By promoting internally an active mentorship and sponsorship program from top down, leaders can improve productivity, increase employee satisfaction, and set a clear reference point for tracking progress.

In this presentation, Goldie shows leaders how to invest intelligently in career development for their team members. Your organization’s leadership will be equipped with the skills to grow a thriving, supportive and cyclical environment of mentorship and sponsorship.

PERSONAL BRANDING FOR LEADERS

Growing a personal brand as a leader encourages stronger internal advocacy and also helps to promote the company as a whole. Goldie encourages leaders to develop their own brand that ties into the overarching corporate brand so both parties benefit.

Goldie will share actionable steps for building their brand while supporting the corporate brand message – creating a healthy ecosystem for a leader to use their brand to effectively network, encourage sales and corporate brand awareness.

While research shows that public companies with female CEOs or CFOs were often more profitable, it is still under ten percent of all Fortune 500 companies, leaving many women without a clear top-level example to follow. By crafting dedicated opportunities, supporting internal organizations and mentorship/sponsorship programs for women, teams and companies can grow while supporting their employees. Goldie will show how to set up and nurture a successful environment for women at work that encourages career growth, feedback that is heard and greater awareness of this vital segment of the work population.
