Building Confidence and Clarity as a Lawyer (August 2023)

Laura Terrell is an executive coach, general counsel, and former special assistant to the president who has built a career across government, private practice, and nonprofit leadership. In this episode, she shares how coaching helps lawyers advocate for themselves, embrace career pivots, and find clarity in uncertain times.

LAWYER SIDE HUSTLES

Alongside her legal work, Laura built a thriving executive coaching practice. She now works with clients ranging from law firm associates to government lawyers, helping them prepare for promotions, navigate layoffs, or make strategic pivots.

“One of the interesting things about attorneys is we’re really good at advocating for clients. But sometimes attorneys are surprisingly reluctant to advocate for themselves,” shares Laura Terrell in Episode 103 of You Are a Lawyer.

Her coaching practice fills that gap, giving lawyers the tools to ask better questions, push beyond comfort zones, and build sustainable, fulfilling careers.
