In today’s episode of the‘Career Change Maker podcast, I talk on the topic “The Impactful Career That You Desire Is On the Other Side of This Four Letter Word”. Lawyers are integral to our society, and then we see the fact that so many lawyers are feeling unfulfilled in the work that they're doing.

The reason I have chosen this topic is that I find it incredible that there are so many lawyers who are not feeling happy and fulfilled in the work that they are doing. 

Episode Highlights

·       03:10 – Every commercial transaction, be it about the distribution of assets, or any other aspect of life, there is a lawyer involved or multiple lawyers involved.

·       07:00 – Besides seeing salary and company brand, there’re other factors that need to be considered in order for you to make the type of move, that's going to make sense.

·       08:55 - When you're feeling frustrated, and you're feeling this is something's not right, all you can see is that it's like you're looking ahead to tomorrow and nothing else. The focus is too much on where you are right now and what you can see right in front of you.

·       11:10 - In order for you to make sure that you're moving into a role that you feel good about, there needs to be more focus on the view.

·       15:00 - When I was thinking about making a difference like knowing that the work that I'm definitely making a difference, it needed to be more tangible and handled for me.

What you will learn:

1.  When you think about the goals that people have, and the things that people are trying to achieve on a day-to-day basis, typically, somewhere along the line, there is going to be a lawyer involved. If you think about the impact that lawyers have in terms of how the world goes around is huge. However, so many lawyers are feeling unfulfilled in the work that they're doing. The value that lawyers bring to the marketplace is great, but why is it that we're not feeling it? 
2.  The fact is that the impactful career that you really want to experience is on the other side of a four-letter word, which is DATA. In order for you to really determine what change or move you need to make, a full assessment would be required of what is actually going on right now and that assessment might require you to zoom out and look at different pieces of data.
3.  When you understand what strengths you bring to the table, when you truly understand your personality type, how you like to show up, and what your preferences are, then your considerations can be different when you're looking at the next opportunity. So strengths profile allows you to take an assessment, and then it highlights what your strengths are, and it lets you know what your weaknesses are.
