I'll chime in. This next year is going to be a rebuilding year for me so I've been working on retooling and adding new skills and knowledge. I will try to pick up some writing and speaking engagements and have been doing a lot of zoom reconnecting with people that can act as referrals. Since we are all isolated at home, I'd say the networking has been very positive. Much more efficient in the virtual world. I've also been doing a lot more reading. Also hired a coach to help me with business generation tips and also possibly reflect on if this is really what I should be investing my energy into. I think I've gotten much more reflective these many months in lockdown.

Thank you! Really appreciate the candor.

My #1 goal right now is to find more time and energy to mentor and train associates. I worry that mid-level associates are not getting the support and opportunities that they need to stay challenged and continue to build their skill set. Also, teaching mid- and senior-level associates to train/mentor/manage newer associates is a skill that seems to be woefully unaddressed. In the end, it is all about having the team that can support your (growing) practice.

Agree completely; this is a struggle.

Is there any other goal?
I kid I kid. Expand speaking engagements. Get involved in pro bono initiatives. Serve as a director on state bank association.
