Welcome to another episode of the Legal Nurse Podcast with Pat Iyer, where today we dive headfirst into one of the most challenging aspects of the legal nurse consulting profession—dealing with difficult clients. Have you ever picked up the phone only to be met with immediate pushback from a potential attorney client about your fees or contract terms? You're not alone. In this episode, Pat Iyer unpacks the common types of challenging clients—dictators, negotiators, and tire kickers—and explores the subtle ways these interactions can erode your confidence and business if not handled with care. Through practical stories, such as Cassandra's negotiation misstep, Pat Iyer illustrates how easily the need to please can lead consultants into patterns of compromise that ultimately undermine their worth. She reveals the warning signs of toxic clients, the real costs—financial and emotional—of accommodating unreasonable demands, and most importantly, the mindset shift required to protect your business. Listeners will gain actionable steps for handling conflict, establishing firm boundaries, and knowing when it's time to walk away from an unhealthy professional relationship. With clear strategies for professional communication, documentation, and system improvements, Pat Iyer empowers legal nurse consultants to transition from a place of fear and guilt to one of confidence and control. If you're ready to cultivate a client base that respects your expertise and safeguards the health of your consulting practice, this episode delivers the tools and insights you need to transform client challenges into opportunities for lasting success. What you'll learn in this episode is how legal nurse consultants can handle challenging clients and protect their business Here are five intriguing questions that this podcast episode answers: How can legal nurse consultants spot red flags and identify toxic attorney clients early on? What steps should consultants take to effectively handle conflict with attorneys who challenge their fees or value? Why do legal nurse consultants sometimes give in to unreasonable client demands, and how can they change this pattern? What boundaries and systems can consultants implement to prevent problems with challenging clients? How does letting go of toxic clients open opportunities for better, more respectful professional relationships?

With AI, the consulting industry faces an existential crisis beyond technical roles. Traditional strategy and advisory work is now threatened. Check out this episode for 5 takeaways to help you navigate this change... We Discuss: What are consulting firms actually selling in the age of AI?Is "strategy through execution" enough going forward, or do consultants need to provide something more?Will consulting shift from human meetings to AI-integrated platforms?How can consultants avoid becoming commoditized like bank tellers or gas station attendants?What role does the human element play as AI capabilities expand?5 Takeaways: AI is creating a bifurcation in consulting where top performers must shift from selling frameworks and thinking to delivering concrete outcomes and accountability that clients can't get from AI tools alone.The human element of consulting—building trust, providing emotional support through change, and making clients feel valued—remains critical because people remember how you made them feel more than what you told them.Consultants who survive the AI disruption will be those who know which strategic questions to ask and where to apply their expertise, rather than those who can be replaced by increasingly sophisticated automation.The consulting industry risks commoditization as AI handles lower-value work like slide creation and report generation, forcing professionals to move up the value chain to strategic advisory roles.Future consulting may fundamentally shift from human-to-human meetings to AI-integrated collaborative platforms where advisory insights are embedded directly into the documents and tools clients use daily.Stories mentioned in the discussion:https://www.linkedin.com/posts/james-o-dowd_a-month-ago-i-highlighted-that-accentures-activity-7341911790261297153-Txpo?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAABb6A4B6Bfgr3O3JnrFYNVBjrqyKshAVKchttps://www.ft.com/content/a1a5c903-0a24-4c42-aae0-f86e04c06910https://furtheradvisory.com/insights/what-a-successful-advisory-firm-looks-like-in-2026/

Join host Sue Rose Minahan and Australian astrology guest Melissa Elvira Billington for a potent fireside chat: "2026 Be Your Best Medicine." 2026 dynamically cascades with the outer planets re-entering their new cycle for years ahead.

There's a planning trap consultants fall into every year, and it has nothing to do with effort, motivation, or follow-through.You put hours into planning. You set goals, map out your year, and feel clear when you close your notebook. Yet despite your best efforts, months later your business looks the same. Revenue hasn't grown the way you expected, you struggle to create pipeline control, and the plan feels like it never really mattered.In Episode 250, Melisa explains why this happens. She breaks down the planning trap that turns well-intentioned plans into little more than busywork. She walks through the four most common planning mistakes consultants make—not as personal failures, but as predictable outcomes of thinking like the doer instead of the business owner responsible for driving work into the business.This episode isn't about working harder or creating better task lists. It's about understanding why your planning hasn't changed results and how to build a plan that actually drives your business forward, to hit (and even exceed) your goals this year.If you've ever:Put serious time into planning but seen little change in your businessSet goals that didn't move the needle on revenue, pipeline, or workloadFinished the year wondering why things felt busy but not meaningfully differentThis episode will reset how you approach planning and what a plan should actually do.In this episode, you'll learn:[03:12] The four planning mistakes that make plans ineffective[08:44] Why underperformance and feast-or-famine cycles are usually planning problems, not execution problems[18:55] A five-step framework for planning like a business owner, including building revenue and lead strategies that actually work[28:42] How to implement, evaluate, and adjust your plan so it continues to drive resultsEpisode 250 is a milestone and a reset.

On today's episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I am joined by Allison Henderson, business coach and social media strategist who specializes in helping sleep consultants grow their client base both locally and online. She blends practical strategy with mindset and energetic growth practices, helping her clients build sustainable businesses and, for many, replace their corporate income.As we wrap up 2025 and look ahead to 2026, we focused this conversation on goal setting and intention setting for service-based business owners.

GovClose Certification Overview: https://www.govclose.com/govclose-certification-programThe "Jab Jab Right Hook" Strategy for Government Contracting SuccessStop chasing contracts with proposals. Start building relationships that WIN contracts. In this coaching call, I break down how relationship-based selling works in government contracting using Gary Vaynerchuk's "Jab, Jab, Right Hook" framework.Most contractors think they need to write better proposals. Wrong. The most successful government contractors I know rarely write competitive proposals—they win through relationships. Here's how to apply the Jab-Jab-Right Hook method to build genuine connections with contracting officers and decision-makers.**Who This Is For:**→ Government contractors tired of losing competitive bids→ Small businesses building their first relationships with agencies→ Consultants helping clients navigate federal sales→ Anyone pursuing DOD, DOE, DHS, or civilian agency contracts→ Companies with existing contracts looking to expand within an agency**CHAPTERS:**00:00 - Introduction: Why Relationships Beat Proposals00:45 - Always Take the Networking Call (Real Story)01:15 - Negotiating Between Big Companies & Egos02:00 - The Lawyer Problem: CYA vs. Making Deals Happen03:15 - Community Support & Learning from Each Other04:30 - Teaming Agreement Templates (Use & Reuse)04:45 - Product vs. Problem: Focus on THEIR Need07:00 - Market Intelligence Tools: Who Needs What14:30 - Using GovWin IQ to Track Pipeline & History18:15 - Subcontracting Strategy: Stay Focused or Diversify?21:00 - Timeline Expectations: 12 Months Is Normal22:00 - On-Site Networking: Fort Bragg Example22:30 - The Jab-Jab-Right Hook Method Explained23:00 - Every 3rd or 4th Time: When to Ask for Business23:15 - Why COs Want to Help Good Companies**Key Timestamps:**• 00:45 - How one networking call turned into a job offer• 02:30 - Why lawyers' CYA mentality kills deals• 05:15 - "Be passionate about your client's problem, not your product"• 06:00 - You're setting yourself up for failure if you don't match requirements• 22:30 - "Every single sale was never writing a proposal again"• 22:45 - "I would go there with engineers and fix it, wouldn't charge them"• 23:00 - "Every fourth or fifth time I'd ask for more business"• 23:15 - "I wanted to help companies that were honestly trying to do good work"**Related Videos You Should Watch:**• How to Use GovWin IQ for Pipeline Building• DOE National Labs Contracting Strategy• When to Give Up on an Agency (And Move On)• Teaming Agreements: How to Negotiate Between Big PlayersNeed a consultant?

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I am going to share the wisdom from this year's guests. I noticed a theme in the messages that the guests shared. They each spoke from their perspectives on the importance of failure and being human as key elements of their success. Not the lack of them, but rather embracing them. In today's episode, we discuss: Remember that you succeed because you're human, not despite it. Give yourself permission to feel, learn, and be imperfect, self‑trust and humanity fuel far better leadership than white‑knuckled control ever will Commit fully to the action and loosen your grip on the outcome. When you focus on aligned effort instead of rigid results, "failure" turns into feedback, experimentation feels safer, and it becomes much easier to stay in motion. Let your intuition come to work. The quirks, nonlinear career steps, and hard‑won stories you're tempted to hide are often exactly what make your leadership memorable, trustworthy, and uniquely valuable. Build flexible "blueprints" instead of rigid scripts. Map out where you're headed, but hold the plan lightly so you can adjust to new information, opportunities, or constraints without losing your sense of direction. In seasons of disruption, ask: Who am I becoming? Instead of freezing or bracing for impact, use job changes, industry shifts, or personal upheavals as prompts to align more closely with the kind of leader and human you want to be. Normalize vulnerability as part of your leadership toolkit. Naming your struggles, asking for help, or saying "I don't know yet" builds trust, strengthens teams, and creates room for others to be honest about what they need to thrive.

Welcome to episode #1015 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a moment when scarcity shapes everything from opportunity to attention, understanding who gets what (and why) has become one of the most consequential questions in modern life. Judd Kessler is the inaugural Howard Marks Endowed Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, an award-winning economist, and one of the leading thinkers in market design, public policy and behavioral economics. His research examines how rules, incentives, and institutional structures shape outcomes in environments where price alone cannot (or should not) decide allocation, from organ donation systems to education, labor markets, and beyond. Recognized early for his impact, Judd was named one of Forbes' "30 Under 30" in Law and Policy for his work on organ allocation and received the Vernon L. Smith Ascending Scholar Prize in 2021. His first (and new) book, Lucky by Design - The Hidden Economics You Need to Get More of What You Want, distills years of research into how "hidden markets" - those governed by rules rather than prices - quietly determine access to jobs, schools, tickets, healthcare, and even relationships. Judd explores the mechanics of scarcity, the strategic role of lotteries, waiting lists, and signaling, and how individuals unknowingly participate in market design every day. He also examines how AI is beginning to reshape allocation systems, why visible markets increasingly contain hidden layers, and how better design can improve both efficiency and equity. Grounded in rigorous scholarship yet deeply practical, Judd's work reframes luck not as randomness, but as something shaped by systems we can understand and sometimes redesign.

I'm joined by three extraordinary women—Leah Davidson, Lindsay Poelman, and Melanie Fay—for a rich, grounded discussion about what it truly means to take a holistic approach to transformation, both in our own lives and as coaches.Part of becoming a master coach is understanding that mindset work alone is not always enough—and that without the container of holistic coaching, it can even be detrimental to growth. In this conversation, we explore how the nervous system, emotions, and cognitive work intersect, and why a whole-person approach to coaching changes everything. We talk about what happens when insight alone isn't enough, why clients get “stuck” despite knowing what to do, and how safety, regulation, and compassion create access to deeper, more sustainable change.While this episode is very much geared toward coaches, the topics we cover are important for anyone on a personal development journey. If you're focused on your own growth, you'll gain insight into where a more holistic approach may be missing in how you're supporting yourself—and what might open up when that gap is addressed.This conversation offers a real glimpse into the holistic, ethical, and deeply human approach behind Master Coach Training. Each of these women has been instrumental in my own growth and healing, and it's an honor to share their wisdom with you.What you'll learn:How nervous system activation impacts your cognitive function and decision-making abilitiesWhy feeling safe in the body is what allows intuition to be heard and trustedHow learning to stay present with big emotions creates a new default response instead of shutting downWhy self-criticism is often a sign of nervous system overwhelm–not a mindset failureThe ethical line between coaching and therapy, and how the two can coexistYou can read the full show notes here.About Melanie FayMelanie Fay is a certified EFT practitioner and professional artist based in New York.

In this powerful episode, we challenge the idea of praying for wealth when your current identity isn't prepared to handle it. Many desire significant financial outcomes without first mastering financial management for their present resources. This discussion emphasizes that true `financial readiness` requires embracing financial responsibility and building the capacity to manage what you seek, embodying real money wisdom.To Join Donni's Mentorship Program, Actionable CEO: https://www.actionableceo.com/enrollTo Get Started As A Coach, Consultant or Course Creator: https://www.sixfigureacceleratoredu.com/home
