throughout October, emBRace (our firm’s network that represents and values the views of our Black and ethnic minority colleagues) are undertaking activities both internally and externally that not only acknowledge Black History Month but demonstrate a commitment to “Action not words”.
