In this last episode of Peace Lab 2020 Podcast, which is also the Legal Mind Unwired episode, we close this unusual and unprecedented year of 2020 with an insightful and interesting conversation - with Lara Wentworth, THE Lawyers' Coach
Lara is a former Family Law Partner, but now works full time as a Performance and Wellness Coach who specialises in coaching members of the legal profession.
I was interviewed by Lara in April 2020 on her popular YouTube channel, focusing on well-being for lawyers. We bonded over our similar passions and our drives to help others especially our fellow lawyers through a deeper understanding of human mind and how we can unwire and rewire our thinking for more wellness.
That is why I was so pleased that Lara agreed to join me at the Legal Mind Unwired episode, to share her loving wisdom with others, because I know her story and knowledge would offer great value not just to lawyers, but us all.
Lara shared her personal journey on why she chose a career in law, and then how her true calling finds a way to her - to teach and help lawyers about managing stress, cultivating well-being ,but more importantly, on walking a path with aligned values and a sense of genuine success.
In early 2020, Lara transitioned out of her successful legal career in family law and estate planning, and took a leap of faith, becoming a full time performance and wellness coach mostly for lawyers. To me, that takes great courage and trust, and Lara certainly has those qualities! Combined with her passion to help others, no doubt she is a leading light, making great changes for the legal profession.
We discussed at length on the notion of 'success', as both of us were growing up in cultures (Jordanian culture for Lara and Chinese culture for me) which place a huge emphasis on achieving success. Yet, through our own journey, we have to find our own version of success, independent of social conditioning.
Also, Lara highlighted the importance of value in life and why aligning our work with such values is the key to achieve a sense of inner satisfaction.
Lastly, Lara shared her unique take on the year of 2020 which is the take-home message she would like to leave us with. Please be sure to stay until the end!
It was such a joyful connection and what a great way for us to finish the first year of Peace Lab 2020 Podcast.
Again, thank you and I hope you will enjoy this episode and look forward to connecting in the new year!
