Last week, I had the privilege of speaking to a group of family law practitioners at the Idaho State Bar Conference in Idaho Falls. It was a terrific trip, and I truly enjoyed getting to know some Idaho lawyers (who are very likely the friendliest people I’ve ever met).
My talk, “15 Ways to Take Your Practice to the Next Level,” was a slightly updated version of my presentation to the ABA Family Law Section in New Orleans in April.
I really enjoy delivering this program because it’s packed with practical ideas for dealing with the new environment in which we’re all practicing. I get excited by the innovative concepts, but I also love talking about things you can do in your practice to make changes immediately. This program lets me wear my futurist hat simultaneously with my presentist hat.
On the flight back to North Carolina, I reflected on how much fun I have speaking to family law and small firm practitioners. I never leave without making a new friend and stealing a good idea or two. I’d like to do even more speaking.
In addition to “15 Ways to Take Your Practice to the Next Level,” I’ve pretty much nailed a program on “Essential Technology Tools for Family Law” and one called “Marketing Your Family Law Practice in the New World.” Confidentially, I’ll confess that I have the most fun with the marketing programs (probably because I vigorously challenge the old ideas of some in the crowd and I kind of enjoy the conflict). The technology programs are fun as well, and I’ve been doing the “60 Tips in 60 Minutes” program about once a month (and three times in August). We’ve now developed a special version of “60 Tips” for paralegals (who laugh about twice as much as lawyers–what’s with that?).
So where am I going with this? I just want you to know that I’m ready, willing, and able to come talk to your group when the need arises. Shoot me a message via the contact form here in the site, and we’ll see whether we can work something out. Keep me in mind when the topic of finding a speaker comes up.
Remember, I’m a bargain as a speaker because, since I shaved my head, I’ve eliminated haircuts (which can be expensive for lawyers in North Carolina), so I’ve reduced my overhead (pardon the pun) and can pass those savings along to your bar association or firm.
