The Social Lawyer Show, Reloaded and Ready...

Picture this: A Danish lawyer-and-yoga guru and a Swedish lawyer who's a LinkedIn whiz (yours truly) almost walk into a Greek bar. The Swede asks, "Skall vi leka?" (That's "Shall we play?" for the non-Vikings out there.)

Plot twist: No bar, no Greece (I wish!), but my podcast, is back with a bang! I'm not stretching the truth when I say I chatted with a Danish legal eagle who swapped biglaw courtroom battles in Denmark for yoga mats in Greece, balancing law and warrior poses like a pro.

Tune in to hear Laura Lange's journey from legal burnout to bliss on The Social Lawyer Show – available wherever you get your podcast fix. No subpoena required! 🎧👩⚖️🧘♀️

Now, let's get ready for a mix of practical tools, insightful curations, and a spotlight on three standout lawyers who are making waves on LinkedIn. These stories are not just inspiring but packed with actionable tips you can use.

Let's dive in!

1️⃣ TOOL, TIP, TACTIC

First up, You are not the default lawyer, am I right? I am.

Don't settle for LinkedIn's default headline pulled from your Experience section. You're more than just a title! Your headline, along with your high-res, friendly profile picture, is the first impression you make on LinkedIn, both on your profile and in comments elsewhere. Maximize those 220 characters to showcase the real you. Make every character count!

There's a way to make this pop, professional, and meaningful. If you'd like the full(er) scoop and detail head over to my juicier Lawyers L[a]unch & Learn newsletter where I'll give you the keys to the Headline kingdom (along with other LinkedIn treasures) 👉 right here

2️⃣ TWO CURATIONS: NEWS AND UPDATES

1 / Apple's new tool, Ferret, is an open-source, multimodal machine learning model. It lets you highlight a part of an image, then identifies and outlines important elements in that area.

Think of it as a detective for your photos, pinpointing and understanding picture details. Excited to explore this – what are your thoughts?

2 / In this week's Lawyer's Brief: We're diving into the latest from LinkedIn – and there's plenty, with over 200 updates this year! Don't miss exploring the new custom button links for creator mode profiles. Now, you've got updated choices for that custom click on your top panel. In the our weekly meeting, we explore the various buttons, customizations and I show where this all resides and how to update to meet your particular goals on LinkedIn.

3️⃣ TOP THREE LINKEDIN LAWYER SPOTLIGHTS

Meet an Estate Planning Attorney, Author, and Guest News Analyst with a zeal for education that rivals Clark Griswold's enthusiasm! She's eyeing a podcast venture but knows it's a time investment, so she's eager for guest appearances.

Picture this: a Peloton-enthusiast lawyer, often spotted in vibrant plaids, with her maltipoo, Peter Jennings, by her side. Why not connect with her?

If you're ever in need of a pick-me-up, Min's your go-to lawyer. Not only is he a whiz with contracts and clauses, but he's also the quickest wit in the legal world, guaranteed to entertain in just a few words.

Recently, he shared a heartwarming story: his 10-year-old and four buddies held a secret ballot to crown the 'Best Dad' – and Min won! Clearly, he's doing something right, and it's easy to see why he clinched that title.

Lenor, Hitachi's Sr Litigation Counsel, isn't just a legal powerhouse. She's also a creative force, having clinched the NY Law Journal's legal fiction writing contest with her story "Sue Generous." Her profile is a treasure trove of genuine, unfiltered brilliance.

But be warned: if your schedule's tight, tread carefully – her captivating content might just keep you hooked for longer than planned. Go see for yourself!

And what's new from the corner of #LawBizViv...

In case you couldn't tell, I'm thrilled to announce the comeback of my podcast, The Social Lawyer show after a two-year break. It's a fantastic opportunity to connect with and learn from extraordinary lawyers who are shaking things up in unique ways.

We're starting strong with a standout episode featuring a daring Danish lawyer who's juggling a thriving law practice and a yoga studio in sunny Athens. And guess what? Laura Lange hinted at hosting us this summer for some baklava and ouzo indulgence in Greece. Okay, she didn't exactly say that, but why not put it out into the universe, right?

Here's to your thriving practice of law and life!
