We've got so much for you today. Join Tracey and I as we walk through how a cancer diagnosis triggered her transformational journey through law to finance to coaching. Propelled by her fascination with human nature and organizational culture we discus coaching, making course corrections, developing leaders from disempowered employees, team coaching, executive coaching, creating corporate change, coaching through strategic planning, and creative conflict.

Tracey Burns who holds a Master Certified Coach credential granted by the International Coach Federation, is a Coaching Supervisor and is certified in Trauma Informed Practice. She has written and delivered a series of transformational programs over her 17+ years experience including The Bomb Proof Executive and Creative Conflict written specifically for individuals and teams to harness the power of crisis and conflict and stimulate innovation and creativity. Her coaching method is ontologically based, a cutting-edge approach that encompasses an understanding of how our thoughts, physiology and use of language impacts our world. Tracey works with extraordinary entrepreneurs up to cool things in life; Entrepreneurs who tend to self-identify as adorable weirdos, fringe dwellers, pioneers, the outliers, the rebels, the innovators and creators of wild and brilliant ideas.

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...

"No Fault" Insurance in British Columbia - UPDATE

-
Image
As a survivor of a very serious car accident, lawyer Lorenzo Oss-Cech knows the importance of focused client care and sound legal advice. Join us today as we look at recent developments and case law regarding the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia’s Enhanced Care system (or no fault system). This system was designed to increase client care and remove legal fees and other costs associated with motor vehicle accident claims decreasing costs to drivers. It also removed an individual’s right to sue and some think that puts injured and vulnerable people at risk. Whatever side you take, this is a quickly developing story that will be interesting to watch. Here is the link to the Notice of Civil Claim for T imothy Schober and Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia v. the Attorney General of British Columbia. Lorenzo Oss-Cech is a partner with the firm Hutchison Oss-Cech Marlatt. Lorenzo has 30 years experience in brain injury settlements, general civil litigation, ICBC injur...
