Coaching Lawyers to Implement Plans through Action

Lawyer Career Consulting DC helps lawyers take action to pursue a new career through practical and meaningful steps that bring results.

Contemplating a career change, you will encounter strong "resistance" – all the reasons "why not":

• Lawyers Are Stubborn: As a lawyer, you may be averse to change. Even if you are miserably unhappy, you may be reluctant to give up the status and income-earning potential of law in favor of a speculative alternative.
• Overcoming Emotional Obstacles: Lawyer Career Consulting DC can help you overcome the emotional obstacles that could keep you from implementing your intention.
• The Most Unhappy Lawyers Finish First: Sometimes the most unhappy and least "successful" lawyers are in the best position to change their careers, because they have the greatest motivationto do so, and the least incentive to continue practicing law. The most difficult cases are desperately unhappy senior partners in major law firms.

Lawyer Career Consulting DC helps unhappy lawyers move beyond their frustration, clarify their intentions, and take action:

• Reconfirm Your Intention: Identifying a new career must be followed by action. Lawyer Career Consulting DC will help you take the steps you need to take to reconfirm and implement your decision, by:
• pursuing other graduate or technical education;
• networking with other professionals in a new field; and
• finding (or creating) a new job.
• If At First You Don’t Succeed, Try Again Later: If you fail in your initial effort to change your career, you may need to return to your current law practice and resume your career change efforts later. After you have reflected -- and suffered -- further, you may experience better results.

The greatest satisfaction comes, finally, if there is an "epiphany" – a realization that there is an "answer." Once this answer emerges, there is no turning back – but why would you want to?

Lawyer Career Consulting DC has helped hundreds of lawyers complete a transition to a new profession.
