"In my experience, the best mentors aren't just cheerleaders -- they're coaches. They encourage you, but they also teach you how to think strategically about how to set yourself up for success. I loved that my managers at Microsoft helped me get on projects that would give me the skills I needed to advance. They acted like sponsors -- they were always thinking about the next step and made sure I was, too. That's what I try to do for the young people I mentor as well.

And one other thing I'd say? The most important mentoring I've had in my life hasn't always been formal. There are rarely moments where you officially declare someone your mentor and go schedule advice-getting time in your calendar. It's really just about developing relationships with individuals who you admire and can relate to." -Melinda Gates, Co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Getting ahead in tech's male culture means finding career coaches with winning strategies, not just cheers.

Mentorship is key 🔑!

Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to have great mentors who were willing to take a bet on me and provide opportunities for growth. These mentors have not only taught me about what is important (both personally and professionally); they have also given me several big breaks.
