You know the one thing that's better than achieving your goal?

Transcending it!

When you join Be The First the promise is you either achieve your goal or you transcend it

How do I make such a promise? And what does transcending your goal mean?

One of the biggest reasons people hesitate to sign up with a coach is their fear that the coaching won't work for them and they won't get results.

Not in Be The First.

In the very first session we agree your 6 month goal and we lock it in as a clear objective for your coaching.

This means you know exactly what you're working towards, whether you're still on track and what that goal will look and feel like when you get there.

And there's more.

In Be The First I don't just give you the strategy for achieving your goal, I coach you on everything that comes up along the way - imposter syndrome and any other type of self doubt, overwhelm, not enough time, fear of being exposed, not knowing the answer, risk of burnout, a difficult relationship with a tricky boss, not being taken seriously ...

You experience it, I coach you on it.

This means that on the way to achieving your goal you are:

• developing a life long skillset and toolkit for navigating your career as a black lawyer;
• growing your self concept as a lawyer at a higher level
• taking ownership and control of your life as a whole
• inspiring your children to believe in what's possible for them
• being a role model to and blazing a trail for your community
• being the change you and I both want to see in this industry

When you join Be The First it's not just the goal that counts. It's everything you learn and who you become along the way that sets you up for success in a white world.

You've had a fabulous holiday, a much needed break from it all, but now it's time to get back on track!

Back to your deals, back to your clients, back to the projects, back to your exercise routine and all the other structures you have in place to support you in your life and work which you've relaxed or neglected during the holidays.

But knowing you have to get back on track is one thing. Doing it is another. Getting back to work can be hard! It can take weeks of frustration to get back up to speed.

If this is your experience right now, this episode is exactly what you need.

Even if it isn't, this episode is one you want to listen to so you know exactly what to do when it happens in the future. You can fall off track at any time! Which means the better prepared you are for that post holiday/city break/end of transaction low, the quicker you'll be able to get out of it.

Here's what you'll learn:

- what your brain does when you've had a break and it's time to get back to work (mine does this too)

- the no.1 rule for how you treat yourself when you keep putting things off and avoiding doing what's required

- the tools I teach you in Be The First Progression for Black Lawyers that will get your brain on your side

- 5 strategies that I used to get back on track earlier this month which mean I'm back with a bang and firing on all cylinders!

You've heard about my Be The First Progression for Black Lawyers.

You've learned how this coaching program will get you to your progression goal, supporting you all the way to the top.

You envision how my distinctive coaching skills and the unique tools that I teach can help you climb the progression ladder.

You're thinking about joining, but you ask yourself,

"What will the coaching look like? What exactly am I signing up to?"

Coaching is often misunderstood, so in the latest episode of The Legal Imposters Podcast, I break it down into a simple framework I call The Coaching Triad. 🎙️

You see, coaching isn't just chatting; it's a structured process that involves:

🧠 Asking Questions: Thought-provoking questions that reveal deeper insights.

💬 Responding: Engaging with those questions to explore your thoughts and feelings.

👂 Active Listening: I turn down the volume on my own thoughts to fully focus on you. This ensures you feel heard and understood, creating a supportive environment for your growth.

For our conversation to be considered coaching, it must include all three elements of the coaching triad simultaneously. If any part is missing, it's just a regular conversation between us.

In this episode, I also touch on how reflection is a crucial part of my coaching process. By reflecting back what you share, I help you recognize patterns and opportunities you may have overlooked.

This reflective practice extends to the overall Be The First Program, where you will be encouraged to acknowledge your progress regularly to help reinforce motivation and build up your confidence.

After listening to this episode, there will be no confusion.

No uncertainty.

There won't be any doubt in your mind whether coaching is a worthwhile investment for you.

Because it is, and you're taking your first steps toward your most valuable investment.
