You have a mentor, but your career still is not moving. That might be because mentorship and sponsorship are not the same thing. A mentor invests their time in you. A sponsor invests their reputation. In this episode, Dr. Janel Anderson breaks down the real difference between mentors and sponsors and shares four tactical steps for getting the career advocate most people are missing. She covers how to assess whether your work is sponsor-worthy, how to identify the right person two levels above you, how to build a relationship with genuine mutual benefit, and the exact language for making a direct ask without pressure. If nobody is saying your name in the rooms that matter, this episode will show you how to change that.Find show notes at https://janelanderson.com/263
