Are you feeling directionless in your legal career?

Do you feel like you're just going through the motions day after day?

Bored. Unchallenged. Stuck.

Without a clear progression goal, your career can feel like it’s happening to you rather than being something you actively build. 🚧

In this episode of The Legal Imposters Podcast, I share how you can take control of your career by establishing a regular goal-setting habit that is both challenging and achievable.

I also share how setting a new progression goal every six months keeps your career moving forward by:

⏰ Creating Urgency: Six months is long enough to make meaningful progress but short enough to create a sense of urgency. If the goal were set for a year, procrastination might creep in. A six-month goal pushes you to take action without procrastination.

🌱 Producing Sustainable Progress: A six-month period allows for sustainable progress. It gives you the time to implement changes without burning out or feeling overwhelmed.

🎉 Helping You Enjoy the Process: Career progression is not just about reaching a destination; it’s about enjoying the journey and growing along the way.

As you set your progression goals, consider joining a program or community that can provide accountability and support. If you’re a mid to senior level black lawyer eager to progress, Be The First Progression for Black Lawyers is the room you want to join.

In addition to being coached by Caroline, you'll get:

✅ Steady Support: Encouragement from peers.

✅ Consistent Goals: Regular goal-setting habits.

✅ Shared Experiences: Learning from others’ journeys.

It’s time to sit in the driver’s seat of your career.

Hold the steering wheel.

Ready,

Set,

Goal! 🚀

“Should I work with Caroline?

Is Be The First Progression for Black Lawyers for me?” 🤔

Tune in to the latest episode of The Legal Imposters Podcast to find out. In it I share the four key criteria that make an ideal candidate for this program and explain the rationale behind each one:

✊🏾You are a black lawyer. The program is tailored specifically for black lawyers who face the unique challenges of working in a white corporate environment. By focusing on black lawyers, the program gives you community and support as well as the unique tools that help you navigate the challenges only black lawyers face.

⚖️ You are a mid to senior-level lawyer. What got you here won't get you there. The program teaches you the skills you need to progress as a black lawyer at a more senior level.

📈 You want to progress. To get the most out of Be The First, you have to have a goal! This could be going for a promotion, but it doesn't have to be. Succeeding in a new or current role, reducing stress, achieving better work-life balance or gaining confidence are all worthy and important goals that coaching will help you achieve.

🫵🏾 You are ready to take ownership. If you're tired of waiting for things outside of you to change and are ready to be more proactive in your career, Be The First is for you. In it you learn to focus on what you can control to create opportunities, include yourself and attract the support you need.

The unique value you get in Be the First :

• The program includes teaching you five core skills, a unique mindset (the Be the First belief system), a unique set of tools for skill development that you won't find anywhere else (Relate-Agility, Intentional Brand Curation, The Value Formula - for example), and weekly coaching on implementation. 🧰
• The progress you make under this programme is measurable, sustainable, repeatable, and inevitable. You either achieve your career progression goal or you transcend it. 📈
