Two Things @ Once

It’s a really busy few days. So, I have two things to update you on.

1. Space Between Center Lawyer Mastermind

We’ve had a huge response to the F-Word Manifesto talk at the ABA Annual Meeting. So, we’ve scheduled an informational call for attorneys interested in learning more about flat-fee billing models for their law firms and potentially joining our lawyer mastermind group. That call is Thursday, September 23rd at NOON EASTERN. The call details are:

(205) 747-2164
PIN: 324614
PW: 0923

2. INSIDE-OUT Development Program

We’re introducing a new Personal/Professional/Business Development program for ANYONE wanting to escape the billable hour trap and align who they are with what they do. You can find out more about that program and join us by clicking INSIDE-OUT INVITATION.

I’ll be letting people know about this as part of my F-Word Manifesto talk tonight at Ignite Fort Collins. You can watch the presentation via live streaming here tonight starting at 7pm MOUNTAIN: http://bit.ly/ifclivestream

Exiting times.

Moving past limitations

I’m writing this post from my iPhone as I wait for my flight home from Boston after two weeks of heavy travel and mind-expanding change. It’s become apparent that my marketing & social media skills are at least as valuable as my legal skills and that my ability to help people tap into their inner core of creativity is more powerful than the legal & marketing combined.

So, while I’ll still serve my legal clients, I’m going to stop limiting myself to that and now allow the right marketing and coaching opportunities into my world. What will that look like?

I don’t know for sure yet. I’m just now opening up to that question. I’m happy to hear your suggestions.

The only constant is change, and I’m finally ready to allow some major changes to happen-both internally and in this reality we all need to work with.

How does it get better?

ABA Annual Meeting – Legal Rebels Ignite

I will be speaking at the Legal Rebels program during the upcoming American Bar Association 2010 San Francisco Annual Meeting.  It would be my pleasure if you would join me.  Please stop by to see me present at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, August 5 at the expo floor at George Moscone Center West.

This is an “Ignite” style event – all the speaker have 6 minutes with 20 slides on auto-timers.  If you’ve ever been to an Ignite event locally, do it.  You’ll find that these are very high-energy programs and I’m sure this Legal Rebels program will be a crazy good time – at least a crazy good time for lawyers.  🙂

Here’s the list of speakers:

Paul Lippe

Gregory Norman Fernandez

Stephanie Kimbro

Kevin Houchin  (That’s ME!)

Ron Baker

Alexis Martin Neely

Kevin O’Keefe

Michael O’Connor

Francine Ward

Matthew Homann

A video of each talk will be posted at legalrebels.com during the month of September.

An Event You Shouldn’t Miss

You know I don’t do a lot of event promotion on the site, but when my friends Dawn Todd and Rikka Zimmerman told me about this I wanted to share.  Yes, I even wanted to sponsor – and DID sponsor through BOTH my law firm and The Space Between Center for Creative Spirit in Business.

This information IS that important.

A lot of people are waking up to “Conscious” Business, instead of just stumbling though business and life in the usual fog.

Conscious Business is a trend in business that’s getting a lot of attention.

Doing well by doing good.

The new discussion on the table is how are we consciously generating  business and what is the process of consciousness in business development?

Business as it has been done is just not working. . . and conscious business is more than  people, planet, profits and passion.

Dawn and Rikka will both be speaking at a single event here in Fort Collins next week.

August 4, 2010

9 am to 1 pm

Rikka will be speaking on the subject of Getting Out of Your Own Way and Dawn will be giving a talk on Conscious Business Development.

Alchemy of Ideas

Here’s a little video on the Alchemy of Ideas.  Hopefully this will shed some light on why Intellectual Property law does not care about your idea – only what you’ve DONE with your idea to bring it into the word and share it with the rest of us.

Granted, I still have a lot of improvement to make on the video technical – lighting, sound, visuals, etc.  Stick with me.  I hope to polish up the technical as quickly as I can.

Comments Welcome.
