Episode 003: Advocating for Your Client as a Heart-Centered Attorney


Listen Later

In today's episode, we discuss being an effective advocate for our clients by, first, grounding our emotional, spiritual, and mental stability in things that bring us deep joy and peace before we turn around and meet our clients where they need us most. This episode centers on a quote by Frederick Beuchner in his book, Wishful Thinking: A Theological ABC: Beuchner's definition of a vocation helps us zone in on how we can think about our role as lawyers and advocates for our client's best interests, which sometimes, ironically, may not be what the client wants but what the client needs. We must be sensitive to the difference and to be sensitive to our clients needs, we must first be sensitive and empathetic to our own need for self-care and attention. I've included a downloadable PDF with questions to take you through this process of being an effective heart-centered advocate for your client.  Links:The Frederick Beuchner CenterFrederick Beuchner's Wishful Thinking: A Theological ABC"How to be an Effective Heart-Centered Advocate for Your Client" PDF download
