Do you struggle with managing your time effectively as a lawyer? Do you feel like there are never enough hours in the day to get everything done? Whether you want to make partner or transition out of the profession entirely, the truth is you won’t achieve your goals unless you know how to effectively use your only finite resource: time.
I’m joined by two returning guests on this week’s show, Adriana Paris and Allison Wolf. Adriana is the author of Rising Lawyer and Director of Professional Development and Legal Recruiting at Rissmann Law. Allison is the founder of The Lawyer Coach and has over 20 years of experience coaching lawyers. They’re here to share how they help other lawyers transform their productivity, and the strategies that actually work.
Tune in this week to learn practical tips and mindset shifts that will help you take control of your time, prioritize what matters most, and thrive both professionally and personally as a lawyer. Adriana and Allison share their insights on common challenges for lawyers, advice that works and advice that doesn’t, as well as what to avoid when it comes to time management.
I have created a group coaching program dedicated to supporting women lawyers, just like you, in your practice and your personal life. I’m going to help you create an even greater impact in your own life, and the lives of those around you. For more information, click here!
