In this weekâs episode, I delve into what is perhaps the number one challenge law firm owners face when they are attempting to transition from solo attorney to CEO of a law firm business, and that is cultivating a high-performing legal team.
Once we overcome the fear of hiring that first associate attorneyâwhich is a huge obstacle in and of itself for most solosâwe often are then faced with what it REALLY means to cultivate, train, and manage a multi-person legal team including attorneys, paralegals, and legal administrators.
The transition from a solo lawyer or boss of one or two staffers is drastically different from leading a legal team. And most law firm owners are not only NOT prepared for the transition, but also have no idea whatâs coming.
Listen in as I share:
15 challenges law firm owners face when attempting to hire, train, retain and grow a high-performing team (or any team).Why I think itâs important you begin thinking about these challenges before you even have a big team.5 âmindset shortcutsâ I use and teach my clients that help to overcome overwhelm and fear around cultivating a right-fit team.One way you can get help to grow your right-fit team faster.And much more!Links to Love:

Recently, I was having a conversation with another woman lawyer about marketing options for small law firms, and she shared with me that she did not like seeing herself on video, so it was hard to imagine she would create reels on Instagram or videos for TikTok.
I totally understood! I do not love either seeing myself on video or hearing my recorded voice. And I know we are not alone. It comes up frequently in conversations with other women law firm owners of a certain age!
In this culture where women appear to be valued for youth and beauty, it takes confidence and strong self-esteem to put yourself out there if you think you have passed some kind of imaginary expiration date.
Comparison-it is on social media is not reserved just for people in their teens and 20s. Even those of us with lots of emotional management tools in our toolboxes can get caught up in comparing ourselves and our lives with what we see in our social feeds.
I can tell you all day, every day, that other people are not judging you nearly as hard as you judge yourself, but if you hate being on video, you likely will not really care.
So, I wanted to reassure you that there are other options for marketing your law firm besides becoming an Instagram or TikTok influencer. You donât have to dance for your supper if the mere thought makes you feel a little sick.
Listen in to hear about five marketing tactics you can start using today to grow your law firm business.

Youâd think by now after being an attorney and business owner for almost two decades, I would know what Iâm about to share with you today. But the one thing I know about life as an entrepreneur and business owner is that there are ALWAYS lessons to be learned. As Abraham Hicks says: âYou will never get it done, and you can never get it wrong.â
Why? Because, as human beings, we are always receiving new information and transforming how we think and behave based on that informationâyes, even those of us we wouldnât think ever change are always changing.
Listen in as I share the ah-ha moment I had this week. It surprised me and it may surprise you. If you are a high-achieving woman like me, it may be this is exactly what you need to hear.
