Reverse mentoring

The rapid technological, social and cultural changes have created a huge gap between the generations of today's business decision-makers (aged 40-60+) and young adults - people entering the labor market and the consumer market (aged 16-25). This gap in understanding the world and approach to life is greater than ever. It poses new challenges for management staff. It is impossible to meet them without insight into what understanding of what is happening today and what vision of the world in the future young adults have. That is why Reverse mentoring creates a program of intergenerational education and inspiration, in which the dialogue of people from different worlds becomes an innovative development tool for managers and an incentive to create a business development strategy that will respond to current and upcoming challenges.

Szkoła Główna Gospodarstwa Wiejskiego

Mentoring is aimed at people who already have some experience, knowledge and perhaps achievements in very different areas of their own activities, but need acceleration, practical tips, want to achieve more and faster in a given area. At the same time, they are aware of the limitations resulting from the lack of their own experience. Your relationship with a mentor is based on mutual understanding, acceptance, respect and trust. A mentor - a person ready to share their knowledge and life experience is prepared to play the role of a supporting guide and advisor in achieving a defined goal.
