Samorn Selim

About

I am the daughter of illiterate Laotian refugees. Growing up on welfare, I worked my butt off to get out of the ghettoes of Stockton. I graduated from Berkeley Law, landed a 6-figure job with a big law firm in my mid-20's. I had always assumed checking off boxes of big achievements for my resume would bring me happiness. I was wrong. I was miserable. I woke up filled with dread every morning wanting to change but didn't know how. I felt too overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck. After working with my career coach, I reconnected with what brought me joy. Within 3 months, I transitioned to my dream job, coaching law students and alums at Berkeley Law. Through my work at Berkeley, I discovered my mission to make the world more diverse and inclusive by supporting women of color and first generation professionals. Since then, I have created my own companies Samorn Selim Coaching and now Career Unicorns. I have successfully worked with over 1,000 clients who want to make a positive impact in the world to land dream jobs, be promoted to leadership positions, negotiate 6 figure salaries, and develop a book of business. I have been a keynote speaker at Google, Autodesk, Wilson Sonsini, Paul Hasti
