Understanding the Science of Change

Change lights up an area of the brain, the prefrontal cortex, which is like RAM memory in a PC. The prefrontal cortex is fast and agile, able to hold multiple threads of logic at once to enable quick calculations. But like RAM, the prefrontal cortex’s capacity is finite—it can deal comfortably with only a handful of concepts before bumping up against limits.

Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to my website. Whilst a large part of this site is intended to develop discussion for the legal profession in terms of lawyer career development, career planning, and succession planning, it is also intended to assist with the implementation of what are generally referred to as "the soft skills" - an area of personal development sadly missing from most law school curricula. It also provides practical management advice for professional service firm owners and managers. Last, but certainly not least, I undertake Executive Search assignments for a select group of clients. Having had many years of experience as a hirer and manager of talent I have a solid understanding of what works and what doesn't when looking for new people. I hope that you will use the site in the very constructive way in which it is intended. I use the blog section for making general comments on various issues or posting articles that you may find of interest. Please feel free to contact me if there is anything I can assist you with. Cheers, Lawrence Atkinson
