Episode Overview
Mentor and Sponsor Relationships are:
1. Defined relationships
2. Structured and intentional with a common goal
3. Pragmatic and sensible
Mentoring:
• can expose diverse individuals into new and insightful professional realms
• Mentorship is not limited to just the workplace. In some organizations, Diversity pipelines can be weak. It’s important that non-diverse leaders assist in mentoring outside of the organization for a greater impact.
Sponsorship:
• Is more effective than mentoring in delivering real-world results because they directly create career progress
• A sponsor can help take charge of the professional experiences and positioning for your career
In part two we will discuss it from three perspectives:
✓ Leadership second their impact on leaders
✓ Coaching - provide some practical application some do’s and don’ts related to mentors/mentees and sponsorship
