an epiphany
“I had an epiphany just now. You just explained it full circle, what you said about the good things that can come out of this bad experience. I’m finding ways to be grateful for this bad experience and understand how it can help me a stronger lawyer going forward. It’s changing my perspective. This has been really powerful.”

invaluable
“I haven’t had to worry about my résumé since law school. And even though I’ve looked at a lot of résumés, I haven’t had to really think about the transition to in-house and how that changes the résumé. You’ve done such a great job of explaining what you’re doing and why throughout. This has been invaluable.”

frustration

a break out moment
“It really hit me this past week: Shauna’s like a fairy godmother. You’ve challenged me to think about what kind of person and professional I want to be. What kind of brand I want to have. You’ve identified what's been one of my downfalls. This is, to me, a break out moment where I can be the lawyer I want to be. This has also been really helpful advice about how to get there. There are all these things that I don’t really get about how to go about accomplishing my goal, but you do! So one thing I’ve learned from you is how to start becoming the professional I want to be.”
