David L Dirks, Esq., CMP’s Post

Congratulations to all of PBRC’s Academy Fellows for completing this year’s Professional Skills Academy Fellowship!    This year, PBRC welcomed the third class of the Professional Skills Academy. Fifteen Fellows, in many cases newer lawyers, were paired with experienced mentors and took part in a series of in-depth trainings. By the end of the experience, the Fellows had donated over 400 hours of pro bono service. With their skills, experience, and connections, PBRC is building a community of pro bono leaders for the future with broad community impact.      Please join us in applauding:     Kimberly Boyd Thaakirah Cason  Phillip Dehoux David L Dirks, Esq., CMP  Jasmine E.

I’ve never stayed at a job longer than 3 years and I left that job because they wouldn’t promote me. My Mom taught me to leave situations where I felt like I was being taken advantage of. I love how some employers will pile on responsibility on top of responsibility on you but they refuse to make that reflect in your title and pay. In News, you already know but needed a reminder. According to a new McKinsey study, a lack of career advancement and development is THE TOP reason why people leave their job. If you don’t feel appreciated, change your situation until you do. The data is in your favour. Source: https://lnkd.in/emP-7yQW
