Attend from the comfort of your home or office, anywhere in the U.S.

Are you longing to leave the practice of law but struggling to find an alternative career? 

You’ve tried to make this "law firm thing" work but have come to the conclusion that you just don’t want to practice law anymore.  But you keep banging your head against a brick wall—your wall of reasons as to why you can’t make a career change.  You tell yourself:

• Making a career change is hard, scary, and time-consuming

• If I hang on, maybe it’ll get better

• Maybe I’m expecting too much from my career

• Everyone will think I’m crazy if I leave

• I should count my blessings

• I’ve got too much law school debt to leave

• I don’t have any other skills, besides the ones I use to practice law

• If I leave the law, everything I’ve done to get here is a waste

• Keep it up, and you’ll end up in the subway pandering for change

With all of these thoughts swirling around in your head, it’s no wonder you feel stuck.
 

You’re not the only one who’s struggling with how to do this.

A lot of lawyers went to law school "by default," i.e., they didn’t know what else they wanted to do and law school seemed like a safe choice.  If you’re like them, you "fell into" the practice of law and never learned any career development skills.  Plus, even if you did know what you wanted to do, it’s hard to find time—your days are already jam-packed with billable hours, family & friends, activities, and errands.  And those same family & friends are probably not your best allies when it comes to talking about leaving the legal profession. 
 

Finding work you love doesn’t have to be this hard.

I practiced law for 5 years and was miserable.  I had no idea what else I wanted to do though.  Actually, I was waiting for the magic telephone call—where someone told me they had the perfect (non-legal) career for me and I didn’t even have to interview for it.  The call never came.  Instead, I stumbled upon an approach that helped me identify my ideal work and create an action plan to get out of the law.  Within 10 months, I left the practice of law (and my six-figure income) and now have a career that I love.  And, yes, I can pay my bills and my family & friends are thrilled for me. 
 

Introducing How To Find The Alternative Career That’s Right For You

How To Find The Alternative Career That’s Right For You is a step-by-step program for career exploration, from how to discover engaging career alternatives to how to explore them without leaving your day job.  This 7-week course shows you how to…

• give that highly-developed, risk-averse left brain of yours a vacation and
• let your creative right brain identify and come up with ways to explore some exciting career possibilities.
   

Here are the six powerful strategies you will learn in How To Find The Alternative Career That’s Right For You

1.     The Power Of The Mind

We expose all of the reasons your mind concocts about why changing careers will be a big, fat mistake.  Then, we turn that negative thinking on its head so that you can let it go and focus on finding work you love.

2.     The Power of Vision

Next, we create a compelling vision for your life and work.  We create something so vivid, you can see it, feel it, taste, it and smell it.  Don’t worry—you don’t have to know what you want to do next to create the vision. 

3.     The Power of Your Talents

"But the only thing I know how to do is practice law." Au contraire, my friend.  Practicing law is composed of a set of learned skills.  Believe it or not, before you learned how to practice law, you had talents.  Talents are innate, and, yes, everyone has them.  More importantly, you have certain talents that if you don’t express them, you will be dissatisfied.  We uncover what those talents are.

4.     The Power of Play

If you’ve tried using grim determination to figure out what you want to do next with your J.D., then you know it doesn’t work.  Finding alternative careers is actually a playful enterprise.  I’ve got lots of fun exercises to help you uncover the clues to work that would excite you.

5.     The Power of Exploration

Daydreaming about how perfect your alternative career is may be fun but isn’t it time to get out of the land of make-believe?  Together we brainstorm ways for you to explore alternative careers and get the real picture of what they’re like, without having to give up your day job.

6.     The Power of Planning

There is nothing like an action plan to get you moving and motivated. You learn how to create a plan that keeps you focused on the ultimate goal, turning in your resignation letter and starting the career of your dreams.
 

Lawyers who are dissatisfied with practicing law and are ready to take action to find work they love outside of the law.

Sure you want to be successful and be able to make a good living, but you want it on your own terms.  You want work that has meaning, work that engages you.  Dare I say, work that you feel passionate about?  And—I know this is going to sound crazy—you want to have FUN while you figure out what to do next.

If you feel as if you’re ready to find this work and pursue it, then you’re ready for this program.  
 

The format of the workshop is a teleclass.  Teleclasses are workshops that are conducted over the telephone.  The great thing about a teleclass is that you can call in from anywhere in the U.S.  Once a week, for eight sessions, you'll join the other How To Find The Alternative Career That’s Right For You participants on a 90-minute telephone call.

So much more than a weekend workshop, this seven-week program gives you the opportunity to do more than just learn how to find and explore alternative careers.  You actually get the chance to discover some possibilities and begin the process of exploration.  You’ll also learn how to create an action plan to keep yourself on track once the program is over.

Plus, all How To Find The Alternative Career That’s Right For You teleclasses will be recorded. If you miss a session or two, you'll be able to listen to them online or download them onto your computer.  
 

What makes How To Find The Alternative Career That’s Right For You different from other career development programs or workshops?

How many career development programs or workshops have you heard of that are designed exclusively for lawyers who want to find alternative careers?  I don’t know of any.  Plus, this program is designed by a lawyer-turned-coach, someone who knows what you’re going through.  I’m going to take you step-by-step through the process that I used to make the transition myself. 

I know it’s hard to believe but by the end of the seven weeks, if you participate in (or listen to) all of the teleclasses and do the homework in between the calls, you will have come up with some alternative career ideas that you are eager to explore!
