Tame the Tornado!
Savvy Strategies to Shine In Your Career
(Without Sacrificing Your Life!)
A Transformational Workshop for Women Lawyers
The life of a successful female attorney today is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Women lawyers are not only dedicated to their careers, but are simultaneously juggling several other demanding roles including super-spouse, ultimate mom, part-time chauffeur, family leader, community organizer, mentor, girlfriend and let’s face it… all around gold-star a-plus achiever!
Are you trying to balance priorities in your own life and starting to feel the pinch?
Juggling the demands of a fast track-career alongside your personal goals and family responsibilities is a tall order - one which many women endeavor to pull off, but not without encountering some challenges along the way.
For example…
- You are committed to creating a successful legal career, but feel overwhelmed with the demands on your time and energy.

- You feel guilty for not spending as much time as you’d like with your children, spouse, or people who mean the most to you.
- You are so exhausted at the end of your day (or week) you have no energy for anything beyond your work life.
- Even when you have time for yourself, you are plagued by all the things you “should” be doing so find it hard to relax and enjoy yourself.
- You give give give to everyone (work, family, significant other) but it still seems like whatever you do, it’s never enough.
- You would love to have more balance, peace, joy and fulfillment in your life, but you don’t know where to start (and you’re not sure that’s a realistic goal any way).
- You are starting to wonder if becoming a lawyer was the right choice for you? Sometimes you fantasize about giving it all up. (E.g., Working at Starbucks looks like it would be a lot less stressful and a lot more fun).
- You are not quite sure where your career is heading. You are wondering if you’ll be able to achieve what you want (especially with the changes in the economy) without sacrificing some things that are important to you.
- You have a subtle but consistent “nagging” feeling that you are missing out - and that something needs to change - but you don’t know what to do (and don’t have time to think about it either).
If you are experiencing any of these challenges, you are not alone.
And (believe it or not)…your life doesn’t have to be this way!
“I am so thankful that I attended Michelle and Sonia’s seminar. I came away feeling that change is possible for me and that I can take the steps to improve my life and career.”
