“Because of her extensive background and experience practicing law, Rochelle understood my issues immediately. She asked insightful questions that gave me a new perspective and allowed me to see solutions that I had not considered before. A small change in perspective led me to make a major change in my work that has made my life more satisfying and balanced. She has a gift for really listening and hearing. She is extremely easy to talk to and has excellent judgment.”

-Nancy L., a former partner at a large D.C. law firm, started her own practice to find more balance and control, only to become just as busy and stressed.

“After retiring as a law firm partner, I still had plenty of energy but almost no idea of what I wanted to do next. Rochelle used results from my personality tests and interest and aptitude assessments as the basis for discussion during our sessions. I appreciated her insightful questions and observations that challenged me to think deeply about how I wanted to structure not only my career, but the next phase of my life. I also appreciated how each session was goal-oriented. I left each session with “action items” that helped get me closer to an overall plan that incorporates work, relationships and travel. Working with Rochelle helped shift my perspective. I think I may have at least one or two more careers in me!”

-James H., a Washington lawyer and actor

 

“I began working with Rochelle as a mid-level litigation associate in a large international law firm. I was over-worked, stressed-out and unmotivated. Living in New York, with mounds of student debt, I didn’t see how I could afford to quit. I thought I just needed help figuring out how to balance my life so I could be a happier lawyer in the same firm. Rochelle helped me realize that I had other options. She remembered an off-hand comment I made about pottery design, a dream I’d always thought was “too impractical” to pursue as a career. Her insightful questions and observations helped me to see beyond the narrow box I thought I was confined to. Her years of legal experience guided me as I created and implemented an action plan. I am now working at a smaller firm that specializes in representing artists. And I am close to finishing my first pottery collection.”

-Roberta G., a New York lawyer and pottery designer
