The typical “balance” advice tells you to: Set boundaries at work (and say no, even to clients). Delegate as much as possible. Practice meditation and mindfulness.
You've tried your best to follow all the advice, but it's not working.
When this happens, it usually means that the problem is foundational: You are the system. Every big decision, every major review, and every important client touchpoint gets funneled through you.
The "fix" is the right structural support (e.g., systems/processes for more operational structure).
This is key to getting your life back.
That’s why I invited Shireen Hilal onto Life & Law. In today’s episode, we discuss how the right structural support can get you out of being the bottleneck (without you having to drop your standards).
Shireen has been there: a decade practicing at AmLaw 50 firms, then COO of a national firm where revenue grew 20% and profits per partner grew 30% (while earning best-place-to-work recognition).
Listen here.
