AI is going to empower lawyers to do so much more for clients.

Check out my interview on the Gibraltar Business Podcast, where I talk about my journey with generative AI and how it is transforming how we work at Legal Balance.

Next up on the 25 Movies, it’s Day 6: Candy Cane Lane.

Forgot to post last night’s movie, Deck The Halls.

But we’re back on it tonight!

Have you started watching Christmas movies yet?

“Business development gives you options. It gives you leverage; it gives you control over your choices and your legal career.”

I was a guest on Steve Fretzin’s Be That Lawyer where we smash through some big BD topics.

I do love Arnie in his comedy phase!

Transparency as an argument in favour of the billable hour is nonsense.

I feel like that’s the market Netflix is aiming for, Nikki.

Day 3 of 25 Movies of Christmas - Spirited.

I really think this is a modern Christmas classic already. It gets everything right.

Anyone else love this movie?

I love this movie so much!

And we’re off!

The 25 Movies of Christmas starts every year with Home Alone - Non. Negotiable.

Say hello to my new Christmas jumper…

Fear of rejection is a big part of why lawyers don’t ask prospective clients if they want to go ahead.

But the truth is you need prospects to say No, so you can focus your time on prospects more likely to say Yes!

You have limited time - don’t waste it holding on to prospects that go nowhere.

You might notice some double features, where the kids still aren’t quite ready to watch them (though I think it’s time to show them Die Hard!).

It’s the 25 Movies of Christmas 2024!

Every December, we watch a movie-a-day up to Christmas Day.

There are non-negotiables: Home Alone, Elf, Die Hard, and It’s A Wonderful Life.

Otherwise, every day is up for grabs.

What do you think? What’s missing? What are your Christmas non-negotiables?

And I’ve only just noticed yours! 🤦‍♂️😂 Right back at ya! Love it!

In my defence, I was watching The Karate Kid at the time - not the best time for me to be engaging in any form of social networking!
