Books
The three books I've written share a common theme: connecting with your feelings.
We've been taught that leading with the mind is paramount, but I believe that leading with the heart offers greater benefits. It allows us to solve problems sustainably and live more fulfilling lives.
"Let's Kiss All The Lawyers!"
... said no-one, ever
Warning!
This book is written from an unusually light perspective on a dark and otherwise closeted subject – personal discontentment within the legal profession. Virginia is asking us lawyers to take a step back and look at ourselves with a sense of humour and lightness, from a place that others might fear to tread.
That said, with serious science and other entertaining stories, she injects the spark of purpose back into those of you that feel like your heartbeat within the legal profession is about to flatline.
Putting the fun back into your fundamentals and using chocolate as her ally, Virginia promises you that what she has to teach cannot be unlearned. You will explore parts of you that have shied away from the light of existence.
In a meet and greet with your true self, not only will your clients thank you, you too, will thank you.
