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.

Have you experienced workplace abuse and harassment that resulted in you being blackballed?  And you’re trying to pick up the pieces in your life and career?  In this episode, we discuss: 

 

- Why women need to stop waiting to be invited to the table and take the seat at the table. 

- The real and devastating effects that workplace abuse has on your life, career, and mental health.

- The unchecked power that judges have over newly graduated law clerks.

- The fact that those who face abuse by judges have no recourse, and how this needs to change.  

- How women who are supposed to be our ally can be part of the problem, and what to do when you face this.  

- Why we need to stop telling victims to stay silent, and the power of telling our stories. 

- What Aliza and the Legal Accountability Project are doing to create transparency and change.
