In 2013, I wrote a post on Slaw.ca on Infographics for Lawyers.

I’m not always motivated to do what I need to do either – one example is not always being motivated to prepare and show up for my weekly Videosocials call to record my videos. But I remembered a saying I’ve heard recently that resonated with…
Can a tomato make you more productive? Hi, I’m Allison Shields Johs, President of Legal Ease Consulting, where I help lawyers create more productive, more profitable, and more enjoyable law practices. I don’t know about you, but lately I seem to be having a very difficult time focusing and accomplishing what I want to accomplish.

Do you need a premium account to get the most out of LinkedIn? This might be the single most common question I get when speaking or training on LinkedIn.  And while I will say that my co-author on Make LinkedIn Work for You, A Practical Handbook for Lawyers and Other Legal Professionals is a firm devotee of the premium version, I personally have always used the free version and found it to be entirely adequate…
