Today we're talking to Jacqueline Figueroa who will tell you how she used coaching to increase her billable hours AND have a life.

Jackie's not just an accomplished insurance defense attorney at a national firm billing 2400 hours a year.

She's also a dedicated parent, a marathon runner, and was promoted to partner at her firm.

When Jackie and I started working together, it was a very different story. She didn't think being a partner at her firm was even in the cards for her.

Jackie's story will inspire you and give you actionable tips if you're feeling overwhelmed by the demands of the legal profession.

In this episode, Jacqueline spills the beans on how she used coaching to:

• get out of overwhelm and increase her billing to calmly bill her firm's 2400 hours requirement
• make time for her family and her other passions
• emotionally regulate anxiety and stress.

Even if you don't want to bill 2400 hours a year, you don't want to miss this episode.

Listen in because Jackie gives you what you need to help you calm the overwhelm and take control of your practice.

Let's change the legal profession one lawyer at a time.

Washington-based estate planner Andrea Lauritzen is a powerhouse. But she didn't always see the power she had inside herself.

She was a new partner who felt overwhelmed.

She'd tried a lot of things to overcome it, but nothing worked...until coaching.

In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer, you'll hear how Andrea went from waking up feeling like her day was out of her control to creating her day powerfully and intentionally.

This didn't happen overnight.

It took tiny changes for her to create the life she wanted. She goes into detail about these changes step-by-step.

You'll learn:

✅ the very first step on her path to create the life she wanted (a step EVERY lawyer must take)

✅ how indecision and perfectionism short-changed herself and her ability to grow her practice area

✅ the mentality Andrea cultivated to stop believing her brain's limiting beliefs about what was possible for her

✅ how she changed her relationship with networking from questioning whether she belonged in the room to enjoying it and using it to grow her practice

✅ and so much more!

Listen until the end because we share several keys to changing your life and intentionally creating the life you want.
