Here's to identifying the impact of #mentalhealth challenges on the wellbeing of #lawyers. Our health beliefs and behaviors are connected to our culture.

I just wrote a letter: Tell Law360 Management: Stop the Threats and Delays!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-l…

An excerpt from the book Richard Nixon gifted The Queen. #leadership

Useful #businessdevelopment observations on how #lawyers and law firms can address challenges. The presence of a strong, diverse and supportive BD plan truly deepens our understanding. globallegalpost.com/news/no-more-b…

After examining Structural Issues in #LawFirm #Management with CC, lawyers, BD professionals and academics at Fordham University School of Law with Mattos Filho, it's time to RISE to the Academy for the Advancement of #WomeninLaw: lnkd.in/eQ2pkKdZ. #leadership

As law firms engage in wellness talk, naming “it” is key. “Shame hates it when we reach out and tell our story… having words wrapped around it. Shame loves secrecy. When we bury our story, the shame metastasizes,” says Brené Brown. lawgazette.co.uk/benchmarks/bri… #lawyers #mentalheath

In a @BLaw Insight, I argue how frequently handling traumatic litigation, litigators pay an unseen cost to uphold justice. Often, they lack training to detect and address the mental changes that result from stress. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/ho… #wellness #litigation #mentalhealth

Cancer Twitter: I’m going into hospital Sunday for 16 days for final chemotherapy cycle/stem cell harvesting ahead of stem cell replacement 4-6 wks in Oct. Feeling daunted tho’ lucky to be in final stages. I have Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Would love to hear from fellow travellers.

One semester closer to graduation. Let’s talk healthy management in litigation. #wellness #MentalHealthAwareness

Not long ago, #litigationPR was an extravagance. In today’s sharp online climate, it’s crucial. Given digital #comm swiftness, seizing the narrative often & early is key. Howard Levitt shows how lawyers can advocate a client’s case in and out of court. lnkd.in/gK2wxK92

@KarynHarty You’re a brilliant rock star! 💫💫

As lawyers face pressure to develop a book of biz and deliver excellent representation, how realistic is it to depend exclusively on virtual settings? The risk is that the human touch will suffer. Kudos ⁦@CanLawMag⁩’s Fernando Garcia. #leadership canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion/w…

It was wonderful to share the spotlight with many legal experts specially my co-moderator Edgar Espejel. I contributed #comms insights affecting #lawfirm strategies and business models, urging management to understand their baseline. Know your brand’s bottom line. #leadership

@CBerthelsen1 Godspeed, @CBerthelsen1. Here’s to continued fulfillment!

Last week on our way to K2 Integrity’s soirée hosted by Frédéric, my Academy Fellow Keith Oliver hailed a cab. It turns out, the Porsche driver doesn’t typically transport people. Check out the URL. Ah, I miss Genève, friends, colleagues’ hospitality & warmth. #wednesdayvibes

On a daily basis, communicators, #lawyers and corporate professionals grapple with decisions about whether to disclose relevant updates. A careful pause and reflection about the difference between poor timing and good timing betokens sound #leadership, I explain via @Law360.

At last week's #IWD2022 event by @TheAcademyBrass, 4 inspiring women spoke about diversity, equity & inclusion within organisations: @KarynHarty, Toni-Jaeger Fine, @gretweets & @ECOStrats. Catch up with the conversation here: youtube.com/watch?v=rLq6H0…

This #FellowFriday we applaud our female leaders and thank them for advancing the rule of law in the #FinancialCrime sphere. 👏👏 Watch our recent conversation on diversity, equity and inclusion: lnkd.in/dxw448RD #TheAcademyBrass #TAFellow #TALitigation

Gracias a Tono Posadas Alburez por charlar comunicación. Las caídas conllevan a compresión y enseñan a respetar reacciones y motivar acción. Como inmigrante por causa de una guerra, me uno con ucrania. lnkd.in/dV8F5Bvq #standwithukraine #IWD2022 #leadershipcommunication
