close relationships are not always free from trouble. This book

This book shares the learnings and perspectives of two pioneer
women who waded the many challenges posed by multiculturalism and
gender in one of the corporate environments more rigid and
traditional in the business world: the energy sector in the Middle
East. How they managed to create a growth space for themselves and
their teams is a story of professional and personal tenacity,
shaping a privileged perspective that enabled them to understand
the root causes of barriers, as well as envision plausible
solutions. They propose in the book not only their vision, but a
remarkable collection of unfiltered interviews to influential
leaders in the energy sector, to complete a vision of what is key
to achieve success when leading or consulting in a corporate
environment. The book offers a compilation of very personal
approaches to professionalism, resilience, work, and ultimately,
success, from within and outside the ranks of highly regarded
corporations in the energy sector. The ultimate aim is that of
triggering a self-reflection in the readers, grounded on the
learnings and perspectives of those who made it to the highest
roles of one of the less understood business environments.

This book is a compilation of very personal approaches to mentoring
and sponsoring, breaking the stereotypes of seniority, age or
experience. The authors have provided a platform to understand that
mentoring and especially sponsoring are in fact a win-win relation,
in which both sides, mentors and mentees; and sponsors and
sponsored individuals learn from each other, enhancing their career
paths. How they managed to create a growth space for themselves and
their teams through mentoring and sponsoring, is a story of
professional leadership. They shared a privileged outlook to
understand the root causes of barriers, as well as to envision
plausible solutions for difficult career crossroads, in which
mentorship or sponsoring was key to steer step changes. The authors
propose not only their vision, but a remarkable collection of
unfiltered interviews with young and renown professionals in many
sectors, from photography to music, research, sports, energy, and
more, completing a vision of what is key for both sides of the
equation pertinent to mentoring and sponsoring: the givers and the
receivers. They explain what is needed to gain the most out of the
mentoring and sponsoring loops, with their own career stories.
Success is supported by many factors, in which the most important
are the technical competency and performance aligned with
resilience. However, in the long path of a career, mentors and
particularly sponsors play a foundational and frequently a
changing-life role, improving our perspective or triggering
reflections and actions that benefitted our journeys at work and in
life. This book provides insights on what works for an effective
mentoring and sponsoring process. It is useful for all
professionals, especially those starting their career journeys.
