What I Do
YOU, LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, ARE QUESTIONING YOUR ENTIRE WORK/LIFE BALANCE AND FINDING THAT IT IS IN REALITY WOEFULLY OUT OF BALANCE
Personal relationships, physical fitness, emotional and perhaps spiritual well-being are diminished or ignored due to the demands of your profession. You may even be struggling to meet your professional objectives as well.
Your first reaction is that there just isn’t enough time to make your billable hours plus everything else, and of course you are right. There is not enough time … the way you are doing things today…read more
Who I Work With
I WORK WITH LAWYERS, DOCTORS AND C LEVEL PROFESSIONALS JUST LIKE YOU, WHO ARE QUESTIONING THEIR ENTIRE WORK/LIFE BALANCE AND FINDING THAT THERE IS IN FACT LITTLE BALANCE AT ALL.
You are motivated, smart and intelligent (smart and intelligent are not the same) and have undeniable skills in your profession. We all like people like you, but it is likely that despite outward appearances, you are not achieving all you need and want to achieve despite putting in more and more effort at work.
So I ask, are you at the point where you are uncomfortably aware that your life is not everything it could be? Are you also beginning to realise that you cannot thrive in a one-dimensional existence focussed heavily on billable hours? You may, like many others, be feeling guilt and losing sleep over neglected relationships with your life partner, children, parents and friends while working harder and harder at your job. If that is the case you are probably making unhealthy choices about your mental and physical well-being, too.
You may not yet fully realise that all aspects of your life must be in balance to be successful but if you are at that point of awareness or close to it, you are the type of person I like to work with…read more
Jennifer's Story
This is less a traditional testimonial than it is a story. It is the story of the truly remarkable changes in my life, flowing out of a happenstance crossing of paths with JP Roszell.
My name is Jennifer, and I am a single parent and personal injury lawyer. I am smart, aggressive, stubborn, and motivated. Those qualities are generally accepted as prerequisites for success in my profession. And I have been successful, by conventional measures. However, I have always felt that something was missing, even though I could not quite identify it. Like my peers, I worked long hours including most weekends. I was pushed and pulled every day, unable to truly identify (let alone focus on) what mattered. I believed that the incessant phone calls, emails, and other unpredictable and unmanageable happenings were simply part of running a busy legal practice. The constant interruptions inevitably led to more hours and more stress, both of which many lawyers wear as badges of honour.
I began to wonder about the incessant pace and, I admit, whether something was amiss. When my school aged son told me that he used to wait for me to come home from work, but then gave up, my heart broke. Even though I have been told that “This is the profession”, I knew that he needed and deserved more from me, and that I needed and deserved more from myself. So, unsure of what assistance he could possibly offer, I reached out to JP. I am so happy that I did…read more
How I Learned the Secrets...
to Getting More Done With Less Effort
THE BELIEF HELD BY MANY PROFESSIONALS, INCLUDING LAWYERS, THAT THEIR DESIGNATION SETS THEM APART IS A NARROW PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE THAT IN MANY CASES PREVENTS THEM FROM ACCEPTING THAT THEIR FORMAL SCHOOLING IS LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT THEY REALLY NEED TO KNOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
As a result, what they do achieve is far more difficult than it needs to be and limits their capacity to expand their horizons…read more
JP's bio
I HAVE HELD AN ALL-ENCOMPASSING INTEREST THROUGHOUT MY CAREER IN DISCOVERING NOT ONLY WHY, BUT HOW CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE CONSPICUOUSLY SUCCESSFUL … AND WHY OTHERS ARE NOT.
My observations allowed me to build successful teams but more importantly led me to develop tried and true methods to guide individuals to succeed and improve all aspects of their lives, not simply their careers.
I have been described as a dynamic, innovative leader and have managed companies ranging in size from a start-up to becoming president/CEO of a billion-dollar corporation. These companies spanned six continents, giving me exposure to many cultures. Closer to home, I have been privileged to speak at events hosted by CIDA, EDC, and various export fora across Canada…read more
