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."

John Faricy, Law Firm Senior Partner
Faricy and Roen, PA

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.
