A “Lady Lawyer’s” Guide to Finding Peace and Happiness Amid the Chaos

Back in the 1970s, women bragged that they could “bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan.” Thirty years later, it has turned out that balancing work and home life just isn’t as easy as those commercials promised. Now that most women work outside the home, every member of the family finds that life seems to get busier and more complicated every day.

Everybody is looking for help on balancing the demands of career, family and self. In her twenty plus years as a lawyer and mother, Lisa Sommer Devlin has learned that we all have to build our own happiness every day. Instead of waiting for the “big event,” like graduating, getting married, or having that baby to make our life complete we need to adopt strategies for finding balance and joy each day. It is the small things that we do that leads to happiness, not the big things. 

Lisa’s fun, funny and personal presentation is based not only on lessons she has learned from her own experience, but also on cases and clients she has worked with, from the funny to the tragic. Her stories provide the audience with easy to use, real life strategies for balancing personal and professional life, insights on how adjusting your outlook and expectations can lead to a happier existence and how following time tested ethical rules can be the key to personal and professional success.
