Reinventing Your Legal Career Through Coaching

Elise Holtzman left Big Law to raise her children, without a
clear roadmap for what came next. Now she’s a leadership coach
and founder of The Lawyer’s Edge, helping lawyers build
confidence, develop business skills, and grow professionally. In
this episode, Elise shares the mindset shifts that led her from
practicing law to coaching those still in the field.



LAWYER SIDE HUSTLES


What began as a curiosity became a calling. Elise explored
executive coaching and soon realized she could use her background
in law to serve other lawyers. That side interest eventually
became The Lawyer’s Edge, which she now runs full-time, offering
coaching programs, firm-wide trainings, and a popular podcast.
“I didn’t set out to start a business. I set out to help
people,” Elise Holtzman shares in Episode 210 of You Are a Lawyer.

Elise’s story shows how side projects can evolve into
full-fledged careers. By paying attention to what energized her,
and what drained her, she built a business that supports both her
clients and her life. She encourages other lawyers to give
themselves permission to try something new, even if it starts
small.
