In the fall of 2017, I offered WILL for the first time after the pilot group. I held a webinar and four people registered. I’ll admit that my heart sank when only two women showed up. Then it plunged further when one person dropped off. Only one remained. That person...

I bumped into a friend at the farmers market last weekend.  While we stood in line to stock up for Thanksgiving, he asked about my business.  As last week honored Women's Entrepreneurship Day, I shared how much I love being an entrepreneur, and had an epiphany that I...

Recently, we got a puppy and met up with a couple who got one from the same litter.  As we chatted, with masks on, I got this feeling that the woman might be a lawyer.   The conversation turned to what we did for work and I shared about WILL.  The wife got a funny...

I shot this video the morning after learning of the Biden-Harris victory.  I stayed up way too late, cheering for our new President, Vice President-elect and watching SNL. I want to talk about our Madam Vice President-elect Kamala Harris for a moment. One of the...

This week on our WILL Community Call we talked about the only thing we can control… Ourselves. I’m not going to lie, on Tuesday my back was in spam (perhaps because I was holding my breath?). I took to bed with a heating pad, butter pecan ice cream and rewatched one...

I recorded a short video for you about two things I want to share with you as we approach this election. The first is why I do WILL. The second is what I hear from women lawyers as to why they do WILL. First, the reason I do WILL is that I feel truly called to do...

This week I was supposed to travel for a retreat with my mentor. Instead, she held it virtually from her apartment in Paris and I decided hit the road and use the time for a get-away.  So I rented a cottage by the sea and Zoomed in from Montauk.   When waffling...

Recently a WILL member said this… "Law firms train associates to feel small.  But rather than let them have the power and control, I NOW KNOW, that in fact, I am in control here." It took her awhile to arrive at this realization.  It’s hard to believe you are in...

I spoke with Sarah this week.  She lives in Seattle. One of the things she said she wanted was to take a vacation. "When’s the last time you took one?" I asked. She paused, eyes looking up and to the right... (thinking, thinking, thinking). "I can’t remember." Does...

A question that WILL members tackle is "when is the right time to leave big law". When you want to leave, yet your fear runs the show,  you’ll make excuse after excuse. You’ll rationalize your way into staying. (Have you done that hundreds of times?) The truth is,...

After watching some Sarah Cooper videos on YouTube the other night, a video of her from 2017 popped into my feed. Apparently, she worked at Google and had her big breakthrough when she wrote a meme and then a book about "How to Look Smart in Meetings." The key point...
