Career Sh!t: A letter from "Sword of Damocles"

This is the first instalment of the show's deep dive into everything building (and sustaining) a legal career. We're calling it "Career Sh!t"—but you can call it whatever won't get you fired.

Featuring the very excellent expertise of your two newest virtual besties:

• ⁠Lara Wentworth, Director + Co-founder, Coaching Advocates; Certified Performance and Mental Fitness Coach, and Master Practitioner (Neuro Linguistic Programming); and
• ⁠Olamide "Olly" Kowalik⁠, Special Counsel, Revolution Law, + Co-Creator and Co-host, Tilé and Olly Meets Podcast.

This week we answer a letter from one of our listeners, "Sword of Damocles"; a lawyer struggling with recently being made redundant, and wondering "what's next?".

We also enjoy forcing an inimitable Australian legal ethics legend—Stafford Shepherd—to provide his sage ethical guidance in a strict one-minute segment. Just because I have the attention span of a gnat.

PS: If you don't know what the heck a 'Sword of Damocles' is, look it up—it's the perfect snack-sized Google for the next time you want to avoid making eye contact on the train.
