Practices for A Successful Career Transition For Women Lawyers
These are all practices I use myself and recommend to my clients, whether in a transition or not, frankly, in most cases. They are tried and true. I am not a career coach per se - my expertise is in supporting professional women to be connected deeply to themselves, self-confident, and purposeful, so the practices reflect that perspective. They will be supportive to you in then being able to have the clarity and confidence to access the skills and support you need to make your career transition successfully.
Be An Agent of Social Change at Work
Do you feel a yearning to do more to change your work culture for the better? Maybe you also feel it’s really important to step into this contribution as a role model for future generations.You may feel a sense of urgency and a pull toward your yearning, especially in the last few months! The energy of the Women’s Marches may have contributed to your courage here as well as the sense of urgency you feel.
Come Out of Your Box And Find Work-Life Synergy
Come out of your box and find work-life synergy (and the joy, freedom and sense of purpose that come with that)! Many years ago when I was a young lawyer, eager to learn, I had a conversation with a senior partner at my firm. He told me that part of his success had to do with the fact that he was able to put things in boxes and focus on one box at a time – he had a work box, a family box, a house box, a friend box, etc.
