As a lawyer since 2010, barrister since 2012 (now ex-litigation), and certified mediator since 2014, I've witnessed the hidden struggle beneath the polished exterior of legal excellence.
My Harvard training in negotiation, leadership, and how to handle difficult conversations, alongside certifications in high performance, emotional intelligence, and Brene Brown's Dare To Lead methodologies, a Diploma of Leadership and Management and real-world leadership experience, equips me to address what law school never taught us - how to lead.
Through my Lawyers Who Lead Academy, I help technical lawyers become trusted, high-performing, technically excellent, emotionally intelligent, and trusted leaders.
I teach you how to lead yourself and others, manage high-stakes meetings with influence, resolve conflict simply, and build a fulfilling legal career without burning out or selling your soul.
The truth?
Behind closed office doors, brilliant technical lawyers think: "If I'm not perfect, I'll fail." "I can't take a break, or it'll all fall apart." "Everyone will discover I'm not as competent as they think."
Most lawyers are high-achieving perfectionists who chase reputation and financial success while dismissing "human skills" and suppressing vulnerability, which is what trusted leadership demands.
They excel in legal reasoning and running cases but struggle to lead themselves, demanding clients or teams.
They crave respect and making a difference, yet find themselves playing a role, wearing a mask, rather than bringing their whole self to work.
The constant overthinking, the invisible armour, the guilt when prioritising anything other than work — I've seen it all because I've lived it.
Having navigated leadership both within and outside the legal profession, I've created the tools to transform technically brilliant lawyers from overwhelmed, overthinking subject matter experts into authentic, trusted, and influential leaders who master their practice, firm, businesses, and lives without working longer hours and selling their souls.
