In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Nathan Ohler discuss:
- Moving past the status quo to something different.
- Saving yourself pain and frustration by crowdsourcing your problems with peer advisory groups.
- Topics that come up frequently in lawyer peer advisor groups.
- Top benefits of peer advisor groups for the members.
Key Takeaways:
- In peer groups, you can realize that your firm’s problems are not unique to you and those problems are solvable.
- Goals and tactical plans are related but are not the same thing. You need to have a tactical plan in place to achieve your goals. It is 2% about the goal and 98% about the tactics and habits.
- Finding and retaining talent now, both young attorneys and support staff, is different than it was in the past.
- There are many different ways that peer groups or masterminds - not every type will work for every person, but there is a benefit in actively participating in these groups.
"It is just linking back to these problems, and getting solutions to them. Hearing what is working from my peers who are living something similar to what I'm living. And I want to hear a diversity of solutions. So then I can go internalize which of those I want to test out. That environment of being able to hear not just one example, but maybe 10 is really powerful." — Nathan Ohler
