Mentorship isn't just about giving advice from the top down—it's about creating intentional, reciprocal relationships that spark growth, belonging, and transformation in organizations.
In this powerful episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, founder of X² Wealth Planning and Expansive CEO, sits down with Dr. Kelly Diggs, neuroscientist turned leadership consultant and CEO of Kelly A. Diggs Consulting. Together, they dive deep into what mentorship really means in business, institutions, and everyday life, and how it can reshape culture, equity, and the future of organizations.
Dr. Diggs shares her journey from the lab bench to becoming a nationally recognized consultant in mentorship, leadership, and DEI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion), and offers practical insight into how mentorship impacts careers, succession planning, institutional success, and even the bottom line.
Topics covered:
What mentorship is really—and how it is different from the outdated “top-down” model
How mentorship creates reciprocal growth and not just transactional relationships
The role mentorship plays in equity, belonging, and institutional culture
How effective mentorship directly impacts business succession, retention, and profits
