Remote work is still in high demand but is getting harder to find. Only 9% of U.S. jobs on LinkedIn are fully remote, and yet these roles attract almost 40% of applications. It’s a clear sign that flexibility remains a top priority for workers.

The great news? Sponsorship is a win-win, as both the sponsors and protégés gain career benefits. If you are in a leadership role, pay it forward by sponsoring other emerging leaders along the way.

While mentorship focuses on personal and professional growth, sponsorship directly drives your career advancement.

A sponsor, on the other hand, is an advocate who actively champions your success. They leverage their influence to open doors, endorse you for key opportunities, and put your name forward when strategic decisions are made.

A mentor is a trusted advisor who shares wisdom, experience, and guidance. They invest time to help you navigate challenges, refine your skills, and shape your career path. Their insights and feedback are invaluable for self-improvement and long-term development.

With so few job opportunities, many workers feel stuck and uncertain about making career moves right now—unless they have to. I’m curious to see how employees and employers continue to respond to economic uncertainty over the coming months.

Now waiting for my connection after only getting 1 hr of not true sleep. It’s going to be a long day!

Yesterday was a weird travel day.

I set off the hotel fire alarm by taking a *shower*. Nothing happened. It just faded away while I was hurriedly getting dressed. No one called or came to check. So weird.

It’s beyond time to expand access to workplace flexibility for our frontline workforce. This isn’t just about being good for people; it’s about driving engagement, productivity, and ultimately, business success.

Time for your periodic reminder: office workers aren’t the only people who can work flexibly. Workplace flexibility is not only possible, it’s also vital for frontline employees.
