Kirstyn, It doesn't matter what your general setting for forwarding is, this is unrelated. He means for you to click the "Add Forwarding Address" button there. Then create a filter that matches "from:me" (yes you can just say "me") and the action is "Forward to " and select the address you've added.
You'll have to get confirmation via a code that your team member will receive before you'll be able to automatically forward any of the messages.
