A proven, evidence-based process that shifts human behaviour
Sponsorship is a proven leadership practice for nurturing career progression that meets both the business needs and individuals’ preferences. This leads to long-term retention of key talent, a robust diverse talent pool for succession planning and ultimately improved business outcomes. Our comprehensive sponsorship program disrupts unconscious and systemic bias that hinders progression of diverse talent. Our approach is twofold: (1) we cultivate inclusive leadership skills in sponsors (2) while empowering sponsees to confidently enhancing their visibility, networks, and strategic expertise all to advance their careers.
Shorter, sharper and scalable career development solutions that empower diverse talent take ownership of their growth and gain career clarity. Our solutions develop the skills, mindsets, and networks needed to build the confidence to advocate for themselves, articulate their unique strengths and take the opportunities to grow and progress as they arise. This drives career mobility in environments where there may be limited horizontal opportunities for progression, however you’d like to invest in the development and retention of key groups.
We deeply understand the cultural and structural barriers that can impact women progressing through different leadership stages. From an intersectionality perspective, we understand that no two women are the same and that many women also fall into other under-represented groups, which may present additional barriers.
Our structured solutions focus on overcoming systemic barriers, enlisting the support and advocacy of senior leaders and the participants’ people leaders. We create safe spaces for each cohort to openly discuss and navigate challenges, for both participants and their leaders. We support talented women to establish a community that works together to raise their visibility and profile, resulting in increased retention, career mobility and promotion rates.
