Transition

You have spent 5, 10, 20 years developing your skills, but you feel something is missing.

Now what?

It is easy to get caught up in the day by day mundane aspects of practicing law. Before you know it, you’ve looked back on your career and wonder “what have I accomplished?” Or you say to yourself “this is not what I signed up for.” A lawyer coach can help you navigate through these rough waters and move forward to a rewarding career and a well-balanced life.

Do I need a slight tweak, or something more drastic?

A legal career can be a constant progression forward, or a series of ebbs and flows. How your career pans out depends upon decisions you make, such as:

• Can I stay where I am at, but just make some slight changes to refresh my outlook?
• Do I want to totally get out of my current area of practice? (DA’s office, in-house counsel, large firm)
• Do I just need new (or no) co-workers?
• Am I spending too much time at the office?

Are any of these questions swirling through your head? Is the lack of a clear path forward frustrating? Are you feeling overwhelmed? If your answers are yes, I can help you move forward.

Thinking of a career adjustment? Ask yourself these questions:

• Who do you want to change (yourself or those you work with)?
• What do you want to change?
• Where do you want to be (both career and location wise)?
• When do you want to accomplish the change (Is the change practical at this time)?
• Why do you want to change?
• Finally, are you prepared to incur the financial and emotional costs to make the change?

Working with a lawyer coach, you can honestly and objectively answer these questions and develop an action plan to move forward.
