Janet Falk is a communications professional with over 30 years of experience in-house and at public relations agencies. Janet advises attorneys at small law firms on Media Relations and Marketing Communications so they can: attract new clients, remain top of mind with prior clients, keep in touch with referral sources, help recruit associates, generate a news story about litigation that puts pressure on opposing counsel, and achieve business goals. For example, a press release announced a lawsuit had been filed one morning; that afternoon, a news story appeared in an online industry publication. Less than four hours later, defense counsel contacted the plaintiff’s attorney to discuss a settlement. Before launching Falk Communications and Research in 2009, she served as Media Relations Counsel for more than 350 attorneys in the Corporate & Securities, Private Equity, Financial Industry, Bankruptcy, Securities Litigation, and New York Commercial Litigation practice groups at Reed Smith LLP. Janet arranged for these attorneys to speak on timely legal and business issues with reporters at The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Law Journal, CNBC and Time magazine, among other top-tier legal, business and trade media. These interviews led to quotes in front-page articles and other news stories, which generated new clients for the law firm, in some cases resulting in more than a million dollars in new business. Janet has published articles on Media Relations and Marketing in The New York Law Journal, The New Jersey Law Journal and Marketing the Law Firm. She is a frequent guest on podcasts about legal marketing. What you’ll learn about in this episode: ow Janet helps solo attorneys and small firms with their marketing and communications, and how law firms can benefit from partnering with public relations firms What reporters are looking for when they are seeking sources, and how a PR firm can help you get your name out as a professional that reporters can trust How to build a media profile that offers reporters all the information they need to confirm your status as a professional How the official public relations trade association, the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), defines public relations How Janet helps lawyers clarify the message they want to communicate and then helps them find opportunities to spread that message through the right platforms How Janet’s public relations efforts benefitted a client through a sexual harassment case by creating intense pressure and encouraging the other party to settle quickly Why Janet believes that any publicity isn’t always good publicity for lawyers and their clients, and what options and tools are available for creating press releases What steps firms should take to clean up a bad PR situation, and how the secret is to focus on the three R’s: regret, recompense, and reform How to avoid appearing guilty when talking to a reporter, and why “no comment” is never the right answer to a tough question How to connect with Janet to request a free 30-minute consultation and sign up for her free monthly newsletter Resources: Sample Attorney Executive Media Profile for Reporters & FREE 30 Minute Consult Website: www.JanetLFalk.com Website: www.JanetLFalk.com/newsletters LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/janetlfalk/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/falk-communications-and-research/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/falkcomms/ Twitter: @JanetLFalk Additional Resources: 3 Barriers to Law Firm Growth and How to Overcome Them: https://pilmma.kartra.com/page/3-barriers-on-demand-registration PILMMA’s free Coronavirus Survival Kit: www.pilmma.org/free-resources/ Strategic Attorney Coach: https://www.pilmma.org/strategic-attorney-coach/ PILMMA Join Page: https://pilmma.kartra.com/page/join-pilmma

Women In-Depth: Conversations about the Inner Lives of Women
“Mythology and storytelling are age-old methods of passing along wisdom, sharing experience, and explaining or teaching about life.” Learning to trust your intuition, feelings, and dreams is a powerful experience. With all the stories and lessons told to children today, our society does not seem to support the notion that women should learn to trust their intuition. This is a meaningful lesson for any woman, whether she’s a Maiden, Mother, or Crone. This is a lesson that is truly universal. In this episode, I talk with Janet Lucy about her new children’s book Mermaid Dreams. This book encompasses many missing lessons from today’s children’s literature, while also depicting the connection between mother and daughter. Janet also tells the powerful story of goddesses and how goddess mythology illuminated her ideas within the book. Take a listen to learn Janet’s new book Mermaid Dreams and how this story passes along universal wisdom to women. About Janet Lucy: Janet Lucy is an award-winning writer and poet, most notably the book Moon Mother, Moon Daughter: Myths and Rituals that Celebrate a Girl’s Coming of Age. She earned her master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Antioch University. She’s also the founder and director of Women’s Creative Network, which is a consulting business utilizing intuitive, creative, and professional development through writing. She is passionate about the connection between mothers and daughters and how mythologies and stories coincide with the universal truths that women experience. Some Questions I Ask: What inspired you to write Mermaid Dreams? (3:14) What is the significance of the Mermaid to you? (7:17) How does the story in Mermaid Dreams depicts the connection between mother and daughter? (12:46) What coming-of-age concepts does Mermaid Dreams address? (14:15) In This Episode, You Will Learn: About the story of the African goddess Yemaya. (9:12) How the power to change your dreams coincides with the power you have over your psyche. (15:03) How Janet’s book teaches children to go within themselves and learn to trust their inner voice. (18:00) How Janet’s books apply to all women. (20:54) How women’s internalized beliefs can manifest into the basis of fear.

On today's show we are speaking with the insightful Janet Caliri. Janet is a Human Potential Practitioner, specializing in helping others to love themselves through massive life transitions. Janet shares her personal journey of finding herself in a state of burnout which led her through adrenal fatigue, to healing, recovery, self-activation, and a discovery of the modality she now uses to assist others in similar situations. I really wanted you to hear her story because I see so many women struggling with adrenal fatigue who have NO IDEA what is going on with their mental, physical, and spiritual health. In fact, the western medical model does not acknowledge that adrenal fatigue is a real condition at all. It is my hope that in sharing this story and information, more women struggling with this issue will find their way to healing, and home to their own vitality, joy, and purpose in the world. In this episode: * Janet shares about professional burnout and the descent into adrenal fatigue * The confusion over her symptoms and having no idea what was wrong with her * Returning home to stay with her parents in her 40's, and the stress and struggle of them trying to "fix" her * Th healing journey that began upon understanding she was suffering from adrenal fatigue, and getting help for her condition * The importance of tracking our progress on different journeys in life, and why adding this ritual can be so beneficial to our healing and growth * How Janet came to develop her current healing modality that she now shares with others
