Why we think it is important
Consider that, in a full-time job, we spend half of our waking lives at work.
Yet for most of us, the decision to enter the legal profession was made in college, before we even reached full maturity. What then? How strategic has your career path been? Where do you see your professional life currently - in the next 6 months and 2-5 years?
- Are there areas of professional development you feel you need to work on to advance?
- Are you taking full advantage of the opportunities in your current position?
- Are you in the best position within the field to meet your personal and professional needs?
- Do you need a strategy for building your own book of business?
- Are you in job transition and re-examining practice areas and options?
- Are you struggling with the Bar Exam or specialization certification?
- Are you considering exploring whether another job or career might be more closely aligned with your interests, skills and passions?
While many of us would not hesitate to hire a trainer when we join a health club, it is only recently that we have begun to seek similar support for one of the most dominant aspects of our waking lives: the evolution of our working lives.
Surely finding the most individually fulfilling career path is worth at least the same level of support and attention as our physical fitness.
