Breaking Up with the Billable Hour

Welcome back Powerhouse! Let’s hop right in. Our guest today is a revolutionary powerhouse, Gwen Griggs, lawyer and trailblazer of eliminating the billable hour. We all know the love-hate relationship we have with billing. [00:33] Not having a background in law has served Gwen well. In fact, she decided she wanted to be a lawyer after learning about the Brown versus Board of Education case at 11 years old. [02:51] Gwen’s struggle with billing clients an ominous fee, led her to look for alternatives. Believe it or not, the answer was found in building clear work boundaries with your clients, removing unlimited access to you and your services, and creating systems that give your client confidence in your skills and timeline. [05:37] If you’re like me, I want to figure out how to do this! Gwen offers coaching to implement this new billing method for lawyers. [22:44] And of course, we finish off with Gwen’s Legally Blonde Moment. You know you’ve reached the correct Gwen, when her email ends with “If you have any concerns, please don’t call.” [45:12] Closing [46:19]__________Join the private Powerhouse Lawyer Facebook group!
