Law students: Uncertain what kind of lawyer you want to be?
Law profs: Unsure how to advise them?
For the past 12 months, I've been leading the redesign of a website to help (https://t.co/qZqFM6mvVS).
It's geared to @WFULawSchool students, but the content applies widely.

Psalm 27:14 — from biblegateway.com
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
From DSC:
I remember the time that a good friend of mine pointed this verse out to me — it was a few years after I had graduated from college. It was an important message for me at the time — and still is important to me today. But it was a verse that I would later realize is easier said than done at times.

How to Cope With Presentation Anxiety — from chronicle.com by James M. Lang
Here’s how a professor and experienced public speaker has learned to deal with the academic version of stage fright.
Excerpts:
Build a pause into the initial minutes of a presentation, so that you can stop and catch your breath. I don’t mean the kind of brief pause you might make between two sentences. I mean a substantive pause in which you are able to stop speaking — for at least 30 seconds — because you have given your audience something to view, think about, or discuss.
…
The remedy: Don’t envision yourself speaking for 45 minutes. Instead, soothe your brain and nervous system by persuading them that you only have to get through the next five minutes.
Your audience wants to learn from you. But real learning requires active thought from the learner. So use those early moments of your talk to start them thinking and take some of the pressure off you.

…
Another highly requested benefit is a hybrid work schedule with the ability to work remotely.
