On April 13, 2013 we hosted a conference called Catapult 2013: Tools for a 21st Century Legal Career.
Our first panel at Catapult 2013 was called: How I Did It and What I Learned Along the Way. We were joined by fabulous panelists who shared their personal stories that inspired the crowd.

Most of you reading this have a Facebook page. I have a Facebook page. I was kind of late to the Facebook game and didn’t join until about 2009. When I joined Facebook, a lot of my friends from work at my law firm invited me to be “friends.” Why not, right? They were my work friends. And I continued to accept friend requests from a lot of different folks. 
Have you Googled yourself lately? If you haven’t, go ahead and open another window and type in your name. I just Googled myself, as well. You want to know what comes up? A photographer (not me), my website for my business, my LinkedIn profile, then some links to a guitarist who also shares my name. Not bad really. If someone was looking for Lee Burgess in the legal field, he/she could find me. But more important than that, there is nothing there that I don’t want others to see.
