VIDEO: SUCCESSFUL LAWYER. BUT ARE YOU ARE HIGH PERFORMING LAWYER?
WANT TO PERFORM AT A HIGHER LEVEL?
The answer isn’t automatically more.
More preparation. More research. More checking. More hours.
You’ve been rewarded for working that way.
But being successful while working that way doesn’t mean it’s what made you successful.
Or that it’s what you need to keep doing to become a higher-performing lawyer.
In this presentation, I’ll show you how to tell the difference between the time that improves your work and the time you’re giving it because of what you believe a successful lawyer has to do.
So you can keep your standards high and have more choice about where your time, attention and effort go.
That’s The T.I.M.E. Advantage™.
“PERFECT IS WHAT MADE ME SUCCESSFUL.” No, it didn’t.
You’ve never been perfect.
Neither has your work.
You’ve made mistakes.
Missed things.
Changed your mind and made it worse.
Had work questioned.
Had days when you weren’t at your best.
And you still became successful.
What you have consistently done is produce excellent legal work.
But law rewards the pursuit of perfection.
More research. More preparation. Another recheck. Another hour. Mitigating every risk.
And you’ve been rewarded while doing it.
The marks. The promotions. The briefs. Clients came back. Your reputation grew.
So it’s easy to confuse: I was successful while working this way with: I have to work this way to stay successful.
That’s a problem.
Because perfect has no finish line, there is always something else you could do.
And when “I could still make this better” becomes the reason to keep putting more time into it, your work gets to decide how much of your time it takes.
High-performing lawyers have a different standard. Not perfect. Excellence.
Because excellence doesn’t mean lowering the standard.
It means knowing what the standard requires.
And using your judgment to decide when the work needs more.
Same high standards. More choice about what gets you and your time.
That’s The T.I.M.E. Advantage™. _____________________________________________________________________________ Find out what pursuing “perfect” is costing you, what you’re really trying to protect, and how to keep a high standard without automatically giving the work more.
DON’T WASTE ANOTHER HOUR+. THE DECISION TOOL™
Have something you could easily give another hour? Before you do, decide whether that hour will materially improve the work.
The Decision Tool™ gives you 5 questions to decide whether the work needs more, or whether it already has what it needs.
Same high standards. A deliberate decision about where your next hour goes. → GET THE DECISION TOOL: https://www.louisemathias.com.au/don't-waste-another-hour _______________________________________________________________________________ WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU NEVER QUESTIONED?
You’ve been rewarded for how you work.
But being rewarded for something doesn’t mean it’s the best way to keep performing at a higher level.
What else about the barrister or lawyer you believe you have to be has been learned, accepted and reinforced without you ever deliberately choosing it?
That’s Professional Identity™.
And it’s one part of the work inside High Performance Lawyers™.
Because becoming a High-Performing Lawyer™ isn’t about adding more legal expertise to what you already know.
It’s about deliberately developing how you operate. → JOIN THE HIGH PERFORMANCE LAWYERS™ WAITLIST HERE
