This document summarizes a presentation on how sponsorship can drive career advancement for women. It defines mentoring as a developmental relationship while sponsorship involves a senior-level individual assisting a protégé. Research shows women with mentors achieve higher salaries but mentoring alone is insufficient. Sponsorship is important because women face double binds from gender stereotypes and high competence standards. The presentation urges engaging men in gender initiatives and provides Catalyst resources on maximizing mentoring and securing sponsorship.
