Episode 310 – Pandemic Productivity Tips with Jennifer Gersch

Feeling overwhelmed and less than productive in your at-home office? This high-energy podcast might have the solution you are looking for. In this show, Tracy interviews Jennifer Gersch, a partner at Nicol, Gersch, and Peterson in Colorado, about working remotely from home with spark and style. She begins setting the scene by returning to when the COVID-19 shutdowns starting clicking into place.

Jennifer had to return early from maternity leave to help transition the office to a coronavirus-appropriate remote work system but explains that they already had a highly digital work scheme, which was a huge help. As she explains why that system was already in place, listeners are given a fabulous list of inspirations for working-from-home productivity.

Before COVID-19 news hit the airwaves, Jennifer and her law partner identified as visionaries in how they wanted to structure their firm. Therefore, they crafted a system that diverged from old-school law offices and felt more adjustable for clients who couldn’t take three hours from the afternoon to drive across town and meet. Because they were already utilizing virtual client meetings, she is able to discuss several pros to this arrangement, including a closing and payments system so much better that Jennifer insists she’ll never go back to the old way. She also talks split-screen techniques, virtual file markups, and more smart ways to get to a place where digital might actually be working better than in-office systems.

So listen in for an attitude adjustment and envision a digital office that will work for you.
