In this episode we have the pleasure of interviewing Rachel King on the show, and Rachel is the President of King Law Firm Attorneys At Law Incorporated.
Rachel King. Lawyer. Veteran. Entrepreneur. Wife. Mother. Triathlete. Ultra Marathoner. Yogi. In no particular order.
Rachel practices law in California, Arizona, Kentucky, and Texas but she represents clients nationwide and internationally.
She opened her law firm in 2014 after owning multiple companies and achieving success by taking one to million dollar status. To date Rachel’s firm has helped thousands of people and earns in excess of 7 figures annually.
Rachel now works primarily as a strategic litigator in Elder Abuse (financial and physical) and undue Influence, Family Law, Conservatorships, Guardianships, and Will and trust Contests.
Rachel regularly speaks on related legal issues. She was a guest on CBS more than once and was featured in LA Weekly as a Top 10 Industry Expert. Rachel has also been highlighted by San Diego Woman Magazine, US Insider, SD Voyager, CANVAS REBEL, and more. She intends to continue to speak publicly to inform and educate in these highly emotional areas of law.
In today’s episode, Rachel discusses the importance of drawing a line in the sand between when you are wearing your “CEO” hat and when you are working in your business, and act appropriately.
She also dives into the importance of understanding the interpersonal dynamics between not only yourself, but amongst everyone in your office. Not everyone communicate the same way, in fact typically quite different. And without this understand, miscommunication can easily happen.
You have to understand how you lead and your own personality and communication styles so you can better communicate with everyone on the team.
Another key point for Rachel was that you can be friendly with your team, but cannot be friends. In one of her companies, she found herself falling into the friend trap with her employees. This caused excess drama and some of the team members trying to play favorites. Rachel’s new rule is to be “friendly”, but nor “friends”.
