World Youth Skills Day

So World Youth Skills Day was on July 16th, the day we celebrate the talents and potential of young people. At The Change Business, we know how important it is to nurture these skills for our future leaders. One powerful way we do this is through mentoring.

Mentoring goes beyond just sharing knowledge; it’s about empowering young professionals with the wisdom we’ve gained from our own experiences. Roshini shared her wonderful mentoring journey (you can find her original post in the first comment below). Her story shows how transformative this process can be. Though hesitant at first, she discovered that her experiences were incredibly valuable for those starting their careers. This exchange enriches both the mentees and mentors, boosting confidence and reaffirming expertise.

At The Change Business, we also believe in reverse mentoring. Young people bring fresh perspectives and tech skills that benefit seasoned professionals. As we mark this day, let’s embrace the idea that learning happens in both directions. Whether through traditional mentoring or reverse mentoring, everyone has something important to offer each other.

If you’ve ever doubted your ability to mentor because you don’t feel like an “expert,” remember: your unique experiences are priceless. There’s always someone who can benefit from what you’ve learned. Let’s keep learning, growing, and evolving together—because we’re all on this journey together.
