John Kormanik: Time Mastery and Growth Strategies for Busy Legal Professionals

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and John Kormanik discuss:

• Mastering time and prioritization for lawyers
• Transitioning from law practice to impactful coaching
• Embracing work-life blend over balance
• The value of coaching for professional growth

Key Takeaways:

• Lawyers should identify and focus on high-level tasks only they can perform, saying no to distractions and delegating effectively to reclaim control of their schedules.
• Creating space to recharge, such as leaving your phone behind during walks or taking intentional downtime, is crucial to maintaining focus and high performance.
• Begin each day with proactive work aligned with your goals, avoiding the trap of reactive email responses, which often represent others' priorities rather than your own.
• Instead of chasing an impossible balance, embrace the idea of blending professional demands and personal goals based on the current season of your life and work.

"You do hard things every day—you just don’t realize it because, by the time you're done, you’ve already done them." —  John Kormanik
