After becoming the first reverse mentor at Virgin Atlantic, Patrice Gordon developed an insatiable desire to understand how this transformative tool could be used to develop inclusivity in leadership – now the author of “Reverse Mentoring Removing Barriers and Building Belonging in the Workplace”. Patrice stands at the intersection of leadership, innovation, and diversity. A chartered accountant by training, Patrice’s career has soared beyond the confines of numbers to the dynamic realms of commercial aviation leadership, executive coaching, and authorship.
As the founder of Eminere.co.uk, Patrice has harnessed her voice to champion inclusive leadership, mentoring, and emotional intelligence, becoming a beacon for change and empowerment in the corporate world and beyond. Her work is not just her job; it’s her calling. Patrice is a renowned inclusive leader expert, specialising in the nuanced art of reverse mentoring — a testament to her belief in the power of diverse perspectives and mutual learning. In a world craving authentic leadership and genuine progress, Patrice’s commitment to empowering individuals and organisations to embrace inclusivity and diversity is not just timely; it is imperative. Patrice is a multi-hyphenate business executive, with an insatiable drive that she credits to her Caribbean heritage.
