What is your personal brand as a lawyer?
Do you present yourself as brainy and erudite, tech-savvy and modern, or down-to-earth and approachable? A bulldog or more easy-going?
Knowing who you are – and being comfortable in your own skin – will make your law life soar.
“Want more leads that turn into paying clients? Embrace your authentic self and market who you are, even if it initially makes you uncomfortable,” says Katy Goshtasbi, author of Personal Branding in One Hour for Lawyers, in this ABA Journal article. “It can’t be something basic, like saying you are an attorney who always delivers work product on time. That’s something every lawyer should do, and it does not make you unique.”
