Powerhouse Lawyers Erin Gerner

Welcome back to Powerhouse Lawyers! I’m so excited to introduce you to Keeley Blanchard, the legal storyteller! [05:14] Keeley shares her insights on how apparently there is a brain science to storytelling and the key to successful litigation is creating a villain for your client! [15:29] You know how you call your husband or girlfriend to tell them about your day on the car ride home. Notice how, even though it happened in the past, you’re sharing the story as though it’s happening right now. Present tense story telling is your not-so-secret weapon. [19:10] Then, Keeley reminds us that we are in fact not a robot lawyer. Share your personality because new flash, you’re a person! [23:30] Before we get to our Legally Blonde moment [38:49], Keeley shares more about the woman inside the lawyer suit. Single mamas, my heart goes out to you! You’re doing better than you think!

How a 30-day LinkedIn Challenge Turned Into a Full-Time BusinessThis week on Powerhouse Lawyers, we connect with Laura Frederick of HowtoContract.com [06:09] From substitute teacher to attorney turned attorney-entrepreneur, Laura shares her story of how she used her skills as a lawyer to get creative and serve our community. So how exactly is contract writing creative [17:58] and did she mean to create a raving community around the training? [23:42] Contract writing is super intimidating, even to us lawyers – the ones looking at them all day long! Laura’s training sessions remind us to trust our understanding because you know what you know. But sometimes you just need a little validation and that’s okay, too! [26:22] Then we get into Laura’s Contract Con and why exactly Cleopatra is teaching us about how to navigate contract writing! [35:20] We end off on a Legally Blonde Moment! I guess we have a new answer to why the chicken crossed the road, now? [48:57]__________Mentioned in this Episode

This week on the Powerhouse Lawyers podcast we have one of our very own! Elizabeth Milian is an Intellectual Property attorney [06:19] She shares her journey into law having only started law school at 30 years old. Elizabeth attributes her success and go-getter attitude largely to community and coaching. Can I just go on record saying I told y’all so?! In fact, she and her husband took the leap into firm ownership just last year because when you see what’s possible, you get to work. The transition [16:28] was a little bit of a rollercoaster, but again through coaching and connecting with other like minded professionals, Elizabeth has eased her way into this new version of leadership. Not to mention still handling being a mama! Her greatest advice for herself and other lawyers just starting out: don’t rush. [33:39] Before we get into Elizabeth’s Legally Blonde moment [46:05], she offers some tangible tips for more established lawyers that are looking to pivot in their career and take the plunge into something new. [42:35]

This week on the Powerhouse Lawyers podcast, I connected with guest Drew Amoroso! [06:05] Lawyer turned innovator for legal professional development. Like so many of us, Drew’s story isn’t without overcoming a massive identity shift [13:07]. As lawyers we tend to wrap our entire being around our profession. Drew shares some of his practical steps to help in his identity transition. Believe it or not, therapy played a huge role in his growth [20:50] along with something called Emotional Freedom Technique. It was this personal growth that helped Drew launch Due Course [27:00]. Due Course is revolutionizing the way we practice, especially for first-year lawyers [35:12]. If you didn’t know, we are change makers [46:00] lawyers are increasingly being positioned as leaders and community builders. Finally, we finish up with Drew’s Legally Blonde moment. [50:15] Dolly Parton, I think we’ve found your body double for your next movie!__________

This week on the Powerhouse Lawyers podcast, I connected with Jamie Sternberg! We waste no time on getting to the meat of this episode. Lawyers aren’t taught business development, let alone how to be a lawyer. [05:34] So, Jamie shares her journey from focusing on billable hours to prioritizing business development and its impact on her career. One of the biggest game changers for her was utilizing LinkedIn. [18:12] I know it can be scary or seem unimportant to develop a digital presence, but I promise it is one of the more important things you can do for your career. Jamie suggests starting with a basic profile and making a few simple comments on other people’s posts. [24:50] I know you’re thinking “okay, but Erin, do you not know how busy I already am?” Jamie touches on how her coaching helps attorneys fit business development into their schedules in a realistic way, work through the nerves about posting, and stop you in your tracks before starting habits of ineffective business development. [34:30] Bonus: Jamie uses human design in coaching [37:46] Then she shares a Legally Blonde Moment featuring a reflection on rushing. The victim: the car AND the mailbox.
