Reverse Coaching 2023

Reverse coaching program 2023

Are you interested in personal development, gaining new experiences and curious about what is top of mind of our more senior colleagues? Then the Reverse Coaching program might be an interesting experience for you!

The Reverse Coaching program (before reverse mentoring) is an initiative from Young Rabo for which we are looking for enthusiastic Young Rabo members who want to participate in a unique coaching experience! The program has been a big success over the last few years. Therefore we are glad to announce that this program will continue to be organized this year.

With the Reverse Coaching program we will match you, “as a junior”, with senior colleagues (scale ≥11) for a unique coaching experience. But there is a twist: The “senior” will not be coaching you, but you will coach the “senior”!

In multiple coaching sessions, you have the opportunity to ask surprising questions to provide your matched coachee/senior with new insights and help him/her with a personal or work-related coaching topic. Next to that, we encourage them to share their top-of-mind thoughts, decisions to be made and daily activities and or dilemmas with you. 

Interested? Excited? Enthusiastic?

Please sign-up for the kick-off event and you will be matched with a senior colleague (scale ≥11) from one of the many departments within the bank. We strive to make a unique match for everyone (outside your domain).
