Break from the Mold

Article after article, survey after survey, we keep reading about how most lawyers are stressed, overworked, and dissatisfied with their careers.  Yet, in law school especially, we continue to receive the same career advice—join a law firm, follow ranks, work long hours, subscribe to the traditional way of doing things, and so on.  Fuel the Spark is an introspective guide to helping lawyers break from the mold and find what works for them on a personal level to achieve a satisfying and rewarding career and life.  It is a great guide to blending ethical values with one’s daily life and work to find personal satisfaction and I would highly recommend it to anyone concerned that they are not achieving their maximum potential.

Lawyers & Elevator Speeches

The fine folks at the Colorado Bar Association shared this short clip from my Fuel the Spark: 5 Guiding Values for Success CLE presentation in March with The Learned Lawyer Website.

This clip is really more of a marketing hint than a legal ethics or law practice hint and is worth thinking about no matter what business you happen to conduct.
