After Kristin Mosher signed up for Pathbuilders, an Atlanta, Georgia, leadership and mentoring company, and found out her new mentor was a man, she was a little skeptical. Newly promoted and leading a production and operations services team within Turner Sports’ Creative Services Sports Unit, she was unsure that a man would understand some of the challenges women face in the workplace leadership roles.
Now, she admits, she couldn’t have been more wrong. Her mentor, Peter Scalera, currently vice president of trade marketing and execution at InComm in Atlanta, brought several important attributes to his role that made him a great fit--and helped Mosher settle into her big new role with ease. He even went so far as to meet with her supervisor and some of her informal mentors at Turner to get a better sense of who she was and where she could use advice.
