I’m Samorn Selim. 

I’m a lawyer turned career coach on a mission for us to take our careers from dread to joy. As the daughter of poor Lao refugees, I was told to pay my dues.

After coaching over 1,000 clients, I now realize that the idea that you have to pay your dues and work in a toxic place is a myth. 

We can face our challenges head on, do work we are passionate about, and work with good people with kind hearts to make a big impact. So even as we struggle, we can find a sense of belonging.

Do you want to feel like you belong at work?  But you haven’t been invited to the table and have been passed over for promotions?  Komal shares:

 

- How she successfully advocated for her leadership role as Chief DEI officer.

- What she learned about her self worth when only the white guys were being asked out.  

- Why organizations need to stop blaming POC for leaving and look at changing their cultures.  

- How she and her team created diversity report cards for outside counsel.

- How finding a mentor is like going on a blind date.
