from 2021-08-05T08:00
Today we have a very special guest joining us. Sophie Alcorn is both a good friend and an incredible lawyer. She has an interesting journey that led her to start her law firm, Alcorn Law.
In this episode, Sophie and I are talking about infusing humanity into the law. As an immigration lawyer, Sophie meets people with incredibly diverse backgrounds every day. This has inspired her to build compassion into her firm.
Sophie now trains her team to do the same. Their goal is to show their clients the same respect and value that they would in any other relationship. Tune in to hear more about how they do this and how you can infuse humanity into your business.
In this episode, you will hear:
- Background on Alcorn Law.
- What led Sophie to become a lawyer.
- Her struggle with compassion fatigue and postpartum depression.
- The relational aspect of law.
- How Sophie and her team go the extra mile with their clients.
- How being a lawyer is like being a therapist at times.
- How Sophie balances compassion with results.
