Employers

Your workforce will change in the next decade.  Are you ready for anything?  

• Layoffs,  retrenchment, slow growth or no growth: all requiring “do more with less;”
• Age-in-place generation shift:  Boomers move out; Xers move up; Millennials move in;
• Growing-economy lateral movement:  Employees leave for new or “better” opportunities.

You “own” the knowledge that operates your enterprise.  Are you ready to transfer it for your future?

• If you lose key players at any level, could you recreate their mission-critical skills, replace their industry knowledge and reconstruct their institutional memory?
• How much of your employees’ work is not detailed in written job descriptions? Not captured anywhere?

Lawyers and Law Students

Professionalism and professional development   21st century lawyers and law students are challenged to take charge of their careers at the most basic and most sophisticated levels.  To carve out satisfying careers, they must:  

• master basic career development tools (self-assessment, resumes, cover letters, networking),
• move swiftly into the culture of work (working with all generations, working with support staff, identifying and navigating relationships among stakeholders at work), and
• embrace the business of law  (professional development, changing technology, economic realities and entrepreneurship in public or private practice).  

Alternative careers   “What is an alternative career and how can I get one?” A successful transition to a job without the title “lawyer” requires translating legal skills and experience to attract an employer who might not otherwise have considered a law-trained candidate.

Individuals

In any one day, a 21st century career path can look curious, challenging, bumpy, semi-secure and fraught with peril.  In any one day, a 21st century lawyer may express a love-hate relationship with work, want a career change, want to return to work, want to re-align personal and professional goals, chose an alternative path or flee a failing enterprise. 

Whatever your professional question, Pass the Baton llc can either help you create a strategy for success or point you toward individuals and resources to help you. Learn More...
