It can be incredibly difficult to feel empowered to advocate for yourself if you are told you don’t fit the profile for advancement. What can be done? In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with L N Christie & Co lawyer Jessica Karevski about her observations about (and personal experience with) lawyers being told they do not look like someone suitable for leadership, or for a particular job, and what this does to a professional. Karevski also delves into how best to navigate such circumstances, the practical steps to better advocate for yourself and demand a seat at the table, overcoming any fear one might have about doing so, and her guidance to those coming through the ranks.
