Ascend, a program aimed at established lawyers will launch on March 2, 2022. As their careers are rising, women lawyers often face competing opportunities and shifting priorities as they gain a more precise definition of career success and excellence. Whether the goal is a partnership, independence, entrepreneurship, or career transition, the Center for Women in Law Ascend program helps established lawyers explore the opportunities and challenges of furthering their careers through promotions, pivots, and reimagining. We will focus on the power and importance of having a strategic career plan. In addition to covering the research supportive of developing a plan, Professor Sale will detail the elements of a strategic plan and walk us all through the importance of alignment in our own strategies. She will lead us through the initial steps of drafting your own goal with strategies for implementation.
