Episodes Summary

There are four people that you need in your career. The first is an ally. This person is the person speaking up in difficult situations. They are speaking to tough situations and they are consistent and persistent in seeing change happen on your behalf.

The second is the mentor. This is the one that many people are talking about these days. A mentor provides guidance and advice to you throughout your career. These can be short or long-term relationships. How to find a mentor can be difficult. Networking is key. Mentors can be male or female, the same ethnic group or not. They have to be willing to guide you with proper guidance and advice. 

The third is the sponsor. This is the person that can help move your chessboard. They are literally speaking about you in spaces that you aren't in. They are advocating for you. They endorse you. They don't take this role lightly and you shouldn't either. They are taking their professional reputation on what they know about you. 

The final one is the friend. Everyone needs someone to get a cup of coffee with at work. Someone you can spend a few minutes talking about the latest show or Tik Tok with.  They can be the work friend. Someone that you can relax just a bit with while at work.
