Attorney, Coach, Meditation Instructor

Hi, I’m Kim Milone, a licensed lawyer who fell into a series of non-traditional, alternative legal jobs after graduating from law school 25 years ago. My mind (and some people closest to me then) told me that I had to be a traditional practicing big-law attorney or else I wasn't a "real" lawyer.

I had no idea that through a series of serendipitous events and, frankly, some real heartbreaks, that I would cultivate an amazing non-traditional legal career for myself that started in the courtroom and led me to a tech startup, to in house counsel and ultimately to the C-Suite and beyond.

I am also a long time student and practitioner of meditation. But for my meditation practice, I don't think I would have come so far or to the realizations that I did regarding my legal career.

Now I have the privilege of helping my fellow lawyers, JDs and law students discover that there are non-traditional, alternative legal careers that could be a great fit for them .... and that these are simply legal careers they can choose with intention and with pride - instead of falling into them or waiting on serendipity to strike.

The addition of mindfulness meditation is a powerful compliment to intentional thinking. The framework of Courses +  Coaching + Destination Retreats that I have developed leverage mindfulness based meditation + intentional thinking.

You don't have to choose heart over brain; it takes both. I hope that you will join me on this journey.
