We hear a lot about mentorship, but what if we could take this one stage further into sponsorship?

In this episode, FUTURES host Gina Hood talks to the brilliant Dinah Williams - an award-winning consultant and founder of Avenir Network, and Program Director of the Black Representation in Marketing Sponsorship Programme - to talk about how Dinah’s work is transforming how organisations think about equity, opportunity, and leadership.

You'll hear about...

  1. Insight into why sponsorship is critical for women and underrepresented talent.
  2. Inspiration from Dinah’s journey and the success of BRiM
  3. Practical takeaways for building meaningful, sustainable career support networks

With special thanks as always to our sponsor Spotify.
