Our Story
Attavita means "compass" in Icelandic.
Founder, Gina Sauer, J.D., was inspired to form Attavita while hiking in Iceland, a land of glaciers and black sand beaches whose unique terrain is unlike any other. The world of law careers is unique too, so you need someone who speaks the language of lawyers and legal employers to guide you. Fortunately, we know our way around law careers.
But that's not all we do. Although Attavita was born from a passion for helping lawyers achieve their career goals, along the way we've expanded our services and developed a unique niche: helping business professionals of all kinds advance in their career by improving their public speaking skills.
If you're a legal employer, we'll help you manage and maximize your legal talent with training, coaching, outplacement, and more. Learn more about our services for legal employers.
If you're a lawyer, we'll give you a road map to advance in the job you’re in or find a new one, in the traditional practice of law or an alternative legal career. Learn more about our services for lawyers/job seekers.
If you're a team leader whose professional staff is ready to take their presentation skills to a higher level, we'll help them get there. Learn more about our public speaker training for all professionals.
