“As a trial lawyer, I learned to cope with an uncertain and ever-changing workload. I became resolved to the fact that I had too much to do and not enough time in the day to do it. In this role, I acted reactively not proactively, bringing a simmering chaos to my life and the lives of those around me. I assumed that all of this was a function of my work. What I have learned through the able assistance of Cami McLaren Is that I can put a dent in that chaos, improving my work (and the lives of those I work with) as well as bringing a greater sense of serenity to my home life.

With her easy going but persistent style, Cami was able to strip away some of the assumptions about my perceived lack of control over my work – helping me to realize that I had a major part in choosing how my work gets done. Through a process of self-reflection (ably encouraged by a constructive Cami) designed to consider what would bring greater organization to my day-to-day activities, Cami helped me habituate some very needed changes with concrete, achievable tools. Unwilling to let me fail or compromise in this work, Cami fostered my effort to improve by holding me accountable for following through. I strongly believe that my work has been advanced significantly through this process of accountability.

Another important aspect of her work was to assist me in understanding that how I work affects those with whom I work dramatically. We have practiced communication skills which I believe have improved my work relationships and made it less stressful for those who struggle to help get me through the workday.

I am firmly of the belief that we can always improve as a person and in the things we do. I see concrete positive changes in my work and in my relationships both at work and home. I still have much to learn but am thankful for the insight and the tools that Cami has brought to bear on my situation.”
