Pursuing Law Through the NCA Process with Lais Gomes
Pursuing Law Through the NCA Process with Lais Gomes
The application process can often feel like a challenging puzzle, especially when your situation or background isn’t typical. Sometimes, the process can unearth painful memories or trauma. The full range of our experiences make up who we are, but how should we present them in our applications?
Crafting Your Narrative: Balancing Authenticity, Vulnerability, and Self Care
In this episode, I sit down with one of our fantastic clients, Lais, who has made some major life changes since moving to Canada from Brazil in 2019. Our thoughtful conversation explores her journey from practicing law to serving in the nonprofit sector — and how we’ve been helping her find her way back into the legal world. Lais shares her experience of putting together the pieces of the application process puzzle and reshaping her career trajectory after a long absence from her field.
You’ll discover:
- The decision-making process that helped Lais clarify her goals and discover her path to a career that she finds meaningful, nourishing, and inspiring
- How she wove together the threads of all of her experiences, goals, and values into a vivid and cohesive narrative that reflects her unique journey and talents
- How the application process can cause us to face things in our lives that we haven’t fully dealt with yet — and how this can lead to transformational shifts in the way that we want to live and serve
- How coaching helped her gain confidence in her ability to showcase her skills and communicate the value of her experiences
