15: When your mentors suck.

  • Summary

  • New attorneys (maybe you?) are leaving firms (or daydreaming about it) in droves. Why? It's not because you're not making enough money. Or that you've got a high billable hour requirement.

    It' because of a lack of good mentorship. Last week, I talked to the senior attorneys responsible for this and taught them how to think like mentor so they could effectively start being a mentor.

    This week, I'm talking to the suffering new recruits who are struggling to work for people who don't teach, communicate, or offer a modicum of support. Your self-esteem has tanked, you're numbing with food/pot/alcohol/netflix, you're not showing up as the kick-ass-lawyer version of yourself that you know you can be, and you're scolling Linkedin seething with jealousy while you "like" your classmates' posts about their enviable jobs. "How the hell did I get here?" you might be asking yourself.

    Wait, before you jump ship, LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE. I'm taking you through what to do if you're mentors suck or don't exist, how to stay in a job that isn't exactly your fave,  and how to make sure your next job situation is way way better. 

    This is a must-listen for new lawyers but also for anyone struggling in a bad-mentor-situation. And if you want to get some coaching on this, book a free session with me at www.renatamusial.com/freecoaching.
