How to Build Your Circle and Own Your Power with Leslee Cohen

<p>This week on The Mami Collective Podcast, I’m sitting down with Leslee Cohen—a lawyer, founder of All Rise Legal Counsel and mom of two who was told that getting to the top meant playing golf, joining a country club and spending more nights away from her kids. So she built her own firm instead.</p><p>We talk about:</p><ul><li>What to do when becoming a mom changes the career you thought you wanted</li><li>Why you don’t have to reach the top while your kids are little to have an incredible career</li><li>How Leslee built a firm around flexibility after someone gave her that same chance</li><li>Why asking a “dumb question” might be the smartest thing you do in a room</li><li>What business owners need to know before giving away equity or signing a contract</li><li>How to build a network by being useful to people, even when you think you have nothing to offer</li><li>What to say when you walk into an event alone and feel completely out of place</li></ul><p>If you’ve ever wondered whether slowing down means falling behind, or walked into a room and felt like everyone else knew what they were doing, this episode is for you. You’re allowed to ask the question, make the introduction and build a career that actually fits your life.</p>
