I think that you can couple the needs of these organizations for more manpower with the abundance of the social justice causes out there that they are serving and plug yourself right into them.” (Amy Hancock)“I think one of the more important and significant things we’ve seen as a silver lining is the opportunity to learn, shadow, and kind of view real-time proceedings, real-time client meetings, real-time patent examiner interviews, real-time pitches because it’s much easier to do that virtually than it is if they were traveling to a different court or jurisdiction or traveling to a client site for their pitch.” (Tim Henderson)Recommended ResourcesAmy Hancock (bio)Tim Henderson (firm)Professional Development Consortium (PDC)  PDC COVID-19 ResourcesHow to Navigate Working from Home During Time of COVID-19 (ABA)Job-Search Tips for Attorneys During COVID-19 (ABA)

12. Career Development in the Time of COVID, with Amy Hancock and Tim Henderson

Amy Hancock first started modeling as a baby. She's now travelled all over the world for photoshoots, both as a model and as a photographer. The modeling especially has given her confidence and, as a naturally shy person, it pushed her out of her comfort zone. All of this has been a huge benefit now that she is the owner of her own company. In this episode, Amy and I talk about how she was almost living two separate lives, hiding her modeling because she worked in a male-dominated industry. She didn't want to be judged or give them a reason to doubt her technical skills. What she realized after the fact is that most of this was in her own head and once it's out there, "the right people will think it's cool."
