For lawyers who are on a flex time or reduced schedule what advice do you have about ‘staying in the game?”Flextime or reduced schedules can offer a great way to balance life and work but for some it can feel a little isolating. Shuttling between your two arenas—work and life-- with little or no time for networking, professional development or collegial banter can leave many attorneys feeling professionally disconnected. For some the key to successful flextime arrangement is having an equally clear and active action plan for “staying in the game”. Creating a “staying in the game” action plan can helps foster and strengthen an attorney’s professional development and circle of colleagues and may ease the way for that moment when they may decide to return to fulltime practice. Staying in the game can mean different things. For some it means staying active in professional associations like the local Bar Association, for others it means committing to attend a certain number of firm social functions, and for others it may mean becoming more active in alumni association or clubs. The important thing is not what you choose, but that you choose and commit to a “staying in the game” plan of action that not only compliments your flex time arrangement but that can offer the support and network of your professional community. |
