Having a sponsor is key to getting ahead in your career.

They can advocate for you behind closed doors on important decisions, like compensation and promotion. They have the power to place you into bigger and better career opportunities. So, they’re critical to your career success.

But, how do you find a sponsor and cultivate this rare and important relationship?

In this month’s Career Mastery Live, discover how to identify, attract, and build a relationship with a sponsor who can propel your career forward.

You’ll learn:

What to look for in a great sponsor (and how to spot the wrong fit)
How they are different from mentors
How to start building a relationship with a potential sponsor
What to do if you’ve lost a sponsor or never had one
How to avoid waiting around to be “discovered” by a sponsor
And more

You don’t have to navigate your career alone. The right sponsor can make all the difference – and this is your chance to learn how to find yours.
