During these unprecedented times, in our world, relative to Social Injustice, many companies have crafted and communicated statements condemning Systemic Racism and are calling for Change. While we applaud these initial efforts. The real question is  "How many of these same companies have failed to take action?"
 
 In this Podcast Series - "I'm only here so I don't get fined", we highlight CEO/Executives who are not just making statement to avoid being "fined" by the court of public opinion, social media or by their customer's wallets. But because, they authentically desire to see change, Personally and within their organizations. This desire turns Into ACTION!

Our guest for this episode are:
Jeanette Cross, is the first female President of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (Maryland Chapter) in seven years. Jeanette is also Managing Director at Berkeley Research Group.

Linker Mills, President-Elect Healthcare Financial Management Association and
Director, Finance and Revenue Management at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center.

Let’s Demystify Mentorship vs Sponsorship - Once and for All!
On Today’s episode - Pt. Two - we will demystify and take a deep dive into the mentor and sponsor relationship and define their importance along the leadership journey. We Set the stage and focus on Mentor and Sponsorship as it relates to Diversity.

These two episodes are dedicated in loving memory to my good friend and mentor Jim Hogan a loving husband, father and leader. Jim impacted my life in so many ways from our love of sports, leadership and developing people. But most of all his love of life and sense of humor were the true genius of his leadership and why so many people loved him. Jim Hogan, a great husband, father, leader and friend.

Episode Overview
Mentor and Sponsor Relationships are:
1. Defined relationships
2. Structured and intentional with a common goal
3. Pragmatic and sensible
Mentoring:
• can expose diverse individuals into new and insightful professional realms
• Mentorship is not limited to just the workplace. In some organizations, Diversity pipelines can be weak. It’s important that non-diverse leaders assist in mentoring outside of the organization for a greater impact.
Sponsorship:
• Is more effective than mentoring in delivering real-world results because they directly create career progress
• A sponsor can help take charge of the professional experiences and positioning for your career

In part two we will discuss it from three perspectives:
✓ Leadership second their impact on leaders
✓ Coaching - provide some practical application some do’s and don’ts related to mentors/mentees and sponsorship

This episode is all about the Genesis of the leader's journey (individual and organization) for black and minority leaders and the organizations willing to embrace leadership development and equity. 

We started with premise that:

 1. Every leader has a leadership journey and seminal moments in their life that impacted them and transformed them into the leader they are today.                         
 2. If you are called to lead ...lead; Not everyone is called to be a leader and not everyone knows how to lead.

Lastly we broke-down the Leadership Journey into three critical elements:
✓ Growth - Leaders need to be Planted emotionally and be able to Identity current blind-spots  embark upon an exhaustive Self-Awareness analysis
 ✓ Empowerment - give yourself the authority and power to have a sustained impact on your life and those you lead.
 ✓ Multiply your leadership - You are focused establishing Breakthrough Life Moments and Legacy Building
