You'll meet 4 amazing experts, each bringing you a gift that will help you bring your law practice to that next level - where you feel fulfilled in every way.
J. Kim Wright, J.D.
Kim asks the question, What if lawyers were peacemakers, problem-solvers, and healers of conflicts?
She created the Renaissance Lawyer Society and Cutting Edge Law to explore this question and gather her tribe of peacemaking, problem-solving, conflict-healing lawyers.
Kim loves being in community, and you'll love being in inquiry with her, watching your blocks disintegrate and your inspiration bloom.
Teri Beran Kulat, J.D.
Teri stands for lawyers who love the work they do and who love Life.
She trains in the collaborative practice model of dispute resolution and coaches lawyers and other professionals who want greater peace and satisfaction in life so that they can contribute to their fullest.
Teri loves singing, and your heart will sing with her practical tools for transforming your practice.
Gretchen Duhaime, J.D.
Gretchen knows that holistic wellness is an integral component of effective lawyering.
She created Practicing on Purpose LLC and the 7 Purposes wellness model to give lawyers an easy way to stay balanced and be fully integrated.
Gretchen loves dreamwork, and you'll bring your big dreams to the world with her exercises.
"After an hour with Kim, I was validated in my assumptions and began to feel the legs grow on a couple of ideas that had been bobbing around in the ether of my mind. Beyond brainstorming, it is such a comfort to know that we are in this together and that being a trail blazer is not only supported, but celebrated. Kim is the great connector and as she dropped names, I picked them up like pennies, each one of them an important bridge to “this” concept and “that” idea. I always have a to-do list, but talking through some of my tasks with Kim helped me prioritize what’s “next” and get focused on what rings most true to me."
Pamela Donison, founder of Donison Law Firm, PLLC

You'll discover where your passion meets the world's greatest need, and start creating your plan to get there.
