Overview

Prepare to Win: A Lawyer's Guide to Rainmaking, Career Success and Life Fulfillment expands on the principles in Say Ciao to Chow Mein: Conquering Career Burnout and Rising Star: The Making of a Rainmaker in a non-fiction setting.

You can be a rainmaker. How?

In Prepare to Win, Cordell Parvin teaches young lawyers in small and large firms how to become rainmakers by taking responsibility for their careers. Often, lawyers are so overwhelmed with the pressures to meet billable hour quotas that they are as frazzled as Lucy and Ethel at the chocolate factory. The famous redhead and her landlord neighbor lasted less than a day under their high-stress work conditions. Many lawyers leave their firms—or the law profession— as soon as they pay off their student loans. Prepare to Win endeavors to reverse this unfortunate trend by teaching lawyers how to become the architects of their careers, and it gives them a blueprint to successful achievement of their aspirations.

"Cordell Parvin has written Prepare to Win to share the experience that has made him one of the most successful construction lawyers and sought-after client development coaches and mentors in the country. Mr. Parvin teaches what he has practiced for thirty-five years:

• Focused goals are critical to a lawyer’s success;
• Goals are more easily achieved when they align with passion, purpose and core values;
• Provide value to a client, and the money will follow; and
• Emotional intelligence is more important than grades and exam scores in predicting success.

Meet the Author

Cordell Parvin is among the nation's most widely known and respected transportation construction lawyers. With thirty-seven years of experience, he has established himself within his field as a rainmaker, instructor, and career coach. Cordell is passionate about teaching young lawyers. He works with them individually and seeks to inspire them based on their specific career goals. His enthusiasm for helping firms and lawyers achieve greater success prompted him to leave Jenkens & Gilchrist in January 2005 to open a consulting practice. He continues to practice construction law, frequently representing the nation's leading contractors. Cordell earned his law degree from the University of Richmond and his Bachelor's degree from Virginia Tech. He is a member of the American Bar Association, the Texas State Bar Association, the Virginia State Bar Association, Associated General Contractors of Texas, the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, and the American Arbitration Association. Cordell makes his home in Dallas with Nancy, his wife of thirty-six years and greatest supporter. Nancy is an avid golfer who started playing when she was forty years old and now has a handicap of one. She plays in tournaments in Texas and across the United States. While Cordell is proud of the work he has done for clients and, more recently, for lawyers, law firms, and law students, he is most proud of his daughter, Jill, who follows her passion and teaches middle-school students.
