Episode 16_Alana Tart_Mindfulness and the Modern Lawyer

This week, Adrian invites Alana Tart into the studio to discuss Mindfulness and the Modern Lawyer. Alana currently has three lines of employment, as General Counsel , Executive Coach and Mindfulness Teacher. In this episode, we get to the bottom of how and why she left a more traditional path to pursue a career with purpose that better honours ‘who I am and what I can best bring to this world’.On this journey, they also discuss:·        The challenges of a portfolio career – piecing together various strands and paths;·        Moving in and out of practice to industry;·        The importance of being open to pivoting during your career – you may think something is a good match but it might not be;·        Having several different employments to stay motivated and energised as a lawyer;·        Problems associated with the under-resourcing of people in their first role in management.And stay tuned for Alana’s valuable message to younger lawyers and people in general – when you know yourself, build your tribe.
