A mentoring relationship can help technology professionals at any stage identify new growth opportunities, gain perspective on the challenges they face, and build a network of support as they advance. That\u2019s especially important for women and other underrepresented groups in tech, who often face structural disadvantages and lack a sense of belonging<\/a> at work. But these same factors can make it harder for these individuals to make connections with potential mentors, sponsors, coaches, and other candidates for their personal board of directors.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our previous blogs, we talked about why mentoring matters<\/a> and how to get the most from it<\/a>. Now we\u2019ll get into the most important question of all: how to get started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking the initiative<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While formal programs such as the Tech Women @ Intuit (TWI)<\/a> Mentorship program make it simple for tech professionals to pair up with a mentor, they\u2019re not the only way to do so. In fact, making the connection can be as simple as keeping your eyes out for a prospect and asking them. \u201cDuring town halls or bigger meetings, I would observe leaders and look for someone who I thought would challenge me or point me in the right direction,\u201d says Justyna Yung, analytics leader at Intuit. \u201cIt was as simple as sending an email saying: \u2018I\u2019m interested in finding a mentor\u2014would you be willing to spend just an hour a month with me, point me to literature or any webinars I should be attending, or anything that you think would help me?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crystal Robinson-Pipersburgh, group manager for data engineering at Intuit, reached out to a potential advisor with a specific mentoring need: \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I moved to Intuit\u2019s TurboTax team, I started working in a matrixed organization where I had engineers working on initiatives that I was managing and in charge of, but they didn\u2019t report to me. It was something that was really different for me, so I found someone who worked in a matrixed organization and did it well, reached out to her, and asked her to give me some pointers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>Crystal Robinson-Pipersburgh<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kimbra Brookstein, global leader, Tech Women @ Intuit and staff program leader, DEI in Tech, took a similar approach. \u201cWhen we think of a formal structured mentorship program or pairing, it does not have to be that. It can be casual. There\u2019s no right or wrong way to invest in yourself or others. When I was looking to grow my career as part of Intuit\u2019s People and Places organization, I wanted to develop my skills within some of our technology rubric systems for program management. I strategically sought out a mentor who was a technical program manager leader so I could get insight on how she viewed me, my programs, and my experiences. I used that feedback to build an impactful career within our tech ecosystem.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the right kinds of relationships for your needs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each mentorship relationship is unique, but broadly speaking they can be grouped by the intensity and duration of the connection. \u201cThere are really three buckets when we talk about how we can learn from others,\u201d explains Kimbra Brookstein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMentors give guidance and advice based on their own personal journey and experience. Sponsorship goes further, taking action by advocating. Coaching is more about short-term insights.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>Kimbra Brookstein<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While coaching is by nature shorter-term, it can still be highly valuable, says Kimbra. \u201cYou can coach a team member through a specific program or sprint with a clear start and end. That\u2019s something else to keep in mind when we talk about progression\u2014how could you interact with teammates or people you look up to that you might seek out specific feedback, advice, or insight from?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridget Kimball, former vice president of technology at Intuit, has experienced sponsorship on both ends of the relationship. \u201cThe sponsor is someone who will put themselves on the line to advocate for you,\u201d she says. \u201cA mentor might say, \u2018I heard there\u2019s a role in this other group you might want to look at.\u2019 A sponsor will say, \u2018I know about this role\u2014let me introduce you to the leader, put in a good word for you, and tell you more about what\u2019s important to them.\u2019 I once had a sponsor who put me up for a role that was quite a large jump for me at the time and accelerated my career. Without that, I would not be where I am today in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridget now gives back by being a sponsor for others. \u201cI\u2019ve had women who are qualified and should have been promoted but didn\u2019t quite get there, and I\u2019ve said, \u2018We need to put this person in the promotion cycle, or we need to give her this bigger assignment.\u2019 It\u2019s a little bit of my personal capital. But if people, particularly women, feel like they can move up and there\u2019s support for them, we\u2019re all better for it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our next blog, we\u2019ll offer more advice for growing your mentoring network\u2014including industry organizations and programs dedicated to connecting, inspiring, and supporting women and other underrepresented groups in tech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
