A holistic approach to designing your career

The Lawyer's Escape Pod

Elena Deutsch is the founder and CEO of WILL (Women Interested in Leaving Law). With a background in executive and leadership coaching, Elena guides women through the process of discovering what they want, leveraging their strengths, and researching inspiring new possibilities. In this episode, Elena and I dive into our shared appreciation for a heart-centered approach to career planning. For so many people, their career dissatisfaction is not simply a question of finding a new job. It’s about taking a huge step back and really examining who you are and what you want.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

• How we define a heart-centered approach (to a job search or entrepreneurship)
• How this approach leads to more alignment and purpose
• Making internally informed decisions, rather than having your plans be externally dictated
• How to explore your creative or off-the-beaten-path interests
• How your lawyer brain gets in the way
• The mindset shifts people need to make to approach their career this way
• The Great Resignation
• The importance of community and support
