"And How You Can Use This Plan To Find Engaging Work With More Joy And Ease Than You Ever Thought Possible!"

Dear Unhappy Lawyer:

Would you like to leave the law but feel trapped because you have no idea what you want to do instead? 

Lawyers have tremendous problem-solving skills but so many don't know how to use those skills to solve the problem of finding engaging work. It's a problem I hear about all the time. 

Lawyers often tell me in private how deeply unhappy they are with their work but how confused they are about how to make a change. Perhaps there are times when you feel:

  • Unsure what you want but know practicing law is not it.

  • Clueless as to what other careers might appeal to you.

  • Skeptical that you have any other abilities besides practicing law anyway.

  • Stumped as to how you can explore possibilities (if you did find any) without having to give notice.

  • Baffled by how to even begin a search for fulfilling work outside of the law. 

It's understandable. Most lawyers are masters at finding legal jobs but have never learned how to find fulfilling work. 

Some lawyers are so overwhelmed with how to make a career transition, they joke about how they'd welcome getting hit by a car--not killed, just injured enough not to have to go to work for awhile. That way, they'd have some time to figure out what's next. 

I Know Just How You Feel

Hello, my name is Monica Parker. 

I earned a B.A. from Harvard College and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. I had my choice of six-figure law firm positions and chose to go practice at a prestigious large firm. I thought I had it made. To my shock and dismay, I realized I didn't enjoy practicing law

I tried to stick it out. I really did. I tried to convince myself that it wasn't the practice of law I didn't like; it was my job. So, I considered changing to another practice group or maybe going to another firm. I ended up doing both--I switched to a small firm and completely changed practice areas. 

A year later, I was just as miserable as I was at my first firm. Dreading going to work. Cringing when a partner came by my office with a new assignment. Even my body had started rejecting my job--I was getting pounding headaches almost every other day.

That's when I realized it was time to face facts--I didn't need a new legal job; I needed to get out of the law altogether. 

So I Decided To Get Serious--I Would Give
My All And Find My Dream Job

Friends had laughed at how focused I was the first time I explored changing jobs. Now they were concerned because I was obsessed.

I read every career development book on the market. I did every exercise I could get my hands on. I took a boatload of career assessment tests. I signed up for an extensive (and expensive) career course. As you can imagine, I spent a lot of money, time, energy, tears, and prayers on my mission.

Five years later...I still didn't know what I wanted to do. I'd learned a lot about myself but nothing had changed. I was still plodding into my law office every day.

I was waiting for the heavens to open up, a thunderbolt to crack and lightning to illuminate my path--or even a bus to sideswipe me gently enough to put me out of commission for 6 months or so. 

That's when it hit me. (No, not a bus!) 

I Was Waiting For Something To Happen, Instead Of Making Something Happen

You see, I'd always been a go-getter, a woman of action. If I wanted to do something, I did it. I didn't sit around thinking about how much I wanted it and do nothing. I went after it and always succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. 

For example, in college, I took over a tired dance company and revitalized it. I started a new a cappella group, which took the campus by storm. I approached Spike Lee for a job, and he hired me after a three-month internship. (I'm not sharing this with you to brag. I'm sharing it with you because I'm betting you were a lively young thing back then too.)

I was fearless. So what in the world had happened to me?

I Went To Law School

Law school?! Yes, that coveted law school education was holding me back.

Just think about it. I was highly trained in risk aversion. I had spent three years studying the wreckage created, fortunes lost, and lives destroyed by people and entities taking action.  Even tiny actions.

In addition, I'd spent 5 years practicing law, which only reinforced my mindset that taking action--any action--was highly risky.

I didn't dare put my toe in the water of career change for fear that a piranha might gnaw my leg off. 

That's When I Realized My Right Brain Had Atrophied

That glorious, daring side of my brain that had propelled me through an engaging, meaningful, fulfilling college career had withered away. I needed to find some way to build it back up. 

I knew there were no career development programs like that out there. Trust me, I looked. So, I decided I was going to have to create one myself.

I did, and, within 2 months, I'd identified the career of my dreams. (And 8 months after that, I slammed the door shut on my less-than-fulfilling legal career.) Aren't you ready to do the same? 

Introducing...

The 30-Minute Blasting through the Obstacles Coaching Session

In this session you gain...

  • A new awareness of what is causing many of the challenges in making your career transition right now (they may not be what you think!)

  • A renewed sense of energy about making your career transition (or you'll know if it's better to stay where you are for now)

  •  A "next-step" action plan for moving forward with finding and pursuing work you love outside of the law!

 Don't believe it's possible?  Check out what one lawyer had to say:  

"Changed My Life!" 

"This coaching session changed my life! Before, all I did was complain about my law firm job without knowing what to do about it.  During our call, I've come up with 3 career possibilities and have actually started exploring them.  The session with you helped me know that I'm not alone in the way that I feel, that it's okay to want a job that is fulfilling, and that there are practical steps I can take to make a change."

Attention: Law School Students!

This coaching session is for you too. If you're a law school student reading this letter, don't wait until you're at a firm suffering. Here's what a public librarian who has bought legal materials for his library for years had to say: 

"Your Information Needs to Get Out -- Now!" 

"I have a steady user group of students or wannabee lawyers all the time. Any career or placement advice books on law we bought get used or stolen very fast. My users love the books so much, they never return them. 

"You could help lots of students leave before it's too late.  Your information needs to get out--now."
