The Unique Tools Included In The Programme...
Friction-Free Feedback Formula
Use this formula to take actionable steps to get more and better feedback in the next 6 months, including learning:
- How to ask for feedback in a way that makes it easy for them to give it to you
- How to receive positive feedback so you internalise the success and know what to keep doing
- How to evaluate feedback effectively so you know what to implement and what to disregard
This tool will build your confidence and competence around getting the feedback you need to progress.
2. Authentic Brand Curation
Now that you are receiving and implementing feedback it's time to focus on your brand. Authentic Brand Curation is a step by step process to help you:
- take control of how you are being perceived by others
- decide what you want to be known and remembered for and use that to filter your actions and decisions
- find new and creative ways to honour and promote your brand.
As a result of this step you will have a clear and authentic brand which you showcase consistently and effectively.
3. Relate-Agility
The secret to progressing in a white world is being able to build relationships with people who are different to you. This is how you get the support you need and attract the opportunities you deserve. In this lesson, you’ll learn:
- How to connect with people you think you have nothing in common with
- How to have meaningful conversations with everyone you meet
- How to network when you're the only one in the room, even if you're an introvert
This step will build your confidence to walk into any room, speak up at any meeting and speak to anyone.
4. The 30 Day Visibility Challenge
Working hard is not enough. People need to know who you are. The 30 Day Visibility Challenge will support and encourage you to be more visible so you are front of mind for opportunities and support. You'll learn:
-
How to help people remember who your are
-
How to 10x your profile so everybody knows your name
-
How to step out of your comfort zone and build the confidence to be seen
5. The Value Formula
Working twice as hard may have got you here but it won't get you there. In this step you will uncover:
- Your unique identity
- Your unique ability
- How the two work together to create your unique value and how to showcase this for others to see.

NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Caroline Flanagan
I was the only black pupil in an all white school from the age of 5. When I qualified as a lawyer at magic circle law firm Allen & Overy I was almost always the only person of colour in the room. But despite often being excluded and despite the stereotyping, the micro-aggressions and racism I encountered, I learned how to succeed in a white world.
Now I use my lived experience and my coaching expertise to help people just like you to do the same. I teach you the 5 core skills and the unstoppable mindset every black lawyer needs to help you progress your career, all the way to the top.
"Starting coaching with you turns out to be one of the best decisions I have made"
- Client E
"I just wanted to let you know that I had some wonderful news yesterday and my promotion has now been confirmed! I am absolutely over the moon! I can’t even begin to say how grateful I am for all of your support and guidance this year – you have had a significant impact on my life.
- Client H
"Caroline, I have just accepted a partner position at [London based international law firm].
I am super happy and wanted to thank you as you were instrumental in the decision. You made me say out loud that I wanted to be a partner (which I did but I had never voiced it) and you challenged the fears I had about “not being partner material"
- Client M
"My only regret is that I should have started working with Caroline 2 years ago. As a result of working with Caroline, I got rid of some roots coming from my background and personality that were preventing me from growing"
- Client A
"From a financial perspective, or return on investment, I may not have reached partner status, but I learned so much [about] myself on what I can do and how I need to do things if I want to reach my goals. It was a very good investment I want to keep going!"
