Learn how to become a
Fully Human Leader™

I share my ideas in The American Lawyer, Bloomberg Law, Corporate Counsel, Law.com, and Business Insider. I also discuss them in podcast and media interviews, as well as in my LinkedIn posts about personal (everyday) leadership.

My Articles & Fully Human Lawyer™ Columns

When the pandemic first started, I wrote an article to help our profession “humanize itself” during that uncertain and scary time. It was a top-trender on The American Lawyer for weeks. The legal profession’s tremendous response revealed a hunger for real-life, practical advice about how to leverage our common humanity to drive performance.
