At the same time, Lee is emerging as an evangelist for wellbeing within academia and the second edition of her book will proactively give students access to preventative tools to reduce stress and mitigate the early stages of burn-out. Pivot, explore, reinvent and repeat. These mavericks are just getting started on their second careers and all have reinvented themselves in their own ways as what some would describe as middle age, even though, my guess is that they would all reject that label. Moon is added a new coaching element to her career portfolio, experimenting with using the Delta Model to do so. Carrel is expanding her evangelism to focus on the Delta Model, which is a research-backed lawyer and allied professional competency model outlining skills necessary to successful in legal industry within the 21st century,and spurring new ways to apply it in an academic setting. Reid is in the early stages of her legal career embarking on the journey in her mid-50s. Similarly, Lee is centering her efforts on updating her book to transform the legal profession by adding new information and continuing to look at business of law topic from a wider lens. Moreover, these women's next big audacious goals are a demonstration that they have many years of rebellion in them. "My goal is for all lawyers to operate at their best as their highest self and at peak performance and for empowered legal education institutions to be at the center of the journey through self-awareness and teaching the Delta Model skills and competencies that will enable them to do so," notes Moon. Carrel desires for legal educators to embrace innovation as a process, rather than thinking of it as a technolo, and that collaborative problem-solving within the law school and practice is powerful. To accomplish this, she is going to continue her role as a champion for human-center design and multi-perspective problem solving via people. Reid plans to continue her non-traditional career path by using her legal expertise and love of technolo to assist underserved families. She went to law school with this intention and seeks to carry it out after she graduates in December 2020. Finally, Lee hopes to dig even deeper into the well- being and diversity and inclusion pieces of the business of law picture, because of her belief that they should be the pieces that the other pieces fall in line with. She wishes to pursue projects that will help operationalize her vision of law schools and the legal profession investing even more fully and collaboratively in diversity pipeline initiatives beginning with primary school, and of legal educators "working at the forefront of a well-being transformation in legal that may very well involve a form of re-invention of legal education and law practice." Max McKeown, an English writer, consultant, and researcher specializing in innovation strate, leadership and culture with Warwick Business School, stated, "Innovation is deviance which means that the rebellious personality is a natural resource for practical creativity… One of the most powerful sources of newness is the rebel or maverick, mind." I don't think I could have described Moon, Reid, Carrel and Lee better myself.
