Path to Managment From The Legal and Policy Lens
Channel: Coalition of Black Excellence
Date: 2020-07-01

At the Coalition of Black Excellence (CBE) Summit, Monica Monroe, Partner at Tucker Ellis LLP, moderates a panel featuring  Danielle Coleman,  Litigation Counsel at VMware, Jolen Anderson, Chief Diversity Officer and Chief Counsel Employment at Visa, and Adelmis Warner, Division General Counsel at Visa. They discuss career progression and how to handle the risks that come with making changes in your career.

Coleman asserts that it is important to think about risks in terms of regret if you don’t take the leap. This encourages calculated steps, worse case scenario planning, and getting information and data upfront. In advocacy, Anderson says it is always the right time provided you believe in your opportunity, demand your ask, understand that others do it, know the cultures around you, be specific, nurture your relationships, and be strategic. The panelists also emphasize the importance of having mentors and developing an ability to read the room.
