Breaking the cycle of reactiveness and complete business priorities

Breaking the cycle of reactiveness and complete business priorities

Do you keep promising yourself this week will be different? Yet come Friday, you have still not completed the tasks you wanted to prioritise?

It is easy to spend an entire day (week, month) being busy in your law firm and still know the important work is not moving forward. โ€œ๐˜ ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ต ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฌ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜บ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ญ ๐˜ ๐˜ค๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง๐˜ง.โ€

Like many law firm owners, my client was caught in the cycle of constant fee-earning, interruptions, and responding to management demands. They were too busy working in the business to work on it, or pioritise their own work.

The projects that really mattered to the firm kept being delayed. Working on the business was postponed.

Not through lack of effort, but because there was very little space to step back and plan for the work, and how to manage interruptions.

Our coaching sessions allowed protected thinking time, and an opportunity to challenge the habits and decisions, interfering with their plans. An uninterrupted opportunity to focus on what needed attention, what was a business priority, and how to achieve it. Together, we clarified priorities, broke down the projects that had been difficult to progress, and put a clear plan in place.

We also explored what could derail the plan, from client matters to team members, and included personal habits and traits. Putting into place a plan, that recognised and supported the reality, allowing a greater chance of creating sustainable change.
