As for so many, the pandemic was a point of both inflection and reflection for me. During that period, I realized that while I truly enjoyed my role, and was deeply connected to the firm and its people, the aspect of my position that I loved most was working with people on their career development, particularly coaching and my other one-on-one interactions with attorneys. It was the occasion to gain clarity about what I wanted next – which I determined was an opportunity to focus on coaching, while still leveraging my varied experience in law firm management, BD, legal recruiting, and DE&I, among other dimensions. In the same way that my career evolved from practicing as an attorney to developing and leading the talent function at my former firm, moving into a full-time coaching role was the next evolution of what I do best and what I enjoy most.

I have worked with a lot of consultants and coaches over the course of my career in legal talent, and Greiner Consulting Group's reputation really stood out. And, having focused on talent development, I like to think I have a good eye for talented people – those who bring something unique to the table – and I kept coming back to that as I considered joining the group. I love the mix of people, experience, perspectives, and skills on the team. For instance, the fact that the company has a coach focused on communications and executive presence who is a licensed speech pathologist aligns with the deep commitment to the highest standards of practice in what we offer and positions us to support our clients across an even wider range of professional development interests.
