Wake Up Call (The Reboot)

68. #FEMSQUIRE Series: FL Divorce + Personal Injury Lawyer Christina McKinnon, Esq.


Listen Later

Christina McKinnon was a feisty young lawyer who started her own law firm shortly after law school when her peers were just finding their way to court. While Christina insists that she's not as feisty as she used to be, there is no evidence to support that. What Christina calls "feisty" is what has allowed her to evolve into a bold, charismatic woman with a gutsy business acumen and fierce determination to succeed. (One example: closing down her law firm to take a maternity leave and then starting another one).  Christina talks about her evolution from feisty to fierce, including her experience with personal and professional coaching.  

Included in this conversation: 

  • Childhood dream of becoming a lawyer
  • Seeing herself as the "orator" at church as a kid
  • This FL girl was in Michigan for a hot (er, cold) minute
  • Short stint at a "job" after law school
  • Starting her own law firm right out of the gate
  • Biggest lessons she learned early in her entrepreneur-ship
  • Influence of a strong mother 
  • When it was time to engage in professional coaching
  • Her vision for the firm and how that has changed
  • Business managerial challenges 
  • Personnel management (hiring and firing) 
  • Building a practice vs. a business

  • Her personal style in handling divorce cases 
  • How mindset affects your bottomline
