Lawyers Need Not Live in Fear

Recently, James Dolan wrote an excellent article in the Texas Lawyer about how lawyers are constantly living in fear.  "Our firm is ruled by fear," said one attorney. "Hell, the whole profession is about fear. Fear of not billing hours, fear of not bringing in business, fear of losing business. Fear of not making partner. Fear of being in trouble with my wife for working too much, and, of course, fear of being in trouble with the partnership for not working enough."

Have you had enough of this type of career. If so, you should check out Monica Parker.  Monica, who graduated cum laude from Harvard College and earned her J.D. from Harvard Law School, is out of the fear business and is now a career coach helping lawyers make the difficult transition from law to something they love.
