TALK TO MY LAWYER EPISODE 16: Alana Tart

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’.

Along this journey, they also discuss:

• The challenges of a portfolio career – piecing together the 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’.
