You’ve heard the expression “wearing multiple hats”? It means, as an individual, we’re operating in two (or more) distinct, and often disparate, areas or functions. Attorneys do this on the daily. Because every attorney is also the CEO of their law practice, it’s a feature, not a bug, of the practice of law. Simply “switching hats” sounds simple, but it is, in fact, far from easy. A client story provides an example and roadmap.
Consistency Is Key: A Deep Dive To Reveal The Real Reason You Are Inconsistent.
If you’re being honest with yourself, you are inconsistent. Sure, you may perform at a high level occasionally, or even frequently, in one area of your life, but other than those instances, your performance, focus, and output are up-and-down. In other words, writ large, you are inconsistent and it’s absolutely destroying your ability to achieve big goals, drive your law firm and practice forward, and live the life you want.
Case Study: From Skeptic to Believer
I work 1:1 with world-class lawyers; it’s an extremely high bar to become a client because I understand the value of my unique brand of coaching for those who make the cut. Many of the attorneys who engage me begin from a place of skepticism; lawyers are, after all, risk averse and, thus, skeptical people. Time is one of the greatest areas of doubt in engaging me as a coach. “I’m so busy as it is, how will I have the time to meet with you or do any work in-between our sessions?” the story goes.
Why I Pivoted From Lawyer and Law Firm Leader To Lawyer who Coaches Lawyers.
If you know anything about me (a big presumption on my part, to be certain), you know I transitioned out of the active practice of law to a full-time career of being a lawyer who coaches other lawyers in the areas of peak performance and leadership. Constantly am asked about the “why” of the transition, am challenged as someone who “bailed” on his practice, or left my practice because I either couldn’t hack it (i.e. was burnt out) or was unsuccessful. Even in those situations where those questions and challenges weren’t voiced, my fear is they are playing in the background. I’m writing this post to put the questions and issues to bed once and for all. As the reader, you get to decide whether to believe what follows or not. That decision is out of my control. What is in my control, always, is my story, which I own 100%. It is not “Instagram-perfect,” because, frankly, nothing in life is. It is, however, mine.
