Episode Summary: Welcome to another episode of season 3 of Legal Well-Being in Action. Today’s episode, Getting Down to the Heart of the Matter, 2.0! is another installment of this year’s theme Well-Being: A Deeper Dive. For this episode Bill Slease speaks again with Elizabeth Lynch Phillips a lawyer and certified professional coach who works with lawyers to find greater meaning and satisfaction in their lives. Elizabeth dives deeper into the holistic approach to the practice of law with an emphasis on focusing within, being present in the moment, and drawing on our true selves in everything we do in the practice of law and beyond.
ELIZABETH LYNCH PHILLIPS, ESQ, PCC, CPCC: is certified as a Professional Coach by the Coaches Training Institute and the International Coach Federation. She works primarily with stressed attorneys who feel like the practice of law isn’t all it was cracked up to be, and isn’t giving them the satisfaction they’d hoped for. She is grateful to be a part of the growing, national focus on attorney well-being, and she is committed to bringing more compassion and humanity to the practice of law. She moved to New Mexico 10 years ago with her husband and 3 kids, to get away from the traffic and crowding of the DC area. She is currently a member of the State Bar of New Mexico and the Virginia State Bar where she practiced for 20 years.
