Life & Law Podcast - Lawyer Podcast For Success In Law & Life

One of the top complaints I hear from attorneys is how isolated they feel. They lack support, and mostly frame that in terms of firm/management support. But when you dig deeper, we usually find that the support they lack (and need most) is peer support.

Join me for a conversation with guest Rachel Clar around why attorney peer support is so crucial for:

--> Your pocket book (she shares a stat that might just blow your mind).
--> Bu...

Ever struggle with how to properly balance between billable vs. nonbillable hours? You need to bill as much as possible so that you can meet your requirements and collect enough. But you can't NOT do nonbillable work (for a variety of reasons). How do you determine where to focus your nonbillable time? When does it make most sense to prioritize nonbillable work over billable work (and does that ever make sense)? And what IS the bes...

Do you ever struggle with how to skillfully manage young attorneys? This is something I hear about often (it's a real struggle for most of my partner and senior counsel clients).

We know that older generations tend to struggle to relate to - and then most effectively lead - younger generations (which is a big reason why leadership coaches like me exist). But is it getting even harder - as most senior ...

Marketing isn't something most lawyers embrace (at least, not immediately). And that's especially the case when it comes to digital marketing.

How often do you wish you had more control... Over your time, your business, your life? If you're like most attorneys, you probably think (or even say) something to that effect daily. What if I told you that this isn't really what you want? Because control is based in fear (and also, is a lot of work). Listen to today's episode to discover why letting go of control is THE foundational answer to getting to the place you want to be.

For most lawyers, the practice of law is all-encompassing. Which is why so many lawyers suffer from higher-than-average rates of stress, anxiety, burnout and depression. The good news? It doesn't have to be this way. Join me for an insightful discussion with licensed counselor (and attorney) Bena Stock. Inside today's episode you'll learn how to overcome this all-encompassing nature (hint: it starts from within your own mind).
