Legal Imposters

About

You're doing all the right things, so why aren't you gaining traction? Why aren't you getting results? 


If you've invested time and effort in your professional development and followed all the right steps to achieve that career goal, but nothing seems to be working - this one is for you.


Welcome to episode 117 of Legal Impostors. I'm Caroline Flanagan, the Black Lawyers' Coach, and today I'm bringing you part 3 of a 5 part series on what it takes to succeed where you are and keep progressing all the way to the top.


In Part 1 we talked about Ownership (episode 114). In Part 2 we talked about Skills (episode 1116). Now let's talk about the thing that's the easiest of all to ignore, be oblivious to and overlook: Mindset


Here's what you'll learn:

    What mindset is and why it matters
    The Be The First Mindset I recommend you adopt as a black lawyer to help you achieve your potential in a white world 
    The empowering thoughts I choose to think about myself and which I invite you to try on and see
    The work required to develop a new mindset and what to expect when you do
    How to work with me to develop the Be The First Mindset that will guarantee your success in this industry.
