From Legal Technician to Visionary Leader

What does it really take to go from excellent lawyer to trusted leader of your own firm?

I recently had the chance to reflect on that very question in a conversation with Bridgit Norris for her Built to Lead series - and this one goes deep.

This isn’t about ticking more off your to-do list. It’s about shifting who you believe you are.

Together we explored:

✔️ The journey from doer to designer of your business
✔️ Why delegation isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom
✔️ How trust unlocks both team loyalty and client confidence
✔️ The role of visibility (especially in Japan!) in shaping opportunity
✔️ What it means to lead on your own terms as a woman in law

One quote I shared in the episode that’s stuck with others:

“If you want loyalty, you have to lead with trust—not tasks.”

And I stand by that.

If you're at a pivot point in your practice or simply feel there's more ahead, this conversation is for you.
