Who's In Your Corner?
The Sponsorship Conversations That Actually Change Careers
Women in technology are mentored. They are coached. They are encouraged to build their networks, raise their hands, and make their work visible. Yet, many still stall. The missing piece is rarely a matter of skill or effort. It is often sponsorship, and a significant gap remains.
This WIT Forum, presented by Tier4 Group, goes beyond career advice to examine the advocacy relationships that actually change trajectories. Sponsorship is not mentorship. It is not networking. It is someone with organizational power putting their credibility behind your readiness - saying your name in rooms you are not in, creating openings, and following through. For professionals, access to that kind of advocacy is one of the most significant predictors of who advances and who plateaus.
Through candid conversations with leaders and practitioners, attendees will gain clarity on what sponsorship looks like in practice, why it is harder for women to access, what sponsors need from the people they champion, and how individuals and organizations can close the advocacy gap. Designed for women and allies at all career stages and the leaders who are in a position to sponsor. This WIT Forum is a practical, honest conversation about one of the most powerful and underused levers in career development.
Panelists Include:
- (Moderator) Jennifer Baker, CIO, Arvest Bank
- more to come
