Mentorship and Sponsorship – Lifting as We Climb

In this episode of Beyond The Cubicle, we’re digging into something we all need more of, real guidance and meaningful support. We're talking mentorship and sponsorship: what they are, how they’re different, why they matter, and how they can shift your entire trajectory as a woman navigating corporate spaces.

From navigating unspoken rules to closing leadership gaps, mentorship and sponsorship aren’t just buzzwords, they’re survival tools. But let’s also be real: not all mentorship is created equal. We unpack the performative empowerment we see too often, what true support actually looks like, and how to reframe what these relationships can be, especially for women of color in the workplace.

Whether you're trying to find a mentor, step into being one, or shift the culture on your team, this episode is for you.
