Women of Ward & Smith

Welcome

I’m Laura Chipman. I’m a practicing lawyer and a coach to women lawyers, helping you live and practice intentionally.

I’ll be joining your group to lead you through some personal reflection and collaborative exercises designed to support you in working happier:

  • We will check in on our values as a framework for decision-making, acknowledge our strengths as meaningful contributions, and develop a personal brand to attract success.

  • You will also call on each other to celebrate your successes, promote and spotlight your work, cross-sell your expertise, and champion within your firm community. You’ll learn about the unique ways you each contribute to your clients and to the firm, holding space for everyone to show up more authentically at work.

  • Next we’ll explore strategies to help you find wellness and balance, reducing the clutter to help you live and practice in alignment with your values.

With the community and momentum we build together, you have the opportunity to support each other like never before.

 

Slides

Values Exercise

In connection with our first workshop, you may choose to print out and complete the Values Exercise.

If you’d like to dig in even more, spend some time revisiting any strengths assessments you have completed in the past (e.g., Myers-Briggs, Clifton Strengths, DiSC). Make notes about what you remember learning about yourself. To start fresh, check out the Clifton Top 5 Strengths Finder ($19) or the VIA Character Strengths Survey (free) online.

 

Workbooks

At the time of each workshop session, you’ll be able to access the workbook here. Click the image below to view and download the workbook for reference following our session together. There are plenty of prompts and action items for you to take with you following the workshop.
