84. Why This Nonprofit CEO Believes in Mentorship (and How She Got Barbie & Barack Obama’s Support Too)

Answer this week's Question of the Week in our Cubicle to CEO Community Facebook Group NOW for a chance to win a $10 Starbucks gift card! I’m so excited to kick-off two back to back episodes on our podcast on the topic of mentorship. For our first conversation, I want to introduce you to today’s special guest, Delores Morton. Delores is the CEO of Step Up, one of my favorite non-profit organizations offering mentorship programs to high school girls to reach their full potential and become the next generation of womxn leaders. With 20 years as an accomplished nonprofit executive designing and leading creative enterprises, Delores has worked with iconic brands like Americorps, L’Oreal, Disney, and Barbie, to create lasting change through philanthropic partnerships. Not to mention, she has been honored as a Champion for Change by President Obama for her work. No big deal, right? Whether you’re a non-profit leader or a business owner with an impact-driven mission, keep listening to hear Delores share what the data says about why mentorship matters at all stages in your career, how you can attract corporate sponsors, celebrities and build innovative brand partnerships to support your cause, and how to grow a loyal base of donors and members.
