Why is "Vision"—a somewhat nebulous term and often misunderstood concept—so critical for attorneys looking to further their careers (whether in law or outside of it)? Bob Levant, an accomplished trial attorney who is earning his master’s degree in mental health counseling to further his own career as coach to enterprising attorneys, joins the show to discuss why long-term success always starts with a clear definition of vision and why, without one, an attorney's work can be mired in mundanity or, worse, become dispiriting and demotivating.

• What is Vision, and why is it different from strategy or planning?

• How does one develop a compelling, inspiring, motivating and clarifying Vision?

• What are the steps lawyers should take to convert Vision into Action?

• What if a lawyer's vision points them outside the practice of law?
