Beyond Goal-Setting: Getting Results with Goal-Achieving
If you have no goals, you have no direction in building your practice. If you don’t know what to do with goals once they are set, you’ll never reach them. You’ll waste time and energy trying to get from A to Z, and projects won’t be completed or will be done haphazardly. Find out how to make the journey to your ideal practice fruitful and fulfilling with my simple goal setting and project completion methods.
Time Management: Getting the Most Out of Every Day
Your time is money, so you need to spend it on the tasks that build your practice, serve your clients, and enrich your life instead of watching the sands of time slip down through the hourglass. You can learn to increase your productivity with my time management tips and techniques. Plus, you’ll also get the added benefit of increased confidence and sense of accomplishment as you learn how to get more in the same amount of time …or less!
Rainmaking the Right Way: Building Your Law Practice Without Ethical Missteps
How do you become a rainmaker in your legal practice? Let me show you how to create your presence, build your reputation, and sustain your practice for years to come. You’ll learn how to create a clear path to your door for new clients and strengthen your relationships with existing clients—and never have a drought in work.
Emotional Health: Your Law Practice and Your Emotional Health
The statistics are alarming; the number of attorneys with depression, alcoholism, or other mental health problems is staggering compared to other professions. What is happening to us? What can we do to prevent emotional and mental health challenges in a profession known for its high stress and demands? Learn some coping mechanisms that you can start using right away to lighten your step and brighten your outlook, even on the toughest days.
Self-Nurture: Taking Care of Yourself, Taking Care of Your Practice
Where are you on your to-do list? If you’re at the bottom, or not even on your list at all, you’re taking care of everything and everyone else first. One of the greatest challenges is learning to nurture your own physical, emotional and spiritual needs for your own well-being. Although it sounds counter-intuitive, when you learn to make yourself a priority, you’ll be more effective, efficient, and capable in serving your clients and building your practice.
21st Century Leadership: Beyond Being “In Charge”
There are many effective leadership styles, but there isn’t one golden approach that will work for every person or every situation. Learn what type of person makes a good leader, what a good leader does, and the different leadership styles. You’ll know how to adapt to the different situations you’ll encounter using your strengths, and the strengths of others. Learn how to become a leader in your firm, your community and your own life.
Beyond Balance: How to Make a Build a Thriving Practice While Loving Your Life
Work-life integration means finding a way to blend your work with your life so they are meaningful to you. But both are demanding more and more of your time, so how can you find a balance that gives the competing needs justice? Getting your priorities clear is the most essential step, and I’ll take you beyond that to teach you how to get the maximum amount of satisfaction from a well-integrated life – including both a successful practice and a fulfilling personal life.
Words and Actions: How to Communicate for Results in Your Practice
The main goals of communication are to inform, request an action, persuade, and build relationships. You already know you can communicate orally, in writing, with body language, and by listening; however, the way you go about it is even more vital. You’ll learn the most effective method of getting your message across: the ability to express both positive and negative ideas in an honest and direct way, while maintaining respect for others—the ultimate communication skill for attorneys!
Full-Day CLE Opportunity for Women
It’s rare when women have the opportunity to come together with other women and focus on the unique issues facing them in their law practice. Imagine meeting with an intimate group of women who have the same challenges and concerns … arming yourself with a toolbox of new tips, tools, and strategies for law practice success, sharing ideas, camaraderie, and laughter… and coming away with a feeling of know-how, direction, rejuvenation, empowerment, and support.
