Only yesterday I was lucky enough to listen to Cherrie Blair speak to 300 expectant Forward Ladies Members and as she spoke she asked this question…”who do you sponsor?” By sponsor she was referring to those people throughout your life that have given you nudge in the right direction; introduced you to that important person; referred you; supported you; been your champion and your ambassador.

I’m sure like me you’ve had a number of these people along the way…people that have come along at the right time and given you the help that you desperately needed…often without even asking at all. Sometimes it was the person that you least expected, or you thought didn’t even know you very well, leaving you  wondering why, but always grateful.

These people have been invaluable to me. Some were brief sponsors, others more longer term…but all of them important in getting me to the place I am today doing what I love.

So, back to the original question…”who do you sponsor?” Can you think of one person, or many? Or are you struggling to think of anyone at all? Such a simple question but that can have powerful consequences. Time to make a difference in someone elses life and be one of those people that they’ll remember as someone who helped them get to where they want to be…time to find someone to sponsor!
