At the risk of seeming to spend every Sunday night in front of the TV, this month I am commenting on the new TV hit Madam Secretary, (MS). It explores three important struggles we rezoomers can face. If you haven’t watched Madam Secretary yet, you should. It is about a secret service professional who opts out of her government career to […]

(Feel free to join Solo Practitioners Forum). The biggest issue was whether or not to get malpractice insurance immediately upon getting […]

Solos always need tools to get ahead. The most obvious tool to help you do that is actually inside your head. You just need some training to understand it, and use it to your best advantage. The training is mindfulness training. Every few days another article on the benefits of mindfulness hits the news. In […]
There is nothing easy about informing your client that you’ve made a mistake. It can be tempting to put off the difficult conversation in hopes that something will change or somehow the mistake will go away. Unfortunately, things are not likely to get better, and delay will only compound the problem. After contacting your malpractice […]
