"..Nancy Jones lowered the stress of law practice"

Meeting Nancy Byerly Jones, retaining her services and listening to her advice, has helped to transform my law practice.

I have been practicing law for 30 years but realized that some of my practices were becoming antiquated and I needed to freshen up my processes and needed a sounding board to make those decisions. Nancy came into my law firm, interviewed my staff, listened to me, and was giving vitally important advice on day one. I didn’t always like to hear it – but I needed to.

Over the next two years, I effectively cut overhead, and implemented a variety of internal law firm practices. Over time, I became more productive, efficient, and profitable, but more importantly, Nancy Jones lowered the stress of law practice.

I now consult Nancy for one hour twice a month and have found those sessions to be important to institutionalize the necessary change.

Nancy Byerly Jones will not come into your law firm with pixie dust or a magic wand. And, she requires consistent commitment from the attorney – her model is definitely a collaborative one. But if you are like me and you realize that change is necessary, retaining NBJ Consulting is an excellent decision.

"..publications like yours help bring perspective."

This weekend I pulled out my copy of  your “Easy Self-Audits for the Busy Law Office.”  It was helpful to me to review many of the sections in that in trying to think through my options.  You did the legal community a service in putting that together. I hope others haven’t forgotten what a resource it can be.

I meant all I said as I am not given to false flattery. I have had your book sitting in a bookcase in front of my desk for how many years I don’t know – long enough I still have the 3½ floppy disks too! It’s way too easy to get caught up in the day to day bustle and lose sight of the bigger picture, and publications like yours help bring perspective.

"Nancy is the kind of person you would want to have as a coach."

I feel extremely honored by having met Nancy in January 2022 on zoom in our Vegan Lifestyle Coach and Educator Class (VLCE) through Victoria Moran’s Mainstreet Vegan Academy. Nancy is the kind of person you would want to have as a coach. She is understanding, extremely knowledgeable, very down to earth, empathetic and thoughtful in the way she shares her knowledge and experiences with others. If she offers suggestions to you about any concern you might be struggling with she will definitely follow-up with how you are handling the situation(s) without prying or being pushy.

Even though we have not met in person yet, I can honestly say I feel as if I have known Nancy for many years. I look forward to our continued relationship through our shared interests.

"Her coaching style is very kind, upbeat and supportive."

When I met Nancy in our Healthy World Vitality Plan (HWVP) class it was very clear she has had considerable experience dealing with and encouraging people. I’ve enjoyed being in class with her again this spring where she is serving as a HWVP coach. Nancy has shared many nutritious and tasty recipes with the group. She also is very responsive to any inquiries and offers relevant resources for those that are interested in learning more. In addition to sharing tips for healthy eating, her enthusiasm for rowing and staying active is very contagious. Nancy demonstrates a strong dedication to living a vital, healthy vegan life. Her coaching style is very kind, upbeat and supportive. Her knowledge and experience can help you become healthier through plant-based eating and other lifestyle changes.

(part 1)

I am thrilled to express my utmost admiration for Nancy and her whole food plant-based lifestyle coaching. I met Nancy through the Main Street Vegan Academy, and we connected over our love of indoor rowing (Nancy is a passionate advocate and example for the miracle of indoor rowing!), and our love for animals. We developed a lovely friendship, and Nancy is now my coach in the Healthy World Vitality Plan. As a passionate advocate for leading a compassionate and vitality-filled lifestyle, Nancy's warmth, positivity, and unwavering love for animals and people truly shine through in her coaching.

I have an uncle who's looking for a legal consultant to help evaluate and conduct some reports next month. I'm glad you elaborated on hiring a law office consultant, and why we'd look for one that has past experience and an excellent reputation, so I'll email this to my uncle right now. I appreciate your advice on what to consider when hiring a legal consultant.

"Your service far surpassed my expectations.."

Your service far surpassed my expectations…It was the best and probably the most important experience of my professional life! …About your book — Easy Self-Audits for the Busy Law Office — Every lawyer would benefit from just reading this book. If lawyers were to complete the audits and honestly answer each and every question, the book would change their lives. Bluntly put, it should be required reading — yearly. Every lawyer should have at least one copy, one thoroughly used copy!
