Find your voice, claim your space." – Megan Anderson 💡 "You may help others grow by doing the hard thing. So find that motivation somewhere else." – Selina Lamb 💡 "Find a team where people light up when you enter the room. That's where you want to be." – Jessica Wiseman 💡 "Sponsorship isn't just about opening doors—it's about putting someone's name in the room when they aren't there to speak for themselves." – Suzie Smibert Key Takeaways for Listeners: ✔️ Own Your Space – Confidence is key, and so is surrounding yourself with people who believe in you. ✔️ Sponsorship Over Mentorship – Advocates who champion your career make the biggest difference. ✔️ Diverse Hiring Needs a Reboot – The traditional "tech bro" pipeline is outdated—skills and leadership matter more than rigid job descriptions. ✔️ Flexible Work Isn't Just About Fridays Off – True flexibility acknowledges different needs, from working parents to non-traditional work styles. ✔️ Network Relentlessly – Sometimes, your sponsor won't come from your company—build and nurture a strong external network. ✔️ Step Into Challenges – Leadership isn't about knowing everything, it's about being willing to take the lead.
