A Two-Step Process to Building Career Confidence Early in Your Law Career: Building Confidence through Self-Advocacy
A lack of confidence can impact your decision making, performance at work, pursuit of new opportunities, and leadership potential. Emily Hirsekorn developed the Career Confidence Code, a six-part framework to help ambitious professionals build the confidence they need to navigate their careers effectively, enhance work performance and engagement, and develop as conscious leaders. In this program, Emily will discuss how one particular dimension---self-advocacy---can help you boost career confidence as you set healthy boundaries, get resourceful, manage your time, and speak up more at work. You'll leave the program with an action plan to start advocating for yourself more effectively and more often.
