Stop Mentoring, Start Sponsoring

DEI expert Mita Mallick says, “In my career, I’ve been over-mentored and under-sponsored.”

‍

In other words, she’s worked for many companies that hand out advice to marginalized employees – but very few who do the work to uplift, resource, and promote them.

Join us for a super-tactical, super-honest conversation about building a diverse leadership team. We’ll tackle questions like:

‍

• Our leadership team is all white, and they’re not planning to quit. Where do I start in diversifying the team?
• We offer professional development resources to our employees, but no one uses them. What more can we be expected to do?
• I know pay equity is a problem, but our budgets are stretched as it is. What do I do? 
• Networking is a huge part of getting promoted. So what – do all my underrepresented employees need to learn how to play golf?
