Podcasts about support staff

During Ep. 38 of the Ask the Law Firm Seller Show, Jeremy E. Poock, Esq. addresses the following question: What are the Components to Valuing a Law Firm? As Poock explains, “When it comes to valuing a law firm, there are 5 key components to the valuation for what a law firm is worth.” Those 5 components consist of the following: (1) Client List (2) Referral Source List (together with the Client List, the “Book of Business”) (3) Key Employee Lawyers & Support Staff (4) Subject Matter Knowledge (5) Digital Value Poock then poses the following 2 questions: (a) Who wants and needs the 5 Components of Value? and (b) What will they pay for it? Distinguishing between internal successors and Growing Law Firms, Poock points out that Growing Law Firms want and need the 5 Components of Value that a selling law firm offers because the 5 Components of Value compliment the following 3 resources that Growing Law Firms need: (1) More clients (2) Talented lawyers and support staff; and (3) Digital content Regarding how much a Growing Law Firm will pay for the 5 Components of Value, Poock explains the following 2 law firm sale structures: (1) Law Firm Sales 1.0 in which a seller's value primarily relates to its Book of Business (client list & referral source), where the financial terms typically involve an earnout pegged to collections derived by a purchasing law firm from a selling law firm's Book of Business during a negotiated period of time; and (2) Law Firm Sales 2.0, which involves a fixed price, plus earnout terms, where the fixed price derives from the predictability of client originations attributable a selling law firm's Digital Value and Brand Equity.

During Ep. 37 of the Ask the Law Firm Seller Show, Jeremy E. Poock, Esq. addresses the following question: Why do purchasing law firms need to hire the lawyers and support staff of a selling law firm? As Poock explains, “There's really four reasons why purchasing law firms need the lawyers and support staff from a selling law firm, and it's broken down into two categories. The first two needs relate to the clients of a selling law firm, and the second two needs [relate] to the clients of a purchasing law firm.   Regarding the first category, as it relates to the clients of a selling law firm, Poock explains that the lawyers and support of a selling law firm fulfill the following 2 needs of a purchasing law firm:   1. Continue representing the clients who comprise the Book of Business that a selling law firm presents to a purchasing law firm; and   2. Facilitate the post-sale “Trust Transfer” of the clients of a selling law firm to the lawyers and support staff of the purchasing law firm.   Regarding the second category, as it relates to the clients of a purchasing law firm, Poock points out the following:   1. As today's Growing Law Firms continue to generate new clients digitally, they need talented lawyers and support staff to provide high quality legal services to those clients, which the experienced lawyers and support staff of a selling law firm can provide, often with minimal, additional training.   2. In addition to needing talented and experienced lawyers and support staff, Growing Law Firms need a stable workforce, which lawyers and support staff from a selling law firm provide because they have a similar need for stability in the form of needing to maintain a reliable, predictable, and safe job.   Taken together, purchasing law firms need the lawyers and support staff of a selling law firm to: (a) Ensure maintaining relationships with the clients of a selling law firm; and (b) Increase the talent pool at a purchasing law firm to provide top notch legal services to clients whom a purchasing firm self-originates, often via digital marketing in today's Digital Era for the legal industry.

Bend-La Pine Schools employs around 900 Classified employees who are present in all aspects of District operations, from classrooms to kitchens, buses to offices, libraries to landscaping. For this episode of “The Supe is On” podcast, Dr. Cook's guest is Jennifer Groth, Inclusion Educational Assistant at Bend Senior High School and President of the union representing all Classified employees, the Oregon School Employees Association Chapter 6. Jennifer talks about the OSEA's role in supporting Classified staff across our District, how she and District administration work together to solve issues, some of the challenges in keeping these positions competitive in Central Oregon, and ways in which we celebrate the accomplishments of our amazing support staff. Our Classified staff members are the heartbeat of our schools, the backbone of District operations, the very network of support that enables our whole district to provide successful outcomes for students. They ferry BLS students safely across busy streets. They prepare nutritious food for students and serve it with a smile. Classified staff navigate winter conditions driving buses with skill and care to deliver students safely home. They create relationships that may be the one connection that brightens a day or even changes a life. Classified staff brave every kind of weather on recess duty. They keep our buildings clean and ensure we are safe. They are guides and examples in the best sense. (Theme music by Zakhar Valaha)

What's really happening inside today's schools?From the outside, teaching can look like a stable job with good pay and long holidays. But inside the building, the reality is far more complicated.Modern classrooms have become high-pressure human environments. Teachers, educational assistants, and support staff are managing behaviour challenges, emotional regulation, social conflict, and student mental health while still trying to teach.In this episode of You're Probably Right, we explore the hidden workload inside today's education system and why more teachers are experiencing burnout.We also look at the role of support staff, the pressure created when schools lose experienced people, and what happens when the number of problems entering the building keeps rising while the human capacity to manage them stays the same.If you want to understand the real pressures inside schools today, this conversation matters.

What does appreciation really look like in schools?Behind every classroom, gym, and hallway is a network of people who keep schools running every day. Teachers, educational assistants, child and youth workers, custodians, lunch supervisors, coaches, and other support staff carry responsibilities that go far beyond the job description. Many entered education not simply for a paycheck, but because someone once made a difference in their own lives.In this episode of You're Probably Right, we take a closer look at the reality facing support staff and educators across Canada. From financial pressure to emotional labour, from seasonal employment gaps to the expectations placed on those who care for students every day, this discussion explores the unseen side of school work.Many people working in education come from deeply personal experiences. Some were inspired by a teacher who believed in them. Some grew up without strong support systems and chose education as a way to become the adult they once needed. Others experienced hardship or trauma in school environments and made a commitment to help future students have a better experience.There is a common saying that hurt people hurt people, but in schools the opposite is often true. Many hurt people choose to help people. Many who were taught well want to pass that knowledge forward. And many who struggled through education themselves worked hard to gain the qualifications, skills, and understanding needed to guide the next generation.This episode also raises an important question for those who lead education systems. If appreciation is meant to recognize the people who support students every day, what should that recognition actually look like?Is a plaque enough?Is a photo enough?Or should appreciation reflect the real pressures that education workers face?Through a simple example of collective contribution, the episode explores how small actions from many people can create meaningful recognition for the individuals who support schools every day.Whether you are a teacher, coach, educational assistant, child and youth worker, school administrator, or someone who simply cares about education, this conversation asks a direct question.Do we truly understand what the people supporting our schools are carrying?And if we do want to know, are we prepared to listen.

There's a difference between being helpful and being promoted. If you're not being evaluated for leadership, you're being used for stability. If you want help making a value shift in your specific situation, apply for a strategy call here: https://m.masteryinsights.com/application What is the Economic Value of Perception? The Economic Value of Perception is a governing principle that dictates how an individual's professional contributions are classified by organizational leadership. Value classifications are divided into two distinct categories: "Relief" (support staff function) and "Direction" (leadership function). This mechanism determines whether a professional is evaluated for their execution and helpfulness or their capacity for enterprise consequence ownership and strategic decision-making. Key Concepts Ambiguity Ownership: The capacity to "metabolize" unknowns and carry the weight of uncertain consequences, effectively reducing the cognitive load of senior leadership rather than escalating it. Exposure Language: A shift in language focused on identifying and reducing organizational risks including trade-offs, costs of inaction, and potential surprises instead of reporting on task completion or personal productivity. Signal-to-Noise Ratio: The ratio of clarity and certainty to drama, reactivity, and unnecessary detail to bring clarity and certainty to a volatile environment without the "drama" of reactive, sympathetic nervous system responses. Law of Assigned Function: The organizational reality where leaders first assign a specific function (Support vs. Leadership) and subsequently observe all behavior through that specific lens.

Educators are no strangers to overwhelming workloads. From endless lesson planning and admin to keeping up with emails and data collection, the job can often feel never-ending. Add to that the constant stream of headlines about teacher burnout, and it’s no wonder many staff feel stuck in a cycle of stress and exhaustion. But what if we could shift the narrative and the day-to-day reality by using new tools in smarter, more intentional ways? Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most talked-about innovations right now. Much of the conversation has centered on how students might use (or misuse) AI, but there’s an equally important question we need to ask: how can AI help teachers and leaders manage their workload, reclaim time, and support staff wellbeing? In this episode, I am joined by Amy Green, thriving strategist, speaker, educator, author and founder of The Wellness Strategy. Amy shares her practical insights on how schools can embrace AI thoughtfully to lighten the load, improve collaboration and create space for genuine wellbeing practices to flourish. In this episode, we cover: How AI can be a“team member” to streamline planning, emails, meeting notes and admin Practical examples of AI reducing repetitive tasks so teachers can focus on collaboration and creativity The importance of using AI with discernment, debate and discussion, not as a replacement, but as an accelerator How schools can identify unique workload pain points and explore AI as a strategic solution The mindset and skills educators need to use AI effectively and responsibly How saving time with AI can be reframed as an opportunity to prioritise wellbeing, not add more work About Amy: Amy Green is a thriving strategist, speaker, author and educator who is reshaping the way we think about working and living well. After experiencing chronic stress and professional burnout firsthand, Amy committed to rethinking how schools and workplaces approach wellbeing. Through her organisation, The Wellness Strategy, she helps leaders and teams embrace innovative, sustainable practices that cultivate resilience, productivity, and engagement. Drawing on her background in teaching, leadership, coaching, and positive psychology, Amy equips individuals and organisations to redesign their work in ways that allow people to truly flourish. With both lived experience and deep expertise, she brings a powerful mix of insight, compassion, and strategy to her mission of creating environments where educators and teams can thrive.

Dr. Peter Weinstein explores the feasibility of implementing a production-based compensation model for veterinary support staff with Cone of Shame host, Dr. Andy Roark. They touch on the potential benefits and drawbacks of this approach, discussing how it might improve job satisfaction, retention, and appreciation for technicians, assistants, and other support roles. Dr. Weinstein argues that while veterinarians benefit directly from production-based pay, the staff executing the bulk of the work often remain on fixed salaries, creating a disconnect in compensation fairness. The conversation also touches on broader topics such as profit-sharing and the overall drive to enhance workplace morale and productivity. They examine whether tying wages to service delivery could equitably distribute earnings and reflect individual contributions more accurately, potentially revolutionizing compensation structures in veterinary practices.

As a solopreneur (think experts like coaches or consultants), it is essential to delegate so you can concentrate on tasks that uniquely require your expertise.  By hiring support staff, even on a part-time or hourly basis, you can free up time for more valuable tasks and help prevent burnout. Common first hires include virtual assistants or financial managers.  There's also tremendous value in investing in your personal brand, building your email list, outsourcing your website, and engaging often with your audience. Ultimately, we can't overstress the importance of leveraging support to maximize efficiency and business success. Quotes “Many of our clients fall into this category where we wouldn't necessarily call them small business owners, they are small business owners, but they're really more of a business of one person, they are the subject matter expert. And they have an executive assistant or an admin person or a marketing person or a VA, helping them grow their business.” “What I hear most commonly is hiring someone to manage the financial aspect of the business.” “Some other common activities are scheduling, marketing, any support around sales, and any sort of administrative task that doesn't have to be completed by that subject matter expert.” “A good way to figure out what you can let go of is just making a list of what you do every single day for about two weeks, and then identifying the things that you're doing that only you can do. But also identifying the things that you've done, you look over those past few weeks, that you think somebody else could do, and lump those tasks together, and assign those to somebody else.  “Especially when you're first starting your business of, again, subject matter expert, you're doing way more than you need to be doing until you get off the ground, very common.”  “The second you can hire someone and get some of those tasks off your list that can be done by someone else, the better. Because you can monetize the work that you're doing, you know, at a much higher rate than some of the more lower level tasks that you might be engaging in.” “People don't realize all the tasks that they have to do to launch their business and grow their business.” “You can get burned out by doing all the things.” “Focusing on the thing that you are excellent at is most important because that tends to fill people up when you're working in your strengths, that tends to energize you and make you excited about your work.” “It's tricky at the beginning, at the very beginning, because you may not have a lot of money to invest in your infrastructure.”  “It always kills me to see people trying to build their own website, for example, when they don't really have the skills to do that. And they get so frustrated, and they end up with a result that is truly lackluster, and doesn't reflect well on them.” “Two things I did not do from the beginning, and that I now make sure every client does and one is list build. That was years before we actually added an opt in to our website, years… And the second thing is that visibility piece. We've had our business for many years, and it's really just been in the last couple of years, through the podcast and through really beefing up our social media, mine in particular this year, where I'm making a concerted effort to become more visible and be the face of the brand.” Links mentioned in this episode: The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Tim Ferris: https://a.co/d/8QzJ9Bm
