Todayâs conversation is with fellow attorney Scott Oliver, a Partner at Lewis Kappes. Scott became the youngest equity partner in his firmâs history. But thatâs not why weâre talking or what we will be chatting about today. Scott is a big believer that being more âhumanâ as a lawyer leads to greater success and happiness. Which is precisely what we will be getting into today (and more).
I first became aware of Scott via LinkedIn. Sometimes, he comes from a business development angle. But most of the time, he writes about life â as a lawyer, spouse, manager/leader and parent. I was drawn to his transparency around what it takes to be a successful lawyer who is also happy. Here is what youâll get inside of todayâs episode:
--> How to rethink success and find a practice area that "fills your cup" (hint: values are key).
--> How to build your personal brand and book of business (even as a new lawyer).
--> The power of sharing publicly and building a brand.The post #167: Success, Happiness & Being Human with Scott Oliver appeared first on Life & Law Podcast.

You worked HARD on a pitch for a potential new client. But it felt a bit awkward, they hardly asked any questions, and all you got was a polite "thank you". They promised you'd hear something soon but you haven't heard a word and it's been over a week. You can't help but wonder if this is going to be like the last pitch... "We decided to go with another firm."
The truth is this: most lawyers and law firms don't give the best sales pitches. Most don't truly prepare appropriately.
Worry that might be you, too? Let's change that today. Listen to today's episode to learn my top sales pitch secrets for preparing for and giving effective sales pitches that will drastically improve your chances to win any future sales pitch.
