Drawing from her research on power, status, and social hierarchy and experience building executive leadership programming, Dr. Chow transforms our understanding of networking and career advancement by differentiating sponsorship from mentorship. She will discuss the core ideas from her book, “The Doors You Can Open,” sharing how looking for opportunities to be a sponsor – rather than a beneficiary of sponsorship – can change how we approach our relationships, build trust, and elevate others, ourselves, and our communities.
