Gary Miles
About this episode

How do you transition from a terrified young lawyer to a confident legal professional?


Gary Miles shares some of the top struggles of the legal profession, including high rates of psychological distress, loneliness, and the pressure of perfectionism. His transformation was not due to toughness or brilliance but to the guidance of mentors who believed in him. Gary explores various forms of mentorship, from formal coaching to natural peer relationships.


A mentor's gift is the ability to help you see failure as an experience, give you permission to be human, and provide a safe space to share your fears. This episode offers a powerful message about the importance of community and support in building a successful legal career.
