Mentors and Sponsors:
A Must Have for Women's Success
We know Sheryl Sandberg may not have climbed her ladder to success without her mentor Lawrence Summers. In her best seller, Lean In, she identifies him as a mentor who was the catalyst for her success. Women need someone to lean in with them. For women to advance, she needs to acquire both a mentor and a sponsor. What is the difference between a mentor and a sponsor?
A mentor is a coach and can be either a man or woman who has experience in the ranks. We consult them about career strategies, how to handle a difficult boss or if we should go back to school for that MBA. Mentors serve as a sounding board offering advice and support when needed.
A sponsor is a powerfully positioned champion who can serve as an advocate on your behalf. They introduce you to important players and assignments. The trade off for the sponsor is if you perform well, they look good too. Outstanding performance is expected. Trust is the core of the sponsor relationship. It's in this area that women fail to get the help they need. Unfortunately, senior leaders who are the candidates for sponsors are typically white males and they usually choose people they feel most comfortable with-other white males.
No matter how hard you lean in , your individual effort requires someone to coach you and someone who has the power to propel you. |

People are saying about Audrey |
Audrey,
Thank you so much for taking the time to come and work with the Women of Molnlycke this week! You are an inspiring, passionate leader and as a woman who is developing my career, I'd love the chance to learn from you.

Hi Audrey,
Thank you for your quick response. We are still talking today in the office about what an impact you had on the women at the meeting. One of my 30ish male colleagues asked what we talked about and I shared your comment that “women talk in code”. He looked at me like I had cracked the Rosetta Stone. It was hilarious, but he then acknowledged that he never seemed to get it right. I think we need a Part II with you and our men.
Many thanks for your materials and references and thanks, too for taking the time to chat with me about this. It was a pleasure to meet you, too.
All the best,
Jennie Waddington

You Don’t Say – Navigating Nonverbal Communication Between the Sexes |
 |
You Don't Say is the first book to explore the misunderstandings that often arise between the sexes due to nonverbal communication — and to show readers how to say what they mean and get what they want. More than words, it's nonverbal cues that have the power to improve — or impair — our interactions with the opposite sex at home and in the workplace. |
