Psychological
Testing for Employment Screening and Executive, Personal,
and Career Coaching for Attorneys
"One of my favorite musical
groups once wrote a song called ‘Happiness is an Option'.
Maynard Brusman can show even the most jaded lawyers out
there that ‘happiness is an option' for them in a way
that they might never have noticed or seen before. Believe
it or not, attorneys can be happy in both their personal
and professional lives. It takes time and effort, but Dr.
Brusman can show you how."

Working
Resources specializes in psychological testing for employment
screening and executive coaching, personal coaching, and
career development for attorneys. We
help law firms assess, select, coach and retain attorneys
that are a great fit with the firm's culture. As trusted
advisors to senior partners, we help attorneys develop the
characteristics of good leadership. (Read our article:Self
-Management for Lawyers...Are you Ready for a Coach?)
Some attorneys seek help in order to
perform at the highest possible level at their firm. As
executive management coaches, we help attorneys develop flexible
leadership styles and the qualities of good leadership. A
multi-rater 360-degree feedback appraisal process provides
data that informs behavior change.
In the increasingly demanding world
attorneys face; many lawyers desire to achieve professional
success, a fulfilling life, and true happiness. We
help attorneys develop emotional intelligence competencies
and lead authentically happier lives.
Most attorneys live very hectic and
stress-filled lives. They
experience a great deal of pressure from the billable hour
requirement and client/firm demands. Finding a balance between
work and personal life without sacrificing professional success,
deciding on the best practice area or work setting, and making
career transitions can be challenging tasks, even for the
most talented and effective lawyer. We can help you create
more satisfying choices.
Read our Attorney
Work Life Balance Case Study to learn more.
A number of attorneys choose to develop
their own practice or seek alternative careers. We
help attorneys market their practice or create a career that
is more aligned with their values and evolving interests.
As executive management coaches, we help attorneys achieve
both their personal and professional goals.
You have made a major investment in
your legal career and developed some very valuable competencies. You've
earned the right to both career success and a happy personal
life.
