Let’s start with a disclaimer – if you’re reading this blog and I have ever worked with you, this blog is not about you! This blog is about getting along with people, whom you have to work with but you find you just don’t like. It’s a bit like my cats – Halo is forced to live with Hades, but is always suspicious that Hades is getting more attention and cat treats.

I am a self-confessed CPD nut. I’m always signing up to lectures, workshops and seminars to discuss where administrative law might be headed, find out how I can better use technology in my practice or gain more confidence in marketing and networking. I love CPD because I love the law and my job – and CPD is how I find out what’s happening in the law and how I can be better at my job.

However, the journey for a later lawyer can be a lot different to that of a high school leaver. Many later lawyers go to study law whilst juggling other responsibilities, such as raising children, a full-time job and a mortgage. Later lawyers’ learning and development will benefit from networking with other second career lawyers.

February seems to be the month of ‘giving up’ – Lent, Febfast, post-Christmas diets. Every year I give something for Lent – this year it’s alcohol. Why do it? In a world where everything we desire is at our finger tips, I like to spend 40 days going without one thing. It’s an excuse to break cycles and habits that have developed through the year, giving me an opportunity to be a little bit healthier or productive. Here are some of the strategies I’m using to ditch alcohol (albeit temporarily):

Is the bulk of your day spent doing work that engages and interests you? How did you end up in your area of specialisation? Did you fall into it accidently or was it perhaps a uni elective that you took on a whim? Or is it because it is your burning passion and your pursued it relentlessly?
