Tired of being the only “firefighter”?

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Listen to the episode below: Ever have a day when you’re interrupted so often by employees complaining about each other that you can’t get any work done? And you start to wonder, “Who do they think I am … their mother (or father … or babysitter)?!? Why can’t they all just get along … and do it without my having to hover over them like a helicopter?” In this interview, Chief Resolution Officer Nance Schick, Esq. addresses the different ways you can encourage employees to figure it out for themselves and resolve conflicts powerfully so that you’re not the one “playing umpire” all the time.

Flying solo doesn’t have to mean going it alone.

I’m Nina Kaufman.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.

With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.

And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.

I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
