How Senior Lawyers and Professionals can reignite passion for their job without having to change it even if they gave up hope a long time ago

You are at your office or working from home, another call, another contract to draft, another meeting, another negotiation. Day in and day out you feel something has been lost along the way.
Where are the days where you were attacking the work day with passion, determination and motivation, feeling proud yet eager to do more ?
When you're a senior lawyer, being able to keep the passion and enthusiasm of the old days can often be a challenge but it has a great impact on your work enjoyment and performance. At times we feel we can keep going just because we have to keep our job, status, reputation etc, but that fire of the old days is gone.
So at this point if this is you, would you resign to this less than energising situation?
I’m guessing you wouldn’t.
Well what I haven't told you, is that was me 10 years ago, I was a stressed out lawyer, bills to pay, colleagues expectations to meet and exceed, never mind clients demands.
But I was able to relight my fire…
And I'm going to reveal exactly how in a moment.
Before I reveal that to you, you first need to understand that it is perfectly normal that at some point in our career we feel unmotivated, spent and maybe bored.
We may be tired, burned out, we may have stalled in our progression, we may have changed in our interests, values and life direction, or simply we have let the victim mindset set in making us see everything as pretty much dull.
When i was going through this as a senior lawyer, these were the steps I took to regain that passion.
1 - Mindset: I changed from being the victim to the victor, this involved working from a place of gratitude…
2 - Setting New Goals: …
3 - Long term Vision: working on purpose…
4 - Mentor/coach: outside guidance
5 - Comfort Zone: How I grew it…
It took me 2 years to narrow these steps down and understand exactly what I needed to do.

And because of it my life changed like I could never imagine.
The Reignite System:
Over time as I grew from being a lawyer to a Lawyer Coach, I started to use this with my clients. And it produced amazing results.
Lawyers, experiencing renewed passion, enthusiasm, and motivation that only a few weeks ago they could only dream of.
And, this is why I took those 5-steps plus 2 more, and created what I now call the “Re-Ingite System” a system that allowed me as well as my clients to regain motivation, fulfilment and reignite the passion in their work and profession, all of which also benefits their overall life satisfaction.
Knowing how to achieve these types of results is critical to your success as a senior lawyer.
Now, remember, and think back to the initial story of the daily grind…
Well even only a few weeks in to my changes using the 5 steps - I was able to experience a new beginning for my career , first inside me
