Description
The opportunities we have access to in life are shaped by our background, our environment and our networks. It is difficult to create equitable organizations if a single homogenous group are making most of the decisions. In Reverse Mentoring: Removing Barriers and Building Belonging in the Workplace, coach and author Patrice Gordon describes how connecting senior decision-makers with more junior mentors can help them understand one another. This week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Patrice joins Ross G and Nahdia to discuss: what ‘reverse mentoring’ is the benefits of reverse mentoring for both parties the pitfalls of a reverse mentoring relationship – and how to avoid them. You can buy the book at: littlebrown.co.uk/titles/patrice-gordon/reverse-mentoring/9780349435008/ During the discussion, Ross also referenced The Business of Race.

Patrice discussed I, Human and the work of Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic. And Ross G shared more nonsense from his interactions with ChatGPT.
