Being mentored teaches you how to become a mentor; gaining influence puts you in a position to be a sponsor.
I have written about how valuable it is for women in technology to find a mentor or sponsor to help them move ahead in their careers. While it is clear that women and men need to develop the same skills to be successful in their professions, women’s experience of the career journey is very different from that of their male counterparts. These differences are often due to a combination of factors that includes both the women themselves and the environments in which they operate.
