#mentoring

No one is coming to save you. No one other than you is responsible for your career. Not your supervisor. Not the managing partner. Not your firm. What you make of yourself is entirely in your hands. The decisions you make. The effort you put forth. The money you spend. What will separate you from other lawyers, what will allow you to break ahead of the pack, is your time, energy, and money, not your firm's.

The biggest mistake most people make after getting laid off is hoping you'll get a job again.

Join us for a fun virtual information session with Be A Mentor for those interested in mentoring in-person in the East Bay or in Antelope Valley.

"I know if I had somebody like me or my team out there supporting me, my life would've been different... One caring adult can change hundreds of lives."

"It has been a little weird. Usually during this time, I'm still working out and getting ready for camp. Right now, I'm just working out to stay in shape, personally."

"I feel incredibly fortunate to be doing work I love," Quinones noted. "It allows me to introduce people from all walks of life to our justice system, to help shape and support rising legal talent, and to mentor future generations of judges, lawyers and leaders."

The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.
