Description

Being an attorney is often glamorized through courtroom dramas and those on the screen. The reality is that most lawyering is much different than most people imagine and attorneys, who face one of the highest rates of untreated depression in their profession, find themselves struggling with everything from leading to their personal lives. On this episode, we are joined by John Mitchell, an attorney, an executive coach and the president of KM Advisors, a consulting firm that focuses on supporting legal leaders."We want to keep thinking about, how do we solve for that so that we can truly be a democracy and a justice system that works for everybody no matter where you fall on the spectrum." - John MitchellLearn more by visiting our website and follow along with us on Instagram.
