Expand Your Ability and Build Your Own Board of Advisor
summary
Defines growth mindset versus fixed mindset and adds a design mindset that insists on curiosity, small experiments and accepting failure as learning. Recommends a concrete three-step process: do an inventory of contacts, reach out (virtual meetings, conferences, volunteering) and invest in relationships with regular check-ins. Distinguishes allies, mentors and sponsors, noting research that women are over-mentored but under-sponsored and that a sponsor needs seat at decision-making, exposure to your work, and influence.
