Key Quotes from "Coaching vs. Mentoring vs. Sponsorship":

1. "All right, they're all about relationships with mentoring. It tends to be with a less experienced person working with a more experienced person, and that person can be a junior or senior. It doesn't matter."
2. "You have to earn a sponsor. They have to see that you are worth the investment because with the sponsor, they're putting their name, you know. I'm attached to you. So my brand is your brand and you earn it."
3. "Coaching and mentoring are all about finding clarity."
4. "Depending on where you are on that journey, sometimes it makes sense to have all three."
