Welcome to episode 285 of the Grow Your Law Firm podcast, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with John Kormanik, Esq., a Certified Professional Coach and former trial lawyer. John brings decades of experience from the courtroom to the coaching space, guiding attorneys to say "no" to burnout and "yes" to a legacy they're proud of by realizing their potential and optimizing their life. With 20+ years as a practicing attorney including time as a Deputy Attorney General, law firm partner, and firm owner, John understands the unique pressures of the legal profession. Today, he coaches lawyers on reengineering their mindset, optimizing their systems, and rediscovering the joy in their work and life. When he's not coaching exceptional attorneys, you'll find John experiencing the world with Michelle, his wife of more than thirty years, riding his mountain bike, or walking his yellow Lab, Olive. What you'll learn about in this episode: 1. Dispelling Myths: - Success doesn't require constant grinding. - Being busy doesn't equate to productivity. 2. Strategic Decision-Making: - Importance of having free time for strategic thinking. - Making tough decisions and embracing white space in the calendar. 3. Work-Life Balance: - Avoiding the belief that one must be available 24/7. - Prioritizing personal time for long-term success. 4. Relationship with Money: - Understanding that money alone does not guarantee happiness. - Viewing money as a tool for experiences rather than the end goal. 5. Asking for Help: - Acknowledging that seeking help is a strength, not a weakness. - Recognizing the value of mentors and coaches in providing guidance and uncovering blind spots.
