After spending over two years interviewing multicultural women in the C-suite, entrepreneurs, authors and speakers, we’ve seen a running theme of how women are shattering the glass ceiling and breaking through the concrete ceiling: rule-breaking. But what rules are we talking about and why do they exist? That’s what we explore in the What Rules!? podcast. You’ll learn our six guiding principles for multicultural women looking to outsmart the game to advance their career.

84. How to Find Mentors & Sponsors (Own Your Power Series, Part 3)

The #1 question we get from women of color is, how do I find a mentor and sponsor?

In Part 3 of our Own Your Power Series, we reveal why you need both. “If you’re not sure what you want to do, go to a mentor,” says co-host Alisa Manjarrez. “As soon as you know, go to a sponsor.”

We tell you how to find a mentor who you can trust and is a good fit for you.

We also fill you in on how a sponsor can help you get ahead and the best way to approach a possible candidate.
