Episode #109 The Sponsorship Relationship

Épisode 109

mercredi 29 octobre 2025 • Durée 46:23

Want to win a Sponsor? There are 3 things you need to do:

Identify the right Sponsor Candidate
Build a Sponsorship Relationship
Hold a Sponsorship Conversation

These 3 steps form what we call inside BE THE FIRST, the Sponsorship Triad, and they form a simple actionable process for getting the right support from the right people to guarantee you achieve your progression goal.

In last week's episode of Legal Imposters I introduced you to part 3 of the Sponsorship Triad: the Sponsorship Conversation. In it I gave you an actionable framework for getting a potential sponsor to commit to advocating on your behalf.

This week we're talking about the step before: the Sponsorship Relationship - what it is and why it's absolutely critical to the Sponsor winning process. (I also explain why I tackled part 3 first, before coming to this part 2)

In addition to walking you through the 3 simple steps to winning a sponsor, here's what you'll learn:

The no.1 objective when building a Sponsorship Relationship
3 scenarios where building the Sponsorship Relationship is the answer
9 ways to win over a potential sponsor
3 ways you get stuck trying to win a sponsor (and what to do instead)
3 trust-building essentials every Sponsorship Relationship depends on
5 commitments to ask of your Sponsor

Happy listening.

P.S. If you're a mid to senior level black lawyer and you want to progress in the next 6-12 months, join BE THE FIRST and start prioritising this sponsorship work now. Enrolment for the January 2026 class opens in December so now's the time to get ready. For more details on what the programme is, who it's for and why it's the no.1 solution for navigating the challenges of being a black lawyer, click here.

Episode #108 The Sponsorship Conversation

Épisode 108

vendredi 24 octobre 2025 • Durée 25:39

Let's talk about Sponsors. Why you need one and how to win one.

You don't have to have a Sponsor to progress to the next level. But having a person of influence invested in you and going out to bat for you Is going to make achieving that promotion significantly quicker, easier and likely to result in success. Especially if you're a black lawyer.

There are 3 steps to winning a sponsor:

Identify the Right Sponsor
Earn trust by building the Sponsorship Relationship; and
Get a firm commitment to sponsor you by having the Sponsorship Conversation

Together these 3 make up the Sponsorship Triad, a model I teach you inside BE THE FIRST that makes the work of winning a sponsor so clear and actionable, you'll wonder what you'd ever have done without it.

In this week's episode of Legal Imposters we focus on part 3 of the Sponsorship Triad: The Sponsorship Conversation.

Heres what you'll learn:

The common mistakes lawyers make when seeking a Sponsor
The 3 parts of the Sponsorship Triad and how they work together
The purpose of the Sponsorship Conversation and why never to assume you have a Sponsor without one
A framework for holding a Sponsorship Conversation you can start using today, including examples from Clients inside BE THE FIRST
The top 3 commitments to seek from your Sponsor

Happy listening.

Caroline

P.S. if your a black lawyer, you want to progress within the industry and you don't have, sponsorship I can help you with that. Join BE THE FLIRST and ll teach you a simple framework for winning a sponsor so you get to support you need to progress to the next level. Click for details

When to focus on Business Development

Épisode 99

mercredi 6 août 2025 • Durée 29:06

It's never too soon to think about Business Development.

But when should this be your main focus? And what should you do about Business Development when you've been told to focus on something else?

This week on Legal Imposters, inspired by a client inside BE THE FIRST, we're talking about the importance of building your book of business and what to do when, for reasons personal or professional, you're unable to make this your primary focus.

When you're at the very start of your career, this doesn't matter so much.

But what do you do when you're trying to build your business case for promotion and you're told by the Partner you work for not to focus on Business Development?

This was the dilemma facing my client.

If this has happened to you, you're in the right place. Even if it hasn't, knowing what to do when Business Development can't be your main focus is going to ensure you're never left scrambling around for a business case because of all the relationships you've neglected to build over time.

How you avoid this is simple: you keep your Business Development at a simmer. Just as you would a saucepan of hot water, you maintain a low level of activity that enables you to focus your attention elsewhere without neglecting your Business Development altogether.

This has two advantages:

When the time is right to make Business Development your primary focus, all you have to do is turn the heat up. The water is already simmering. It takes relatively little effort to bring it to the boil. So it is with the low level Business Development activity that you've been maintaining all along. It takes nothing to ramp up your relationship building to full capacity. Your relationships are already warm. All you have to do is step things up and call them in.

Episode #8 How to achieve your 2023 fitness goals

Épisode 8

vendredi 6 janvier 2023 • Durée 01:17:19

So you want to get fit for 2023!

So you join a new gym or renew your old membership. You find a new form of exercise youre convinced youre going to love, or you sign up with a new fitness coach who youve been eager to try.

All of this seems like the right approach to achieving your fitness goal, but is it?

Lets face it, the reason youre not already as fit as you want to be or exercising as regularly as youd like is NOT because you dont have the right membership. Or because you havent found the right fitness coach.

Its because youre Overworking.

Overworking is a secret sign of Imposter Syndrome. Its the work you do that adds little or no value because its driven by fear, and which means work takes you longer than it should. Perfectionism. Not delegating. Labouring over the simplest email. These are examples of Overworking and the reasons why you are not making time to exercise.

So if youre serious about getting fit this year, dont look to your gym membership or your choice of fitness coach, look at how you manage your time.

Managing your time is the key to achieving your fitness goals. It forces you to be more efficient (so you stop overworking), ensures you are putting your work out sessions in your calendar and it means that when the moment comes to don your work out gear and get out of the house, you feel safe and in control enough to step away from your work.

In this episode of the podcast I explain the importance of managing your time and I give you 3 strategies to help you do that in a way that will transform your productivity and make it easy for you to honour your commitment to getting fitter.

Episode #5 The 4 Pillars of Career Progression

Épisode 5

vendredi 25 novembre 2022 • Durée 42:09

Why do you need to change the way you think about career progression goals?

Many of you HAVE no career progression goals at all.

Youre floating along
You have no intention or direction
Maybe it hasnt occurred to you that you should.

A lot of you have this ideathat career progression is only about getting a promotion.

Some of you do have a career progression goal, but its not the right one.

You have a career progression goal, its the right one, but the way youre chasing after that goal is going to make it unsustainable when you get there.

So youre either

underestimating the IMPORTANCE of career progression and/or
youre taking such a narrow a view of it, (I.e. that career progression = promotion) that you are missing out on the VALUE of other forms of career progression.

This means you are denying yourself the opportunity to create the results of:

Being in a better place in your career today than you were yesterday
Or at the end of this year than you were last year
And to have as your future goal: the ambition of being in a better place in your career at the end of 2023 than you are the beginning.

In this episode of Legal Imposters, we cover:

Why you should ALWAYS have a career progression goal.
Why its really important to make sure that your goal is the RIGHT goal.
How to choose the right goal by focusing on the 4 Pillars of Career Progression, the concept we teach in Imposter Syndrome Coaching.
What the 4 Pillars of Career Progression are and how to use them.

In my Imposter Syndrome Coaching programme, you do a Progression Audit to work out which of the 4 pillars needs the most immediate attention, and we spend 6 months progressing that pillar first.When you do the work to progress one pillar and this has a knock on effect of progressing the other pillars too.
