Should I Stay
or Should I Go?
Have you ever wondered whether law is really the right career for you?
 Have you had Saturday night drinks or Sunday brunch with friends who love their work and wondered if somehow you'd missed the boat on leading a satisfying career?
Maybe you talk yourself out of change with explanations like this:
- I have a good (enough) job ,
- I'm making good (enough) money, or
- If I change things now, my spouse/mom/cat would be horribly disappointed in me!
On Wednesday, October 22 at 7:00 PM EST please join Monica Parker, J.D. (of LeavingTheLaw.com and author of The Unhappy Lawyer) and Julie Fleming-Brown, J.D., A.C.C. (of LifeAtTheBar.com and author of 5 Foundations of Time Mastery for Attorneys) as we talk about when to say when.
We'll have a no-holds-barred conversation in which we'll discuss:
- How to know when it's the career that doesn't fit -- and what to do about it
- How to know when it's your area of law or your firm or the way you approach practice that's giving you trouble -- and what to do about that, too
- Concrete steps unhappy lawyers can take to make a change within or outside the law
At the end of this call, you will have a better idea about why you're not happy and what you could change to find more career satisfaction.
Register today to save your seat and get your answer to Should I Stay or Should I Go. As usual, all registrants will receive an MP3 recording of the call, so sign up even if you can't join us live!
