Manage episode 427819457 series 3558665
What if the keys to transforming your legal practice were right at your fingertips but hidden behind mental barriers and poor management skills?
On this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, join Steve as he sits down with Matthew Kaufman, an employment lawyer from Thousand Oaks, California, who shares his journey with Atticus Coaching. Matthew reveals how early financial success masked underlying business issues that came to light during the pandemic. With the help of his coach, Daniel Struna, Matthew dismantled these obstacles and emerged with improved business acumen, better staff management, and a renewed vision for his practice.
Accountability, team check-ins, and efficient client intake systems are more than business jargon—they're the foundation for a thriving law firm. We discuss practical tips for hiring the right staff, leveraging common sense in problem-solving, and balancing work with personal life. You'll learn how simple, actionable ideas can create significant improvements and why persistence is key to building a successful practice.
From time management tools to the power of delegation, we explore strategic growth concepts that can elevate any legal practice. Discover the benefits of the time map and value-of-time worksheet, and hear personal reflections on the challenges and rewards of maintaining a positive work culture.
