Find Your Landing Zone is a seminar and a workshop. It is designed to motivate lawyers to prepare for a fulfilling life beyond the practice of law. Rules of Professional Conduct pertinent to well-being and relevant to transitioning to retirement or another career. The program includes exercises, down-to-earth advice and inspiring accounts from others who have set and achieved goals and effected change in their lives. This exceptional combination of tools, advice and stories will provide motivation for attendees to plan their move to a different career, to modify their relationship with their law firm or employer so they can also pursue personal goals or to plan for a fulfilling retirement.
