Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while now may have noticed a rather precipitous drop-off in the frequency of my blogging this year. I confess! As is so often true, that drop-off represents as a mix of good news and bad news. The bad news is I didn’t achieve the blogging goals I set for myself, and I really dislike missing my goals. I haven’t even been keeping up with reading other blogs, leading to my second declaration of blog bankruptcy.Â
The good news is that I’ve been doing a lot of other writing this year: articles for The Complete Lawyer and a few other publications, plus weekly articles/notes on aspects of leadership for my own newsletter Leadership Matters for Lawyers. (If you haven’t signed up for Leadership Matters for Lawyers yet, you can do so right now by filling in the box that appears at the top of the middle column on the blog or by clicking this link. You can, of course, unsubscribe any time.) I’ve also had speaking engagements nearly every week (some public, many not) and I continue working with wonderful lawyers who hire me for coaching.Â
And I’ve been hard at work on a project to help manage the flood of emails we all receive (and send) daily. I’ve finally discovered the secrets to keeping my in-box clear and making email work for me, not drown me. Following clients requests, I’m working to make the method available. You’ll hear more about this soon.
So, for those who’ve wondered if I’m dumping the blog, the resounding answer is NO! (And thank you for your emails checking on me.) The work I’ve been doing has generated quite a bit of content that I’m eager to share, thus the blogging renaissance. Check back soon (or follow the posts as summarized every other week in Leadership Matters for Lawyers) to see the new content.
Coming tomorrow: are your clients happy with your services? Listen in as I interview Cole Silver, lawyer and marketing expert, talk about business development and what your clients wish you knew about working with them.�
Welcome back!
