Feeling stalled out, passed over, invisible even? One of the root causes of the Great Resignation is not having an opportunity to do fulfilling work that grows your career. The antidote: something called sponsorship. Let's explore this strategy to grow leaders while encouraging diversity and inclusion at the top levels of organizations.

While mentorship is focused on growing specific skill sets, sponsorship is about strategic leadership development.
Sponsors are in leadership positions and willing to work with proteges to help close the gaps in their leadership abilities. That way, they are qualified for promotions.
Sponsors are willing to expend their political capital in the workplace to advocate for the advancement of their protege.
This strategy is mutually beneficial because it helps leadership to move beyond a "looks like me" bias.
Want to learn more about how to position yourself to be sponsored? Contact me at angela@architectingpodcast.com to schedule a free consult on whether one on one coaching is right for you. I have just two spots left- make one of them yours.
