This episode was inspired by Carla Harris who gave a TED Talk called 'How to find the person who can help you get ahead at work'. Mel and Michelle explore just what a career sponsor is, how to go about getting one (hint: its not easy but there are ways) and importantly, what to pay attention to if you want to advance your career with the help of an advocate.
