Washington Lawyer - January/February 2022 - 27

FEATURE
career that not only
leveraged her legal
education and practice
experience, but also
catapulted her into a
burgeoning new field
she didn't know
existed.
Contrary to her initial
concerns about the
impact on her income,
Van Rijn's new career
turned out to be highly
rewarding on all levels.
MARIA T. VAN RIJN
Director of Practice Management,
Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP
Nycum-Duvnjak says
Horowitz provides her
with needed " accountability, "
which keeps
her focused on her
goals. She adds that
talking over professional
scenarios with
Horowitz has produced
immediate benefits
and is " therapeutic. "
Carol Burns, a lawyer
who spent 25 years with a global engineering and construction firm,
capped her long career with roles in the energy sector as general
counsel at a start-up and as a legal and business consultant, thanks to
Horowitz's guidance. Burns says every lawyer could benefit from
coaching at career inflection points.
Can uncoached lawyers achieve similar career-enhancing results on their
own? Whether due to time constraints or competing priorities, lack of
knowledge or interest,
habits of thinking over
acting, or not knowing
how to advance or
break into a new field,
many lawyers who
have worked with
coaches say they
couldn't have done it
alone - or it would
have taken too long.
Anderson, who worked
with Horowitz on her
job transition, sums it
up this way: " If there
are things you've been
doing for a while and
they're not putting you
where you want to be,
you need another view
to shake things up.
Another perspective
really helps. "
Reflecting on her successful
career move as
a result of working with
Bryce, Coley encourages
lawyers to remember that they don't know it all. " It's absolutely OK
to get help, and recognizing that is the first step to opening the door
leading to countless possibilities. Take the burden off your shoulders and
embrace it, " she says.
