Do you ever set a big leadership goal for yourself with the best of intentions, only to find yourself getting sidetracked when it comes time to actually pursue it?
As a busy lawyer, it’s easy to let important goals fall by the wayside in the face of constant demands on your time and attention. Having aspirations for greater leadership and feeling like those goals remain frustratingly out of reach is a common experience many lawyers resonate with. The good news is that, by implementing a few key strategies, you can learn to manage distractions and make consistent progress on your goals.
Join me this week as I explore the most common ways lawyers get distracted from their leadership goals, and share three powerful techniques that will help you step into leadership and achieve your goals. You’ll learn what it means to lead yourself effectively, the importance of quietening your inner critic, and how to set boundaries that protect your time and energy.
