Welcome back to Ascend Legal 101. I'm Ramona and this is the place where we are having hard conversations to help you develop strategies to navigate these changing times by inspiring and empowering you to achieve you personal and professional goals. We're back... when I say we I mean me.  And all of my guests.  Not all of my personalities; although they may show up from time to time. This year my intention is to address the most frequent pain points that you bring to me. While my first inclination is always to hit them head-on, we might have to be nice about it so that's what we'll do. The first and most frequent pain point is the modality in which you'd like to hear from us. It's been really interesting to see people's preferences and what holds their attention.  When we started the Youtube channel many people asked if we would make those conversations available on podcast platforms so we did. When we moved to podcast platforms many people asked if we could...

Teaching old dogs... I mean lawyers... new tricks!

Photo by John Cameron on Unsplash There is a lot of value in this post.  I know you can pull it off - because you have to. One of the most challenging parts of my business these days is  leading "well established" law firms into changing their corporate culture in order to retain and attract staff.  Perhaps its my geographic market? The demographics of my market? I don't really know the reason for the resistance to taking a look at firm or corporate culture and updating it, but it must be done. What I have outlined here will seem elementary to firms with stable structure and progressive firm culture but it needs to be outlined nonetheless. We wouldn't be talking about it if it wasn't a thing. I recognize it can be tricky for lawyers because their focus is on the practice of law and we have been doing things a certain way for a long time.  It is easy to become complacent in an environment where we are not forced to keep up - but now it's game on .   We...

Focus, Focus, Focus

Anyone who has done any training with me will recognize our title today: focus, focus, focus. Usually we're talking about something legal or technical but today let's talk about staying creative and open when we have staffing shortages. How is your focus? Where is it? There are times, like now, when it looks like we have no options. I believe that we always have options. Unless you are hiring for a position that requires a very specific education and skill set, such as aircraft maintenance engineer, pilot, or brain surgeon, you want the right person with the right skills and education. If we're working in another industry that does not require such a specific skill set, then a lot of skill sets can be learned and we can use transferable skills or education to move somebody into another area. We all know that already. Why are we so resistant to it? When I'm with my law firm or corporate clients, I hear a lot of: “Nobody wants to work anymore”. In my opinion, that is no...

Bill Yearwood - Getting It!

Image
The first time I read Bill Yearwood's book "Getting It: Learning from Aviation Accident Investigations" I was in full-on fight-or-flight for at least the first 80 pages. So, I read it again. Once called Marlboro Man for his risk taking in both aviation and auto racing, after assisting friends’ widows, he went to work to set safer standards. Canadian Pilots and AMEs will recognize Bill Yearwood as the definitive accident investigator for the Transportation Safety Board, awarded the Governor General’s citation for his years of dedication to bringing safety considerations for aviation front and centre. Well, here it is now in print from the investigator himself—truly, a text book on learning to stay safe in flight from the volume of data acquired from accident investigations. Bill’s book is titled: Getting It. We suggest that you will start to Get It from the very first page, in fact, we suspect your next walk-around will reflect the message you got from Getting It.
