Preparing for Senior Leadership

Learn how to put sponsorship and mentorship into action as you prepare for senior positions. Locate credible mentors and sponsors and overcome cultural communication bias to be your own best advocate and move past the mid-level manager position. You’ll also learn to recognize that not all mentorships develop into sponsorships and how to identify a "secret sponsor"—someone who has quietly monitored your leadership.
