Mentors.
It’s interesting the specific memories that stick in your head and come back unexpectedly. Sitting in my office, on a Saturday, deadly-quiet, catching up from a busy week and getting ready for the next one, wishing I was outside. A very specific conversation from 35 years ago pops into my head. I was young lawyer, working hard, but still struggling to keep up with a heavy workload. Dick Lynn, a fine San Diego trial lawyer, then my boss, later my partner, and a real mentor to me (not sure he knows that, but true) saw I was struggling, and comes into my office. He didn’t give me some long speech, or criticize my efforts, or tell me I needed to work harder, or that I needed to be more efficient, …. He just said, “sometimes you just need to work a Saturday to keep up”. Good, simple, advice. That very small event and simple advice are stuck in my head, as clear as day, from 35 years ago. Amazing
