Business, Leadership & Wellbeing for Lawyers: Life & Law

If you’re in the hunt for a new associate you know how crazy-competitive the legal job market is right now. There’s a lot of work and not enough attorneys to get it all done (so it seems). Which has made attorney retention and recruiting difficult (to put it mildly).

So… how can you attract the best talent and fit? What do you need to offer them? And what can you do if you’re at a small or medium-sized firm (who can’t keep up with Big Law salaries)?

Because these questions keep coming up in my conversations with clients and former colleagues, I knew I needed to bring in an expert. Join me today to find out the answers to the questions above (and much more) from Brian Moskowitz of Kenzak Group, a boutique legal talent agency and search firm.

After last week’s episode, I thought it important to share my own story about leaving law behind.

Not just for those of you who might be considering the same thing. But for anyone who might be wrestling with the possibility of making a big change to their lives.

Because change is uncertain. And uncertainty creates anxiety – even fear. I hope that sharing how I navigated through my own anxiety, fear and worries will be helpful for you whenever you face those same things.

Please note that being a highly valued associate isn’t just about logging required hours and doing good work. There’s more to it than that. Some of which isn’t all that obvious or intuitive.

And it’s not just about being promoted or getting paid a lot of money (although yes, it will help you do both). This is also about your professional development as a lawyer. So that you can be the best lawyer you can possibly be.

The post #61: Why You Get To Choose Your Path (with Davina Frederick of The Wealthy Woman Lawyer Podcast) appeared first on Life and Law Podcast.

Tired of overthinking decisions? This episode is for you. Learn how to stop overthinking and be more decisive.

Because the truth is that most lawyers are overthinkers. Heck, we’re trained to think through the pros and cons, revisit them and then parse through every possible contingency.

Which is exhausting when applied to every day decision-making. The good news is that you can retrain your brain to NOT overthink.

In this episode you'll gain understanding around why you overthink. And then you'll learn a 5-step process for how to stop overthinking.

Most of us think of time as finite and fleeting. And so we end up cramming too many things into the time we have (often with things that aren’t even that important to us). What that means is that how you perceive time matters. Because it impacts how you choose to utilize it.

In this episode, you'll learn how to retake control over the time you have by changing how you perceive time itself.
