00:00:00.375 --> 00:00:04.170
One of the best things about BCG
is that learning happens everywhere.

00:00:04.170 --> 00:00:07.090
And one of the opportunities
we've really embraced is two-way

00:00:07.090 --> 00:00:09.801
mentorship where everyone, no
matter what their level, no

00:00:09.801 --> 00:00:12.637
matter what their role, has
something valuable to share and

00:00:12.637 --> 00:00:14.347
equally something valuable to learn.

00:00:15.557 --> 00:00:18.059
So this isn't just traditional
mentoring flipped on its head.

00:00:18.268 --> 00:00:21.855
It's about fostering real
important conversations on

00:00:21.855 --> 00:00:26.943
topics such as new technology,
mental health, emerging leadership styles.

00:00:28.194 --> 00:00:31.156
Personally, one example that
stands out for me is when I

00:00:31.156 --> 00:00:33.033
really locked in on neurodiversity.

00:00:33.658 --> 00:00:36.453
I remember this was years ago,
we had an intern who was

00:00:36.453 --> 00:00:39.581
studying accessibility at work
on campus, and I sat down with

00:00:39.581 --> 00:00:41.666
her for about, I don't know, 30 minutes.

00:00:42.167 --> 00:00:45.170
She had frameworks and thinking
for how they were talking about

00:00:45.170 --> 00:00:47.630
it, what the research was
showing. And in just a few

00:00:47.630 --> 00:00:50.675
minutes it really helped me make
sense of what we were doing and

00:00:50.675 --> 00:00:51.509
seeing within BCG.

00:00:52.218 --> 00:00:55.013
She brought new facts to the
table, yes, but mostly what she

00:00:55.013 --> 00:00:57.932
did was really change my frame,
and I'm so appreciative for it.

00:00:59.392 --> 00:01:02.187
At BCG, two-way mentorship, it's
more than just a practice.

00:01:02.270 --> 00:01:05.565
It really is part of who we are
and it's how we bring one of our

00:01:05.565 --> 00:01:07.192
core purpose principles to life.

00:01:07.734 --> 00:01:08.777
Grow by growing others.

00:01:09.027 --> 00:01:12.322
That's how we grow--as
individuals, as teams and as a firm.
