Episode #25 “I’ve done all I can”

January 31, 2024

Hello Legal Imposters listeners – I’ve had a six-month break from the podcast, and I’m so excited to be back!

Today, I’m diving into a limiting thought that is keeping you stuck: “I’ve done all I can.” I’ll share how this mindset can lead us down a path of hopelessness and I’ll illustrate its negative impact with examples from my own coaching clients. In this podcast I discuss the value of shifting towards a more empowering belief: “I can figure this out.”. This is going to make you feel so resourceful and know exactly what to do to get unstuck.

P.S. This is exactly the kind of challenge that I coach you on in Be The First Coaching. If you’re a black lawyer who wants to progress and you find yourself feeling resigned and thinking “I’ve done all I can”, you have to join Be The First Coaching for Black Lawyers.
