Description

Sara Williams empowers female attorneys, educates, and is a killer litigator. The trial attorney at Alexander Shunnarah Personal Injury Attorneys has recovered over $15 Million for her clients. She got to where she is, not by putting her head down, hoping that someone took notice of her accomplishments. She spoke up, demanded cases that would advance her career, and actively sought positions that would help her grow. Sara has a bold personality and goes after what she wants. She trains other attorneys to do the same. On today's episode, she shows us how. We tackle why so many women lawyers leave the industry and what can be done about it. The green flags women should look for when looking for a firm. And how to get past fear to take ownership of your life and carer.Key takeaways:
It's okay to leave. Determine what you need to thrive. And ask for it. If the firm is unwilling or unable to provide support for professional development, it is time to move on.
Don't make it personal. Think of yourself as a business first. Advocate for your business often. If you are unwilling to stand up for yourself, no one else will.
Fear is real. But you get to determine how it will impact your life. At some point, you have to decide that what you want is more important than what you are afraid of. First, name the fear. Take ownership of being afraid. And if you can't get past it, do it afraid.
