What to look for in a sponsor:

• Level up and look for someone that is outside of your comfort zone
• Someone who will speak on your behalf behind the scenes.
• Recognizes an emerging leader.
• Can create a pathway for you to advance your careers.

Benefits of having a sponsor:

• Your credibility goes up because sponsors will vouch for you and your experience.
• You can trust that your name is being shared at the table.
• You will be elevated to the next level in your career.

Finding a sponsor:

• Look for someone who is different from you.
• Go outside of your comfort zone.
• Find someone who will really help you to stretch your goals.
• Ask for a brief meeting and be clear with your goals and specific with the intention for a sponsor.

“You need to have an intention and you need to communicate that in your communication when reaching out to a sponsor.” -Michele Brown
