Hmmm I want to see something 
What’s one thing that a manager’s done to skyrocket your growth? 
(please RT so I can get some more stories!)
Did you see a pattern in these responses? I saw it too! Lots of tweets around:
being given new opportunities
getting autonomy to do a good job
and given credit and promotions to reward the work they already did!
It's not a coincidence, it's Sponsorship!
Sponsorship is something you can do as a manager, mentor, or as a peer. It's about using the power you have to use it to make a difference in someone else's career -- resulting in promotions, pay raises, and opportunities they were always meant to have.
I'm introducing the concept of Sponsorship, sharing research around it, and giving you ideas on how to sponsor someone for the #LeadDevTogether series on Tues Sept 1st, 11am ET.
@TheLeadDev's tickets are available for the series from Sept 1 to Nov 17: https://together.leaddev.com/programme/developing-your-team …pic.twitter.com/SoTcRinwKO
My talk
Sponsored by: You
gives you an intro, time to think about who you're sponsoring today vs. who you should be, and how to do that.
It's quick, it's interactive, I did my eyebrows for it 
. Hope to see you there! #LeadDevTogether

Make me a lead on challenging projects with high impact and visibility, so that my promotion packet was 
.
Connected me with mentors
Looked for certifications/courses to help me develop new skills
Trusted me with stretch assignments and new responsibilities
(Shoutout to @ErinBlaskie and @aydin for doing all this - and more - to skyrocket my growth!)
Yes! I also had a previous boss who did the same for me. Luckily, I already had access to a great mentorship program which he encouraged me to use.
Hard to pick one thing, but on my first day I was told: > We have a project for you, but we want you to work on something that you think is impactful and that you can be proud of. And they supported me when I picked something different.
Whaaaatttt? so tempting to ask which company, which team that was? Is the Manager still has a job at that company? Surely that person seemed to be a visionary and exemplify leadership that is so lacking, in my experience. That's empowerment!
I don't really think I have an example where a manager purposefully or explicitly helped me grow like this. Now I'm super curious to see how people respond!
