Ever received an email from an opposing counsel and felt your chest tighten?
Or dreaded going to court because you knew opposing counsel was going to say or do something you considered unethical or devious?
Just about every lawyer has experienced this.
Not addressing the problem can cause procrastination, rumination, wasting time complaining to people about their behavior, over-drinking, over-eating, and losing sleep over interactions with a single opposing counsel.
We also can’t think as clearly, so simple solutions to problems are harder for our brain to find.
We can begin to think we’re not cut out for the law or litigation and doubt our abilities.
If we don’t know the root cause of these feelings, we can believe it’s the opposing counsel that’s causing them.
That’s a lot of power to give to someone on the other side of counsel table.
In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer Podcast, learn how to handle difficult opposing counsel in a way that puts you in the driver's seat.
 
 

Diagnosing and solving next level problems in your law practice is the difference between feeling overwhelmed and calm.
It's the difference between feeling like you're drowning and enjoying your practice.
But our brains don't automatically see these next level problems and instead diagnose superficial problems.
The next level problem is the biggest domino to make change for you.
In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer Podcast, you'll:
learn why our brains are usually oblivious to the next-level problem learn how to tell the difference between superficial and next-level problems get real-life case studies to see the difference understanding the next-level problem will make in the results you get for your law practice Listen in to think differently about how you strategize your next move in your practice.

This episode is for the lawyer who wants to continuously improve their life.
I'm sharing with you the top ten time and money investments I've made this year, and there's definitely several in here that are easy tweaks to improve your life a bit. And some that can be transformative.
As I reviewed some of my best investments in both time and money this year, I found some unexpected things.
One is that there's a link between the top 10 investments of time and money this year: they all helped me with my sense of well-being and my productivity.
Second, most of the investments I'll share with you have nothing to do with productivity, but they made me more productive anyway.
Why?
They increased the overall quality of my life, which in turn made me more productive. You'll learn why in this episode.
Third, a few of the investments I mention weren't even on my radar as something that could improve my life, but once I spent the time/money for it, it radically transformed an aspect of my life.
Listen in and choose one -- or all! -- of these investments to improve the quality of your life too.

Almost every lawyer wants to know how to be more confident whether it's in the courtroom, on the phone with a client or in negotiations with opposing counsel.
But true confidence isn't what you think.
And to build confidence, it takes understanding your brain and its current habits of thinking before you can rewire it to be more confident.
In this episode you'll discover what it takes to feel truly confident no matter what challenges you're facing in your practice.
You'll learn:
The difference between confidence and self-confidence One of the biggest problems I see with lawyers who want to feel more confident (it's not what you think) An exercise to help you uncover where you can boost your self-confidence and perform more confidently PLUS, I've created a Self-Confidence Playbook that you can download and use hand-in-hand with this episode.
Listen in to become a more confident attorney no matter what area of law you practice.
