Do lawyers need cultural intelligence?   We know that they need the knowledge and skills related to their profession -that’s a given.    But are there other skills or capabilities that can help lawyers do their work well in today’s world?   It’s a question I discussed in a recent interview* with my friend and colleague from my #CQFellows 2023 cohort Rick Petry. As a lawyer who has previously managed his own law firm and is now an Adjunct/Affiliated Professor at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law in Minnesota, USA, Rick knows lawyers.   And he feels for them – for the challenges they face in today’s world. We discussed how legal training doesn’t traditionally prepare lawyers to build the layers of trust that are needed in helping relationships and the impact that lawyers can experience on their wellbeing when they work constantly from an adversarial position.   We spoke about the unconscious biases that can influence lawyers work and thinking and the societal changes and challenges that can stretch people beyond their traditional comfort zones.   Rick firmly believes all #lawyers need cultural intelligence along with emotional intelligence and the ability to recognise the stressors they are experiencing.   As he said, “if I can equip them ... and share that with them, then my hope is that I can save some lives.” #CQ #ProfessionalGrowth #CQFellows   * Link in the comments below

This is an oldie but goodie from an interview with Greek University about pivoting to full time coaching minority lawyers after having the ultimate coach challenge of winning an election that had never been won before. I’m sure all minority lawyers suffer with imposter syndrome at times, but when working for others, it’s easy to mask it since you are borrowing their authority when you represent. Not so easy to do when you own your own practice and are constantly second guessing yourself. Lawyers are one of the easiest markets to begin a business in and let me tell you a secret. Owning your own business can definitely help you win an election for yourself or for someone else you want to see in office. Many times, the only trajectory we latch on to is being a Judge, bc at least we know that means consistent money monthly, at a higher rate than most of the people around you. (Struggling practitioners). But here’s the kicker, choosing to struggle as a lawyer is a personal choice. When you are ready to CHOOSE a path less traveled for yourself and many in this legal industry (less than 1% of all lawyers have law practices. Being in an antiquated field, many lawyers haven’t even began to incorporate business coaching into their practice). 👉🏾Slide in our DMs if you want to explore your vast money making options as a lawyer. #LawyerCoaching #BlackLawGirls #BrownLawGirls #MinorityLawyerCoaching #SafeSpace

Do you feel the burdens of being a lawyer?   How can you be the best advocate for your clients when you have to balance your own life issues?   Being a lawyer is not easy.   It does not always seem practical or fair to compartmentalize your own life’s traumas even though your clients demand your full attention.   Yet, that is exactly what we, lawyers, are expected to do.   As this year’s president of Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys, lawyer well-being is one of my initiatives.   As president, I was lucky to be invited to a dinner hosted by Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers, Massachusetts, an organization dedicated to helping the legal community thrive and respond positively to challenges that disproportionately impact the profession.   There, we heard from our Chief Judge of the Supreme Judicial Court, Kimberly Budd.   Our State’s highest court advocates for the well-being of our lawyers because to not do so, may deprive us of the benefit of our best and brightest.   If you are a lawyer struggling with serious health issues that are exacerbated and/or caused by the way law is practiced, I implore you to seek help.   Seeking help is not a weakness.   Being vulnerable, and overcoming adversity is heroic.   Great organizations like this help lawyers navigate the challenges of life.   We are lucky to have the resources provided.   Please know, you are supported.   You are heard.   We are here for you.   Don’t struggle alone.   Don’t deprive us or your clients of the benefit of your legal mind, your compassion and your exceptional service.   If you know someone struggling, please share this post with them.   If you want to hear more from me, please follow me on LinkedIn.
