How Multiple Assessments Help Lawyers Changing Careers

from The Former Lawyer Podcast · host Sarah Cottrell

Lawyers love a good assessment. Sarah has learned this running The Collab. There's something appealing about taking a test that promises clear answers about who you are and what you should do next.That appeal is also the problem. When you rely on just one assessment, it's easy to treat the results as the definitive answer. You think, "This is who I am. Now I need to find the career that matches." That kind of tunnel vision is exactly why Sarah uses multiple assessments with clients.Every assessment is a tool. It can be valuable and provide insight. But being useful and being something you should govern your career decisions on are two different things. Using multiple assessments means you can see patterns and themes that are more reliable than any single result.Assessments Sarah Uses:Values in Action (VIA) Chestnut Paes Sullivan (CPS) Enneagram CompassGallup CliftonStrengths Assessment (formerly StrengthsFinder)See show notes at formerlawyer.com/295
