Description
Gina Caruso is her law firm's "rising star" due to her success in acquiring a big client and generating over $1 million dollars in revenue as an associate. But, Gina feels more like a one-hit-wonder than a success and is on the verge of resigning from the firm. Her perception that she has failed at client development is only fueled by her belief that firm management hired a client development coach to work with her and other young partners at the firm who are not performing.
The second in a series, Rising Star provides lawyers and professionals practical step-by-step advice to becoming a successful rainmaker, developing a successful career, and having a fulfilling life.
About the Author
Cordell Parvin is among the nation's most widely known and respected transportation construction lawyers. With thirty-seven years of experience, he has established himself within his field as a rainmaker, instructor, and career coach. Cordell is passionate about teaching young lawyers. He works with them individually and seeks to inspire them based on their specific career goals. His enthusiasm for helping firms and lawyers achieve greater success prompted him to leave Jenkens & Gilchrist in January 2005 to open a consulting practice. He continues to practice construction law, frequently representing the nation's leading contractors. Cordell earned his law degree from the University of Richmond and his Bachelor's degree from Virginia Tech. He is a member of the American Bar Association, the Texas State Bar Association, the Virginia State Bar Association, Associated General Contractors of Texas, the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, and the American Arbitration Association. Cordell makes his home in Dallas with Nancy, his wife of thirty-six years and greatest supporter. Nancy is an avid golfer who started playing when she was forty years old and now has a handicap of one. She plays in tournaments in Texas and across the United States. While Cordell is proud of the work he has done for clients and, more recently, for lawyers, law firms, and law students, he is most proud of his daughter, Jill, who follows her passion and teaches middle-school students.
Convinced by her husband Tony to hold off on tendering her resignation and give coaching a try, Gina meets with Jim Hardy, the coach hired by her firm–the same Jim Hardy that mentored Tony in Say Ciao to Chow Mein: Conquering Career Burnout. Following Jim's advice, Gina learns to set goals and develop a business plan based on her professional and personal roles. By executing her plan, building her reputation, and building relationships, Gina achieves success in her career and client development, while finding greater fulfillment in her personal and family life.
