Episode #109 The Sponsorship Relationship

Episode 109

Wednesday, October 29, 2025 • Duration 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.

If you want to progress to having Better Balance and Lawyering With More Ease this year, start getting up early.

Getting up early has been a regular routine of mine for years and it's the secret to why I feel calm and in control of my days, why I can respond to the unexpected and why I almost never feel overwhelmed.

It is one of the simplest and fastest ways to get better at MANAGING YOUR TIME. And when you're good at managing your time, you won't just have MORE of it, you'll feel more IN CONTROL of it.

And you know what that means -

More time for the other important things like friends, family, fitness and fun
feeling a lot calmer throughout the day and
being better able to respond to the unexpected or when things don't go as planned.

In other words, you do your day job with more ease.

Tune in now to find out:

6 reasons why getting up early is a must
4 things you need to stop doing in the mornings right now
3 common mistakes to avoid when getting started
5 objections your brain will offer you to keep you where you are (and how to answer them)

In Imposter Syndrome Coaching for Lawyers I teach you how to get up early as part of a proven strategy to get you Better Balance and to get you Lawyering With More Ease this year.

The February class is open for enrolment until Wednesday 18th Jan. SIGN UP now to make 2023 the year you get out of your own way and start achieving your potential.

Episode #8 How to achieve your 2023 fitness goals

Episode 8

Friday, January 6, 2023 • Duration 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

Episode 5

Friday, November 25, 2022 • Duration 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.
