I read an earlier post about your cool career arc several years ago. I was partway through a legal career transition then, and since then finally made my way to a policy role that has been a much more satisfying game selection. Appreciate that you emphasize people shouldn't (can't!) copy your exact path. Much more about just trying things (including side projects) and being open to less conventional opportunities.
A couple of former business coaches once asked “Where do we play? How do we win?” These insights help answer the former. Think the book “Strategy and the Fat Smoker” made the point too and apologies if that’s already referred to. Thanks Alex. Best, Gav Ward
You’re very welcome Alex. One of those consultants is a man called Stephen Gold. Grew his firm Gold’s to 400 lawyers and paralegals then sold it to Irwin Mitchell. Very much worth reading and listening to his insights. Hope your week is going well. All best, G

Thank you for following me along my journey! Very inspiring to hear that you’ve found the right game for you.
