Effective Career Sponsorship

What is Career Sponsorship?
Sponsorship is a powerful relationship between a senior leader and a high-potential protégée based on advocacy and performance. Protégées are women professionals with significant work experience. It is a concept where the sponsor provides advice and guidance to their protégé to advance their careers. Sponsors set clear goals and expectations for each protégé, accelerating their learning curves and careers. Sponsorship is especially critical for underrepresented talent groups like women, who often have limited networks and fewer role models.
