I’m excited to announce the launch of Personal Strategy Compass, my new premium newsletter focused on helping professionals implement Personal Quarterly Offsites (PQOs) in their lives and careers. Subscribe here.
Does this seem all too familiar?
Late on Sunday night, sleep eludes you. Your law practice is successful by any objective measure, but something isn’t right. Maybe you’re a partner wondering if there’s life beyond billable hours or an in-house counsel dreaming of teaching or consulting. The weekend is ending, and once again, you’ve made no real progress on planning your first step, let alone a potential escape route.
Your thoughts circle between staying in a role that no longer fits, the uncertainty of making a change, and the gnawing feeling that you’re letting opportunities pass by. You are haunted by anxiety about Monday morning and the growing certainty that you need to make a change or one will be made for you.
Sound familiar?
I’ve been there. More importantly, I found a way through it.
That’s why I’m excited to announce Personal Strategy Compass, a premium newsletter that helps successful professionals who feel stuck in career transitions create clarity and forward momentum through a proven quarterly planning framework that transforms career uncertainty into intentional action.
In my decades of working with legal professionals and high achievers, I’ve noticed a common challenge: despite their success, many struggle to find clarity and direction when facing major career transitions or life changes. The daily demands of work and life often prevent them from stepping back to think strategically about their future.
Navigating your success your way, one quarter at a time
For many years, I’ve used PQOs to navigate major transitions, make strategic decisions, and maintain focus on what truly matters. From retiring from corporate law to building a teaching and writing career, PQOs have been my secret weapon for maintaining clarity and purpose. This proven framework combines the precision you bring to your legal work with the deeper insights needed to align your future with your true potential.
Think of it as a monthly masterclass from a trusted advisor who understands both the complexities of legal leadership and the challenges of career transitions.
From the first issue, I explain why PQOs matter:
“What makes PQOs so transformative? They’re a blend of strategy and mindfulness, offering clarity and a concrete plan to move forward. In this fast-paced world, it’s easy to get stuck in the churn of daily demands. PQOs pull you out of the whirlwind and give you the space to think deeply about what matters most.”
On their practical nature:
“PQOs aren’t about perfection. They’re about building momentum and staying adaptable. They work because they’re simple, repeatable, and flexible enough to fit into any lifestyle – while maintaining the rigor legal professionals expect.”
