One of the best things you can do to progress your career is to become more valuable.
The more valuable you are, the more support you’ll get, the more opportunities you’ll attract and the more easily you’ll progress your career.
To become more valuable you could increase your knowledge. You could broaden your experience and develop your expertise. But these can be hard to achieve when you’re working all the hours and you’re not being given the best work.
In this episode of the Legal Imposters Podcast I offer you an easier way to become more valuable: join BE THE FIRST.
BE THE FIRST is the career progression programme for mid to senior level black lawyers where I teach you everything you need to progress as a black lawyer and coach you every step of the way.
The minute you sign up to this programme you become more valuable.
Thedecision to be in the driving seat, to focus on what you can control, to stop waiting for the circumstances outside of you to change, to set goals and go to work to achieve them – these decisions change you. The version of you who reaches this level of decision is already more valuable than the version that went before.
It doesn’t end there.
Every day you’re in this programme – learning the skills you need to progress, implementing, getting coached when you get stuck – is another day you become more valuable.
I see it inside BE THE FIRST all the time –
The client who was constantly overwhelmed and stressed when she joined, who is now calm, more in control and better at meeting deadlines.
The client who couldn’t delegate and did everything herself who is now the delegation queen (her words!) and has time to be proactive and think strategically.
The client who couldn’t speak up in meetings who is now clear about her value, engages in meetings and more willingly shares her ideas.
The client who kept work colleagues at a distance who is now building rapport with clients he never thought he could connect with.
Transformations like this are happening every day inside BE THE FIRST. Clients are becoming more valuable every day and so will you, the moment you decide to join.
Enrolment for the May 2025 cohort is 3rd – 9th April 2025.
If you’re a mid to senior level black lawyer and you want to progress this year, now is the time to join.
If you’re hoping to get internal funding for your firm I recommend you have that conversation now so you get a decision before enrolment closes and have your option b ready to go if your firm or business say no.
