Have you found your community of fellow lawyers to walk with along this journey? I get it! Finding your people as a “non-traditional” lawyer can be a challenge. Today, I chat with Nneka Norville, one of the masterminds behind More Than Esquire Network about the work she is doing to build a platform for lawyers just like you. We chat about the community Nneka is building and her goals to support non-traditional lawyers in their search for professional fulfillment. 

 

What you’ll learn:

  • About Nneka’s transition from entertainment law to corporate social responsibility 
  • Why Nneka transitioned out of entertainment law
  • Steps for figuring out a new career path
  • How More Than Esquire Network came to be
  • Strategies for staving off burnout
  • The importance of making your own decisions

 

Best Advice for Finding Happiness

“Fear. Fear of what people are going to say. Fear of making the wrong decision. Fear of what the future holds.”

 

“To get past that fear you need to arm yourself with knowledge, information, resources, and really that human connection.”
