One of the best things about BCG is that learning happens everywhere.
And one of the opportunities we've really embraced is two-way
mentorship where everyone, no matter what their level, no
matter what their role, has something valuable to share and
equally something valuable to learn.
So this isn't just traditional mentoring flipped on its head.
It's about fostering real important conversations on
topics such as new technology, mental health, emerging leadership styles.
Personally, one example that stands out for me is when I
really locked in on neurodiversity.
I remember this was years ago, we had an intern who was
studying accessibility at work on campus, and I sat down with
her for about, I don't know, 30 minutes.
She had frameworks and thinking for how they were talking about
it, what the research was showing. And in just a few
minutes it really helped me make sense of what we were doing and
seeing within BCG.
She brought new facts to the table, yes, but mostly what she
did was really change my frame, and I'm so appreciative for it.
At BCG, two-way mentorship, it's more than just a practice.
It really is part of who we are and it's how we bring one of our
core purpose principles to life.
Grow by growing others.
That's how we grow--as individuals, as teams and as a firm.
