Women in ERP Podcast | WERP x SAP Business Women’s Network – Give to Gain Series
Episode Overview
Mentorship is often talked about as a cornerstone of career growth — but what happens when it’s treated as a tick-box exercise rather than a genuine commitment?
In Episode 6 of the Women in ERP x SAP Business Women’s Network “Give to Gain” series, hosts Abigail Allman and Meena Confait explore what meaningful mentorship really looks like in practice - and why it only works when leaders truly mean it.
Bringing together voices from across SAP, this episode unpacks the responsibility that comes with supporting others: from creating trust and psychological safety, to actively advocating for people when it matters most. The conversation moves beyond surface-level advice to examine the behaviours, consistency and intent required to build mentorship relationships that actually make a difference.
Together, the panel share honest reflections on sponsorship vs mentorship, the role of leadership in opening doors, and why genuine support isn’t passive - it’s a deliberate act.
This episode is a powerful reminder that mentorship isn’t about optics - it’s about responsibility.
