Heather Hubbard leaves law firm partnership to start a personal and professional development company

Heather Hubbard is a former Intellectual Property and Entertainment lawyer who practiced for 10 years before being drawn by her unique talents into starting her own personal and professional development company. She tells us about her journey out of practice, the limits we place on ourselves as lawyers, and tools we can leverage to help us move ourselves forward.

In this episode, we discus:

• Heather wasn’t miserable, she just realized there was a better fit in another roll
• It can take some time and reflection to realize you have unique strengths; something you may think everyone is good out might actually be your particular zone of genius
• Overthinking a change may keep you stuck
• Law practice can be seen as a building block rather than something you abandoned 
• Lawyers make it so hard on ourselves 
• We are black and white thinkers, which puts undue pressure on us to find the “right” answers 
• Mindfulness and thought work help people reframe their thinking
• You need to give yourself time and space to gain perspective
• You’ll take your baggage with you, so do the work upfront 
• Heather offers a variety of services and also hosts a podcast: Hustle & Flow
