#98: Bonus Episode - Get Clear on Your Vision Dec 25, 2018

Show notes

Even though it's Christmas week, I know that so many people like to plan for the New Year, so I wanted to share this bonus episode with you today. It's all about getting clear on your vision for 2019 by creating a vision board. As you'll hear, my approach is different than how most do it so be sure to give it a listen.

If you're looking for support on planning and you missed the recent Planning Extravaganza last week, you can still go through the exercises on your own. To access the videos and worksheets for free, all you have to is go to http://planningextravaganza.com/. Happy Holidays and I'll see you in 2019!

Things you will learn in this episode:

• How a vision board can give you clarity for the future (and even act as a predictor of it)

• Why the magazines you use really won't matter and what to look for when reviewing the materials

• What supplies you'll need and how long the process will take

• How to decide on what to include on your board and what to leave out

• How and where to display your vision board and why this is so important!

#96: Setting Your 2019 Goals Dec 11, 2018

Show notes

This may be my favorite episode of the entire year because I'm talking about something I absolutely love – goals! I always get excited when I plan for the New Year and, today, I'm going to help you set the right goals for 2019.

Things you will learn in this episode:

The very first step to take in preparing for the New Year (and where many people go wrong)
Why the New Year shouldn't be about changing who you are
When to focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses

What happens when we set our goals based on "shoulds" instead of "wants"
Why it's important to create a plan that takes into account the big picture as well as the small details

I'm also sharing all the details of the free Planner Extravaganza that I'm hosting December 17-20.

#95: Compensation Prep for BigLaw Partners Dec 04, 2018

Show notes

If you're a partner in a large firm (or perhaps even a medium sized firm), there's likely an entire process you have to follow each year for your partner compensation and equity credits. Regardless of your firm's process, it's important that you plan ahead and play an active role. Being prepared will give you the best opportunity to get compensated fairly and avoid leaving money on the table.

Topics I'm covering in this episode:

Compensation systems and the effect it has on firm culture and lawyer well-being
Why it's important to know your firm's formal and informal compensation process
How building relationships with key decision makers can make all the difference
What numbers you should be focusing on and how to back them up for the greatest impact
Yes, implicit bias is real, so you need to be proactive (yet subtle) in combatting it!

#92: Freedom to Shape Your Future Nov 13, 2018

Show notes

As you're looking to 2019, do you believe you have the freedom to shape your future or do you think you have limited options given your specific situation? The truth is that we have a great deal of freedom. Most of us simply don't want to make difficult decisions. Today, I'm sharing the process I used to plan for 2019, which will provide some behind-the-scenes insight as to what's next for me (including the difficult decision to narrow my services) as well as some inspiration as you shape your future.

What I'm covering in this episode:

A personal update to follow-up on my Walking the Walk episode
Why I believe you do have the freedom to shape your own future
What I have decided will be my focus for 2019 (and what I'm letting go of...)
How I intend to better serve my clients at a higher level next year
How you can work with me next year if you're ready to go all in and reach some epic goals in 2019

#91: Dealing with Negative Feedback Nov 06, 2018

Show notes

Do you shrug off negative feedback or take it personally? There can be a tendency to do both, but it's most helpful when we can learn to process negative feedback in a more neutral way.

Here's what I'm discussing today:

My own personal experience and thought process related to a few recent negative reviews
The reasons you should be asking for reviews and testimonials and what this will do for your business or career
Why criticism is always a good learning opportunity, even if you believe the feedback is unfair
How to reframe feedback so that it helps you improve and grow
