"After a year of reverse mentoring, I’ve had the privilege of meeting my mentor in person in April 2023. I had the opportunity to be challenged and coached by my mentor and had improved business practices and professional interactions. Our sessions brought unique strengths. I’ve gained digital skills from my mentor, and in return, I presented him with examples of behavior in the corporate environment and relationships with senior people. I was able to offer wisdom and adaptability, and my mentor contributed with creativity and explanations about new generation perceptions.
Reverse mentoring is a powerful concept that bridges the generational gap in the workplace, facilitating respectful relationships and strengthening talent retention.
I’m very proud of his achievements. He learns quickly, is determined, focused, and is developing the skills for a bright future." Mentee Rafaela
"During my time in the reverse mentoring scheme, I had many conversations and discussions with my mentee Rafaela. We discussed topics tying together generational differences and answered questions that both of us had about the future of the insurance industry. I was gifted the opportunity to learn about Rafaela’s impressive career along with her experience in the insurance market. It was thoroughly enjoyable meeting Rafaela and mentoring her when facing tribulations posed by the youth in the insurance industry. I believe that we both learnt a lot about the industry and its future whilst making a friendly connection across the globe." Mentor Zain
