Sponsorship Programs That Build Talent & Drive Impact

Great leaders don’t rise alone—they’re lifted by sponsors who champion their potential when they’re not in the room.

Sponsorship is one of the most powerful (and underused) levers for developing future leaders, strengthening culture, and driving business results.

Rachel designs and delivers strategic sponsorship programs that turn good intentions into tangible outcomes. Drawing on years of experience across Fortune 500 companies and multiple Harvard Business Review publications, she equips organizations to build sponsorship cultures that:

  • Accelerate talent growth by pairing rising leaders with influential advocates.

  • Strengthen leadership pipelines through intentional, structured development relationships.

  • Increase engagement and retention by ensuring top talent feels seen, supported, and sponsored.

Programs typically combine live training, practical tools, and ongoing nudges to keep sponsorship top of mind. Rachel trains sponsors to move from mentorship to advocacy, and trains sponsees to take an active role in stewarding these high-impact relationships.

Whether launching a new sponsorship initiative or strengthening an existing program, Rachel helps organizations build sponsorship ecosystems that create real movement—not just talk.
