12. Women and Diverse Lawyers Must Self-Promote   This is the fifth episode of our series on business development. In this episode, we discuss why it is important for women lawyers and diverse attorneys to self-promote.   “If you want to make sure that clients, potential clients, potential referral sources, and others within your firm know about your accomplishments, wins, expertise, etc., you’ve got to tell them.”   Women and diverse lawyers are usually on the shy side when it comes to tooting their own horn.But the failure to make others aware of your achievements, or your recognitions, of any awards you have received, or of positive results in matters, or of positive feedback from clients, or any number of other accomplishments, often results in non-recognition, in lost opportunities, and even in a lost or delayed promotion.   Download the Episode Worksheet here.   Be coached by a seasoned diverse female attorney.
