A forum for discussing legal marketing and career issues facing associates and partners at law firms. The focus here is on law firm life; but this blog is also relevant to in-house counsel. I currently coach lawyers on how to achieve higher levels business development success and ultimately, greater career satisfaction. I have also been a legal recruiter (a/k/a legal headhunter)and spent many years in the CLE world. I particularly enjoy discussing the intersection of marketing and careers.

I have dedicated my entire legal career to helping lawyers advance their careers. I believe that every lawyer has the capacity to market themselves. I am a big believer in using coaching to achieve higher levels of performance. I have worked with several professional coaches over the years. I have even worked with a personal trainer.

Steve, good topic. I've been "down" on LinkedIn for awhile now, and this is after I spearheaded firm wide training on it for my previous firm. The problem with LinkedIn is its lack of connectivity and sharing of ideas, etc. It's really just a big ol' MS Outlook in the sky, if you ask me. Blogging, Twitter and Facebook are far more beneficial for me. Looking forward to the survey results.

I think the jury is still out on LinkedIn. While it seems to lack the immediacy of Twitter, Blogging and Facebook, I've begun to find it occasionally useful. I do learn things about my contacts that I might not otherwise have learned; and like on Twitter, I am sometimes lead to content that I might not otherwise have found. It is also interesting to see who is connected to whom. But you are right that the other tools seem more vibrant at the moment.
