Ep 189 - 3 Ways To Be An Exceptional Career Sponsor
Career Sponsorship has become critical to women's advancement to leadership. Today, we are discussing the behaviours and actions the most exceptional Sponsors are taking to ensure more talented women are promoted to leadership.
Systemic bias means that men are exposed to opportunities in their careers more readily than their female peers are. Career Sponsors are needed to address that imbalance.
Sponsors are influential leaders within an organisation, who believe in the moral and commercial importance of inclusion, equity and diversity of thought. They are proactive advocates of the talented women they sponsor.
In this episode I am taking you through 3 of the most effective ways a Career Sponsor can help support, and fast track women through the pipeline - they are necessary catalysts to create change faster.
Something Rebecca said today:
"A career sponsor actively seeks out opportunities for their sponsee. Sponsors are the trailblazers of 2025, taking personal responsibility to be part of the equity solution." (Rebecca Allen, host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)
