The Creative Lawyer // Salome Coker - Lawyer, Artist + Entrepreneur

Episode Summary

I chat with Salome Coker aka The Creative Lawyer, who wears many hats including that of a finance lawyer, photographer, artist and creative entrepreneur. To me, she doesn't just wear them she owns wearing them! For years Salome struggled to reconcile the two; creativity + law but now Salome recognises that she doesn't haven't to choose one to be successful, in fact, her success is derived from her multi-faceted way of living and working. I admire her journey from the traditional legal path at a Magic Circle law firm to a way of life which embodies Creative Living, as Salome lovingly calls it. Tune in to find out more....

Episode Notes

I was inspired by this conversation with Salome Coker to nurture and embrace more of my creative side and I know you will be too. I know you might be thinking that being 'creative' only means picking up a paint brush, you're probably only applying that narrow traditional view - there's much more to it and Salome takes us through what Creative Living really means.

Salome is the wearer of many hats including a finance lawyer, photographer, artist and creative entrepreneur aka The Creative Lawyer.  Her goal is to build a lifestyle that encompasses all of these things as Salome recognises that she doesn't have to choose one to be successful, but that her success derives from the unique way that she combines the multi-faceted aspects of herself. Virtual hi-5 to that!

For many years she has navigated the world of law and finance whilst trying to develop her creative confidence and abilities. It was via a self-funded sabbatical in 2016 that enabled her to re-discover her creativity and creative confidence coupled with a strong conviction that she is more than a lawyer.
