The Happy Lawyer Happiness Model - How Happiness Works (for Lawyers)
Have you ever wondered what made happy people happy? And what about what made unhappy people unhappy? Truth be told, I’ve wondered it a lot. I’ve had good reason to. Over the 12 years of my legal career, I’ve spent quite a lot of time unhappy. I didn’t want this to be my life. So I committed to coaching and to Leader Rising. I’ve been making progress. But some time in 2021, I had a big idea. I was going to write a book. A book that would help lawyers everywhere get happier, so that they didn’t need to go down my deep rabbit hole to get there. And thus was born my dream of the Happy Lawyer book. As of the time of writing, I have completed 75 interviews of lawyers - happy lawyers, miserable lawyers, and lawyers in between. Some have been in private practice, others in-house, and a few had left law altogether. I pulled out patterns from among the happy lawyers and miserable lawyers. And I’ve taken these patterns, mixed them with my ~500 hours of coaching clients, as well as with my own life experience and the wisdom I’ve taken from many of the top personal improvement books, and I’ve created …. (I hope you’re doing a drumroll over there ): The Happy Lawyer Happiness Model. Want to learn more about it? Give this episode a listen.

What to Ask Yourself if You're Stuck
I was listening to a podcast (Minds and Mics with Nick Wignall) recently. He was interviewing Michael Bungay Stanier about his book How to Begin and they spoke a lot about reclaiming your ambition. The main point of Michael’s book is to get started. Not to finish your dream. Just to start. That first step is such a huge step towards achieving those dreams. And those dreams will probably change during the course of your journey. Starting is the biggest step. There’s so much value in the momentum. And Michael proposes some questions to help kick start that journey. - What’s the benefit of the status quo? - What’s the benefit of your big dream? Now I love these questions. And they got me thinking about other questions that I thought would be super useful to someone who is stuck in the space before they start: - What’s at risk by pursuing your dream? - What’s at risk by leaving the status quo? - What are you afraid of? What’s behind that? - What are you holding on too tight to? I believe that these questions are incredibly useful for anyone who is stuck. A lot of the stuck people who I’ve seen have been stuck because they weren’t being clear enough with themselves about all of the competing internal desires, nor how worried some of those internal parts were. The more they tried to ignore those worried parts, the more entrenched those parts got, the more stuck they got. Think of it this way: If your car was stuck in a snowy street and 5 people pushed from the front and 5 from the back, you wouldn’t move anywhere. Similarly, if the parts of your mind are not working together to achieve a common goal, it’s harder to move forward and you end up stuck. If you're interested in hearing more about this, you're in luck. This week's podcast episode is all about it.

Focus, Starting Easy, Loving Yourself
It’s been almost two months since the last podcast episode. A lot happened in that two months. The biggest of which, of course, was the omicron COVID-19 wave which caused schools to shut down and me to be at home with both of my boys. I had to take a step back. To consolidate, and to focus on what’s important. I kept coaching, but stopped recording the podcast. So, fast forward to a couple of days ago when I had time to myself for the first time in over two months. It was weird. And it was tough, too. Throughout 2021 I was writing a lot. So I thought I’d try and get that back. I set myself a timer - 20 minutes. Just do what you can with 20 minutes. Immediately my brain says, “You’re taking too long. It’s not going to be good. You might as well do something else that’s more productive.” I also found myself getting very distracted. I tried to power through. It sort of worked. I ended up taking breaks, but also kept writing. It got a bit better over the 20 minutes - the last 2 minutes were easier and more productive than the first 2. This story, to me, illustrates two things: Focus is a muscle. And I hadn’t flexed it in a long time. Being kind to myself was really helpful in allowing myself to build my focus again. Focus was a habit I needed to build again. And the most important part of building a habit is showing up. We don’t walk into the gym for the first time and expect to lift 300 lbs. As soon as I was more kind to myself, I started getting into the flow, writing without thinking, and doing some good work. So, whatever it is on your plate right now, just do it. Just show up for yourself. Join us this week as we discuss this and more.
