You know what you need to do to progress, so why are you still getting stuck?
You have a progression goal, so why aren’t you advancing as quickly as you’d like or thought you would.
You have put yourself out there and attended training programs and conferences, only to return to your desks and struggle to implement what you’ve learned.
There’s a huge chasm between you and your goal, with no path in sight.
This disconnect can lead to feelings of self-doubt. It can even worsen your imposter syndrome, especially in environments where we may feel isolated or underrepresented.
In Episode 50 of The Legal Imposters Podcast, I’ll introduce you to the Progression Pathway, a 7-stage model I’ve created to help you understand why you might not be advancing as quickly as you’d like and, more importantly, what you can do to change that.
This model outlines seven essential stages for achieving your career goals.
The Seven Stages of the Progression Pathway:
1️⃣ Decide Your Goal: Define a clear, specific, and measurable career goal.
2️⃣ Understand the Pathway: Create a personalized plan outlining the necessary steps and milestones.
3️⃣ Learn the Skills: Develop core competencies crucial for your career progression.
4️⃣ Implement the Skills: Apply what you’ve learned in real-world scenarios, even when faced with challenges.
5️⃣ Get Coached: Seek support and guidance to navigate obstacles and reframe negative thoughts.
6️⃣ Keep Going: Maintain momentum and resilience, evaluating your progress and making adjustments as needed.
7️⃣ Achieve Your Goal: Celebrate your achievements and set new goals for continuous growth.
I’ll also touch on how seeking support through the Be The First Progression programme will help you overcome the unique barriers that black lawyers face so you can follow the Progression Pathway, all the way to the top.
Remember, the path to success isn’t always a straight line, but with the Progression Pathway as your roadmap, you’ll be navigating those unique challenges like a pro.
