→ Self-doubt dominates your internal dialogue; You can demolish opposing counsel's ideas and clients in cross-examination, but doubt yourself when you know you need to hold someone accountable.
→ Overthinking everything; You've rewritten those submissions seventeen times and still haven't finalised them.
→ Perfectionism has you paralysed; Better to do nothing than risk looking anything less than competent and in control.
→ Second-guessing is your specialty; Make a decision? Sure. Trust it? Not often.
→ Calling indecision "due diligence"; You're not being thorough, you're terrified.
→ Comparison is your full-time hobby. You know exactly where you rank against every peer, but have zero clue about your own leadership.
→ Workaholism; always another case, another client, another deadline—success means never saying no, right?
→ Yes-ing yourself into oblivion; Everyone else's urgent becomes your problem while your priorities collect dust.
→ Vulnerability = professional death; God forbid anyone sees you're human and imperfect under all that competence.🫢
→ Managing tasks, not leading people; You can focus on work and tasks, but you couldn't tell me what drives a single person on your team.
The brutal reality? You achieved everything you thought you wanted as a lawyer, and now you're "living the dream" 🤔 and somehow you're more stressed, isolated, and burned out than ever. Funny how that works.
It's time to choose: Keep performing the role of a leader who has it together, or become the trusted leader you're pretending to be.
I invite you to the FREE "Lawyer To Trusted Leader" Masterclass. It will explain the three-step formula for going from expert lawyer to trusted leader and the three trust-killing mistakes you're probably making.
P.S. I've already done the heavy lifting—500+ leadership books, Diploma in Leadership and Management, high performance and emotional intelligence certifications, Brené Brown's Dare to Lead, attended Harvard, real-world leadership disasters, and a law degree, and became a barrister. So you don't have to spend decades learning and practising leadership like I did. ⏰
P.P.S. Yeah, I know you're busy. June is insane, but tell me a month that's not busy. This is why you need THIS...
