Baker McKenzie Belgium’s Post

In the immortal words of Bon Jovi - “Woah, we’re halfway there…” Halfway through my secondment with Poppyscotland and what a four months it has been. Over those months, there have been many, many, many day… I’ve distilled them into one of the five different types. 1️⃣ a school day: with new areas of IG to learn about (enjoying raffles and regular giving), and reshaping my love of legacies. New techniques for DM, and different ways of working. 2️⃣ a planning day: planning my time to ensure that I can fit it all that is important, and moving aside the bits which I have absolutely ability to change or impact. 3️⃣ a reflection day: talking with those in my network about what I’ve learned, what’s gone well, what hasn’t, and what would I do differently next time… 4️⃣ a prioritising day: understanding that my priorities, really aren’t everyone else’s priorities, and that their priorities really aren’t mine too. With a little caring and sharing still gets the job done! 5️⃣ a “not today Satan” day. Enough said. I’m looking forward to a few more types of days, as I move into months 5, 6, 7 and 8 - there’s a another song on there somewhere….

I know LinkedIn is generally a place for more serious, professional things, but I do want to take a moment to share this piece about Scav, one of my favorite UChicago traditions! I was brought on board as a Judge this year and, in a webmaster position, rewrote the whole Scav website in autumn 2022 for a winter 2023 launch. The new website is cleaner and much more user-friendly on the back end, and I’m still able to work some HTML magic to add fun easter eggs throughout the site. Read more about my experience as a Judge in this article!

Do you remember your first day at work? No I don’t either... But it is time for another Weightmans early careers assessment day. That day when us grown up competent “professional” adults are shown up by the legal stars of the future…. And also the day when they make us line up for awkward photos in reception looking like it’s our first day 📸 Megan Melia Marc Prats Katy Moore Siobhan Jesson Denise Wright #lawyerlife #lawcareers #earlycareers #lawjobs #iveneverlookedsokeen
