In this episode, a little about production and a little about you. When you sit down at your desk, are you doing billable legal work – the real work – or are you doing administrative tasks?
Guest Gina Cotner is the founder and CEO of Athena Executive Services, a virtual assistant firm that frees busy professionals from mundane tasks so they can focus on serving clients, solving problems, and growing their business.
If you’ve been told (maybe over and over) that you need to delegate, you’ve probably never been told how. This may be the episode that helps you untangle that problem and finally take that first step.
Cotner shares how she helps attorneys work with assistants and build the trust that opens up space for additional billable hours instead of routine administration. If you’ve been told to delegate but can’t let go, Cotner’s insights learned through years of experience helping busy executives turn over tasks may be what you’ve needed to hear.
