The Power of Going Off Script and Finding Success on Your Terms

01/23/24 • 42 min

Welcome back, powerhouse! [00:00] You know what has held me back the most in my career and life? The “shoulds” of the world! Who told us life HAS to look this way? [00:37] Our guest Lauren Klein is one that actually lives life in a way that shows just how much our life truly is our own! Private practice law doesn’t have to come 20 years into your journey. [04:25] Especially when we don’t have time to wait because not only are we lawyers and women, but we’re mom’s! [09:14] Lauren tells us just how she made the transition from big law to private practice [14:20] and the mindset shifts she endured to rise to the occasion [19:47]. You all know I love a fast track to where we want to be. Can you imagine how far we would have been if we had a Lauren during our stint as law students? [26:35] But, even more than mentorship and coaching, community will always make the cream rise to the top! [33:07] Lauren’s Legally Blonde Moment includes 2 blondes making their mark. Elle Woods strikes again! [38:18] Closing [40:55]

The Untapped Power of Personal Style for Female Attorneys

Welcome back, Powerhouse! [0:00] We are in for a treat with this episode. We’re talking all things fashion, style, and how exactly those two things impact your career. [00:33] Style expert for us lady lawyers, Estelle Winsett is here to provide back up while we work through just how she and Elle Woods merged their love for law and fashion. [03:03] Believe it or not, the way you show up to the office can hold you back. Our superiors often make hiring and promotion decisions largely based on how we present ourselves. [08:01] So, Estelle supports lawyers in finding their signature style–starting with Pinterest, a closet cleanse, and then confidence. [12:14] Let’s get some notes on how to not waste time or money while revamping our wardrobe! [21:25] Finally, our Legally Blonde Moment reminds us that Kelly Clarkson still hits! [29:04] Before you tune out, hop over to Facebook to join the Powerhouse Lawyer Facebook group [32:02]

3 Practical Tips for a More Peaceful Legal Practice

Welcome back to the Powerhouse Lawyers podcast! [00:00] The PHL community talks a lot about releasing ourselves from imposter syndrome and old versions of ourselves. Success starts when we decide to break free from the prisons of our mind and emotions. [00:30] Our guest today is Gary Miles. Lawyer, coach, and author of Breaking Free: A Guide to Achieving Personal and Professional Freedom as a Lawyer. [04:02] Gary’s journey of breaking free started with releasing himself from people pleasing and learning to practice law in and out of sobriety. [08:33] What saved his career and cultivated the life he wanted, was his openness to ask for help. As lawyers, we struggle to ask for support because we think we are supposed to know everything. [14:09] But, freedom is found in holding a hand while you work to shift your mindset and old beliefs away from what’s holding you back. [19:50] Gary’s book goes into detail about what these mental prisons can consist of–some you and I have experienced– and how to let that go! [27:03] Then of course, we bring Gary into the fold of Legally Blonde Moments. Have you ever forgotten your client's name? Yes, but what about in front of the jury?! [35:23] Closing [37:23]
