Securing Executive Sponsorship Workshop

Research shows that developmental relationships in the workplace, in particular sponsorship, positively impact career growth. In this working session we will discuss your sponsorship case to help strengthen your strategic and tactical approach to increase your chances of success. To set the stage for your individualized support, we will share research and best practice, layer in an understanding of how our social identities distinctly influence our access to sponsorship. We will consider common challenges, engage in individual reflection, and discuss the behaviors and organizational interventions that contribute to a culture where access to sponsorship is increasingly equitable. Those also seeking to provide sponsorship to junior colleagues will be better equipped after this session. To make this workshop as effective as possible, in your application we asked you to share your specific sponsorship challenges and learning objectives.  Thank you for sharing. Session planning is being done with your particular case in mind.

This workshop is presented by Umi Howard, Senior Director, McNulty Leadership Program
