The seven habits of highly effective family solicitors

In this new blog I want to offer some helpful hints and tips to beleaguered family law practitioners.

My first attempt will be a family law re-interpretation of the famous self-help guide written by Stephen R Covey in 1989 'The Seven Habits of Highly Effective'.

Bear with me there might be a few helpful ideas and I promise this post will be short!

Habit 1: Be proactive

For me this is about understanding that we are in control of our own decisions and that this is the primary determining factor of our personal effectiveness. Of course with this power comes responsibility for the consequences of the choices we make.

So next time you are sitting at your desk feeling overwhelmed and stressed to the max stop staring at your emails and talk to yourself.
