Establishing a mentoring relationship can help support your career advancement and and professional growth. Generally speaking, mentorship is development oriented (helps you build skills); Sponsorship is advancement oriented (helps raise your visibility within the organization); Coaching is performance oriented (enables you to improve your skills).
Depending on who your mentor is, they may also be able to serve as a sponsor and/or coach. We encourage you to build a network of support where you can access mentoring, coaching and sponsorship opportunities across your career.
