Whilst senior leaders may feel that the time commitment is an obstacle, all those involved in reverse mentoring have described the experience as a positive enhancement to their own development and to the greater promotion of diversity and inclusion in their workplace. The exchange of perspectives is fundamental to greater cultural and generational understanding and competence, which then generates innovative ideas and solutions.

"This was an incredibly rewarding and challenging experience especially in terms of learning how younger colleagues perceive management, the behaviours they value and those they don't. The most interesting was that often they don't want or expect leaders to share their own values and behaviours - but they do expect leaders to live theirs."Feedback from a Mentor
"It's a wonderful space to expand my network. Really enjoyed and appreciated my mentors commitment to this dynamic."Feedback from a Mentee
