CPD 424 – Self-Management for Success

Recorded: 2025-06-04
Qualifies for 1.5 CPD Hour

The continuingly high Associate attrition rate suggests that many Associates are not finding satisfying careers in their law firms. While Associates have little control over their employers (other than to leave them), they can in fact have tremendous control over their own careers. Having coached over 1,000 Associates and heard from many others through interview processes, the speaker has a unique insight into what works (and what doesn’t) to promote Associates’ careers and to help them increase their satisfaction with their careers. This session will focus on three critical elements to Associates gaining control: branding, planning and discipline.

• Creating and living a personal brand. What is a brand, why does it work, and how can you create and follow one? It’s a simple but powerful tool. Get it working for you.
• Developing a Plan: how branding works, why do you need a brand, how to develop one, how to stick with it.
• Discipline. A lack of planning and discipline tends to be at the heart of every unhappy Associate.

This session explores the benefits of developing and sticking with good habits, and talks you through some important habits to help your career progress as quickly as it should.
