"Successful lawyers know what winning endurance athletes know. Dedication and hard work will only take you so far. Even if you love what you are doing, if you listen only to your own advice, you will never reach your potential. To rise above your personal limitations, you need the perspective and encouragement of a coach. So, if your endurance sport is the practice of law, you should hire Ed Poll. With his help, you will surprise yourself with what you can achieve."

"Like many people nowadays, I am bombarded with distractions clamoring for my attention. Amidst all the clamor, I am always happy to receive another of your emails. You always express a great deal of common sense. I also particularly appreciate the underlying tone of decency, by which I mean that the subtext of much of what you write is that it's better to be a good person and mediocre lawyer than the other way around. Of course one may be both a good person and a good lawyer, but in an Internet of narcissists and a profession filled with jaded cynics, it is comforting to learn that some senior colleagues are conscious of the greater impact their work has on the world around them."
