The Joyful Practice for Women Lawyers Paula Price

We all wish we could only be in relationships with the most wonderful people who make us feel amazing, but the reality is there are always going to be people in your life who you find stressful. If you find yourself feeling frustrated, ruminating about what you said or didn’t say, and these interactions are pulling you away from what matters most, you’re in the right place because I’m offering you my favorite strategies for dealing with stressful people.
 
Learn what the concept of "expect and accept" entails, and why it’s a game-changer when it comes to de-escalating difficult conversations or stressful situations. Hear why resisting stressful people isn’t an effective long-term strategy, how your current coping mechanisms might not be serving you, and what happens when you recalibrate your expectations of other people.

Imagine the power of stepping into a coaching container full of women lawyers just like you. They’re smart, high-achieving, values-driven, excellence-seeking women who want to pursue big goals, overcome their challenges, and grow their professional careers.

This mid-year mark is the perfect time to check in, see how you’re doing, and assess how you want to spend the balance of the year. If you have a gnawing feeling that you have more on your plate than you want or need and you’re tired of feeling weighed down, a mid-year reset could be the ultimate way to pare things down so you can speed up your growth over the rest of 2024.
 
Listen in this week to hear why a mid-year reset offers the perfect opportunity to begin letting things go for a stronger, leaner foundation for the rest of the year. I’m showing you why sustainable growth involves letting go, how to begin identifying what’s currently holding you back, and what happens when you build the habit of taking things off your plate.

The leadership mindset is a common and emerging theme in my work with women lawyers. They often come to me at an inflection point in their careers where they need to make a big decision around their development, and it usually involves examining the role that leadership plays in their lives.
 
Discover what it means to adopt a leadership mindset and the top five characteristics of a leader. I’m highlighting the reasons for pursuing a leadership mindset, even though it may be challenging, what happens when you make this deep shift, and how to begin adopting a leadership mindset.

The legal culture is often one of “yes.” There’s a tendency in law to attract individuals who are helpers, high-achievers, or predisposed to want to do more. If this resonates with you, setting and asserting boundaries might feel like going against the grain of your work culture and your own internal wiring.
 
I highlight the challenges lawyers face around setting boundaries and receiving pushback. I’m showing you why it’s no surprise that you find asserting boundaries uncomfortable, how to have productive, proactive conversations around boundaries, and I’m giving you four ways to deal with “no” in a culture of “yes.”

Whether you’re a lawyer who has ADHD, suspect you have it, or you’re someone who supports somebody in your life with ADHD, this week, I’m sharing some of what I’ve learned about how coaching can help. In furthering my coach training specific to ADHD, I’ve discovered ADHD-specific resources that I’ve found to be helpful in my understanding of it, and I’m sharing my insights with you this week.
 
I explore how ADHD might be showing up for you at work, some of the challenges you might face in practice, both from the perspective of the lawyer and from management, and how coaching can help. I’m sharing the three areas to focus on that will help you thrive with ADHD, and when you might want to explore other resources besides a coach.
