A critical first step in deciding about the kind of practice management help you may need.
We will email or fax the 120 question Practice Diagnostic to you (it takes about 15 minutes to complete) and schedule a convenient one-hour phone interview to debrief it. We will then give you specific, practical recommendations for your next steps including, if appropriate, an Atticus program that will fit your needs. The fee for the diagnostic is rolled into a coaching program should you choose to pursue it.
The diagnostic is conducted in two parts and is designed to provide the attorney insights into their personal style and their practice. Both parts take a total of about 30 minutes for the attorney to complete. A one-hour telephone consulting session is scheduled to review the results. Every diagnostic is conducted by a highly trained member of the Atticus team.
The first part consists of a DISC personality profile, which provides key insights to the attorney into their behavioral personality preferences and styles. Our clients are briefed on how their personalities will help shape their marketing activities, interact with staff issues, and impact their change efforts in their lives and practice. These insights help the client be more aware of how they influence their surroundings and how to better handle the situations they deal with.
The second part of the diagnostic is the practice portion, which is broken into four categories. We help the lawyer assess key areas of the firm: cash flow, staffing, time management, and client development. Each of these systems needs to be in place and functioning for the firm to be in a position to serve the needs of the attorney. The systems are analyzed incorporating the perceptions of the attorney and we assess the attitude toward the system and the functioning of that system. The discussions are very candid and often involve recommendations to the client to provide immediate help in a problem area. If appropriate, clients are guided to other resources from articles to seminars. The diagnostic is the perfect instrument to determine a baseline and decide on what actions are required to achieve the results of decreasing stress, increasing income, and working fewer hours.
Get away from the office to help deal with the issues at hand.
We design and facilitate firm retreats that help companies and organizations focus on time management, strategic planning, time management, interpersonal relations, marketing—or a combination. We offer broad experience and success with half-day, full-day and multi-day retreats. We can customize programs to meet your specific needs.
If your stress level is high, you work too many hours, don't make enough money and are working for your practice rather than having your practice work for you, then consider these workshops.
Taken individually or in combination, each session will share innovative ways to dramatically impact your practice. It will change the way you think about your practice and may be a key turning point in your professional life.
