Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Lawyers Struggle with Business Development and How to Fix It
Q: What does 'Be That Lawyer' mean for the audience?
It means becoming a role model within the profession who not only delivers excellent legal work but also proactively builds and sustains a thriving practice, showing others that it's possible to have both high performance and balance.
Why Lawyers Struggle with Business Development and How to Fix It
Q: What inspired you to focus on lawyers and business development?
It started with observing how lawyers were impacted by the 2008 recession and realizing they needed practical, ongoing guidance to build a book of business, not just knowledge of the law. My own transition into coaching and the realization that many lawyers lack systematic, repeatable approaches became the core driver.
Personal Branding and Thought Leadership for Lawyers
Q: How can lawyers start building visibility without feeling inauthentic?
Identify authentic passions and strengths, share content that educates or entertains your target audience, and choose formats and channels that fit who you are—consistently show up in a way that aligns with your true self.
Personal Branding and Thought Leadership for Lawyers
Q: What exactly is a personal brand for an attorney?
A personal brand is being recognized as the go-to expert in a specific area, so clients think of you first when they need help, regardless of firm affiliation, and you establish credibility through consistent, value-driven content and meaningful relationships.
Calendar Design for Growth: Structuring Your Week for Business Development
Q: What are the top two changes a lawyer can make tomorrow to start moving toward more growth-focused work?
Two practical steps: (1) itemize and take inventory of the day to identify tasks that can be delegated or offloaded to a VA, freeing up time for business development; (2) carve out a regular, protected time for BD—treat it like a critical appointment and keep it consistent.
