This week, Adrian invites Alana Tart into the studio to discuss Mindfulness and the Modern Lawyer. Alana currently has three lines of employment, as General Counsel , Executive Coach and Mindfulness Teacher. In this episode, we get to the bottom of how and why she left a more traditional path to pursue a career with purpose that better honours ‘who I am and what I can best bring to this world’.
On this journey, they also discuss:
· The challenges of a portfolio career – piecing together various strands and paths;
· Moving in and out of practice to industry;
· The importance of being open to pivoting during your career – you may think something is a good match but it might not be;
· Having several different employments to stay motivated and energised as a lawyer;
· Problems associated with the under-resourcing of people in their first role in management.
And stay tuned for Alana’s valuable message to younger lawyers and people in general – when you know yourself, build your tribe.
