In this episode, we are joined by a career complex commercial and civil litigator from Buddle Findlay, Cora Morrison. Cora has gained a huge amount of experience across smaller and boutique to large national and highly-ranked Firms, gaining interesting perspective on the workplace.‍It may have been really easy to discuss Cora's background and work, but she chose to do something a little different and address the elephant in the room - the darker side of practicing law. Of course we are talking about ambition, expectation and success, balance and burnout and how to deal with these things.‍As an ambitious and self-proclaimed impatient person, Cora heaped expectation on herself early to reach goals faster. With a whirlwind approach and external factors impacting her personal life, she barreled towards full-blow burnout, twice. Learn from Cora how this happened, what she did to rectify the situation and how one might prevent falling into it in the first place.
