For our “Mentorship Matters” podcast series, Dave and I recently interviewed Jane Magnuson. Jane is a Certified Executive Coach with her own practice – and she previously worked in Biglaw and as an in-house corporate lawyer, so she has been in our shoes. In this 18-minute episode, we discussed:

1. What inspired Jane’s shift from practicing law to executive coaching, and the influence her legal background has had on her approach to coaching

2. The similarities and differences between mentorship and coaching

3. The benefits of mentorship and coaching

4. Recommendations on what to look for in a mentor or coach

5. Strategies lawyers can use throughout their careers to identify opportunities and advance in their career paths

6. Jane’s observations about the attributes and practices that allow a person to flourish in their career and life, and advice on how to cultivate those qualities

Thank you to everyone who has been listening to the podcast and sending feedback! If you have a topic that your think we should cover or guest who you think would be great for the podcast, feel free to contact Dave or me by LinkedIn or email.
