Attorney well-being continues to be a hot topic in the legal community.  While the most severe effects of the pandemic are now behind us, mental health continues to be a significant issue in our profession. But there is a lot being done to address these challenges. To provide some context, several years ago, the Report of the Task Force on Lawyer Well-Being, issued by the American Bar Association, Conference of Chief Judges, and other legal organizations, called well-being an essential element of a lawyer's duty of competence. In Massachusetts, Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers plays a vital role in supporting attorneys, and the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts has established a Standing Committee on Lawyer Well-Being to enhance the well-being of lawyers, judges, and law students in the Commonwealth. In this episode, my former colleague, Amy Levine discusses the many initiatives going on in Massachusetts and around the country.  Amy is the Director of Programs and Volunteers at Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers (LCL) of Massachusetts. Amy has over 20 years of experience in the legal industry.  She has worked in in marketing, human resources, and legal recruiting and has a background in social work.   In 2018, Amy was one of the first guests on this podcast where she talked about interviewing. At LCL, Amy creates programs for the Massachusetts legal community and provides customized educational programming for various legal organizations. She also recruits and manages LCL's volunteers, who assist in running recovery groups, provide peer monitoring services, and act as ambassadors for the organization. We discuss the critical role of Lawyers Assistance Programs around the country, the extensive range of services offered by LCL, and the impact these programs have on lawyer well-being.

Amy Levine discusses how a volunteer doula program can alleviate pressure on clinical staff and build a hospital's reputation as a caring place.

In our last episode of Taking Stock, we spent some time talking about understanding consumer motivations. In this episode, we dive into how consumer engagement is central to your revenue growth management strategy and how to connect the dots between RGM and consumer engagement – two functions that can often feel disconnected.    In this episode of Taking Stock, I'm joined by Amy Levine and Ryan Mulligan as we discuss a holistic perspective around revenue growth management and how an effective consumer engagement strategy is connected to a successful RGM discipline. 

In this episode of Taking Stock, I'm joined by Amy Levine and Reed McKenzie as we chat through considerations for understanding your consumers and their motivations as well as implementing cross-functional efforts across the organization to further drive engagement and innovation.     Consumer engagement is critical for any consumer products company today. Understanding your consumers, their motivations, and their connection to your product is what drives success, and it needs to be a cross-functional effort. In our last episode of Taking Stock, we dove into the concept of consumer engagement – what it is, how it's evolved over the past years, and what to consider when building an effective consumer engagement strategy. Today, we're talking about understanding consumer motivations and the steps companies can take to ensure they're meeting their consumers' needs and expectations. 

Consumer engagement is a critical imperative for CPG companies today; it's how they'll compete and remain relevant moving forward. In this episode of Taking Stock, I'm joined by colleagues Amy Levine and Idoia Hidalgo as we discuss the key components of building an intentional and seamless consumer engagement strategy.  There's been a major shift in consumer expectations over the past few years. Consumers are more digital, and they're communicating with brands across a number of channels and even through social platforms. But this isn't anything new – brands just aren't adapting or responding as well as they should be. There's a disconnect between what consumers want and how companies are meeting those needs, and the bridge between the two is consumer engagement.  Consumer engagement goes well beyond consumer satisfaction or content development. It's the effort of a brand or business to build meaningful relationships with its consumers through intentional interactions and establish deeper loyalty. It's about putting the consumer at the forefront of your overall strategy to understand their needs, adapt to evolving preferences, and drive competitive advantage. 

For the last 10 months, most interviewing has gone on-line.  Zoom interviews are the norm right now and new hires are even being on-boarded virtually.  While the world will eventually shift back to in-person interviews, Zoom, WebEx and other virtual platforms are likely to continue to play a significant role in the hiring process.  The convenience of bringing together parties who are in different locations and have different schedules, it high.  As we enter 2021, I decided to that updating my interviewing tips was long overdue.  In this episode, I share with you the latest tips for on-line interviewing.  Click here to read my more comprehensive interviewing guide which covers both live and virtual interviews. I also invite you to listen to a conversation with my former colleague Amy Levine.  Her advice on interviewing is pre-COVID; but her tips remain very relevant (Nailing the Job Interview).  And as always, I welcome your emails and phone calls if you would like to discuss.

In this episode, host @BrookeLJames sits down with Amy Levine, Executive Director of The Doula Program To Accompany And Comfort to talk about how we care for and speak to those near the end of life. We discuss how being vulnerable in your needs and communication is beneficial to both you and the person in end-of-life care, how not talking about end-of-life as a society is detrimental to us, and with her background on geriatric psychiatry, we talked about better ways to talk to people who are older, but not dying.

In this episode of Counsel to Counsel, I speak with my colleague Amy Levine about strategies for success in job interviews. In the 30 years since I graduated from law school, the rules about interviewing have remained largely the same; but with the explosion of social media and the web in general, there are some things that have changed. One big thing that has changed is that lawyers change jobs a lot more frequently. So keeping your interviewing skills sharp is important. One of the things that I do as a recruiter is help my candidates prepare for interviews. I also sit in an office where I get to hear my colleagues do the same. And for the last four years, I have been listening to my colleague Amy Levine do a great job of helping her candidates to get ready (for informal interviews, first round interviews and later round interviews.) Amy is Vice President of Marc Z Legal and she has been working in the legal professional for over fifteen years. She has held roles in marketing and human resources at the Boston firms of Hale and Dorr (which is now Wilmer Hale) and Goulston and Storrs. For the past 10 years she has been recruiting a broad mix of attorney, paralegal and support staff for major law firms and corporations. In this episode, Amy shares some great interviewing tips that come from many years of speaking with clients and candidates. Like anything, interviewing is a skill that takes practice. If you have an interview coming up and would like to discuss it with someone, please don't hesitate to reach out to Stephen Seckler at legal@seckler.com or Amy Levine at amy@marczlegal.com.
