https://youtu.be/M-10IvCb3d0 Are you new to the profession and at the perceived bottom of the hierarchy ladder, feeling voiceless, powerless? Do you trust your leaders? Do you feel safe at work every day? Do you feel protected and allowed to be yourself? Is it possible for you to be a leader? Do you hold a position of seniority, you have made your way up the hierarchical ladder in the profession, and believe you are automatically a 'leader"? Whats the difference between leadership, position/authority? Louise is inspired by Simon Sinek (Leadership Expert) and Brendon Burchard (High Performance Institute) on what makes a leader? Who can be a leader?

Lawyers Are Taught To Dehumanise! Lets Be Exemplary Human Role Models
https://youtu.be/txVRKufJYfI Summary: Summary: Lawyers are taught to dehumanise from law school, where emotions and human skills are devalued and dismissed, thought of as unnecessary in practice and technicality seen as the only skill required for greatness (of course technicality is necessary). A high standard of humanity is required to be great people, leaders, role models in the world and in law. Our staff, clients, colleagues, counterparts, families, friends are depending on us to show up as our best selves in practice to serve them with excellence. . Lawyer's aren't literally killing people at work through dehumanisation, however, lawyers may be dehumanising others and not even know they are doing it! This vlog provides 3 vital skills to ensure you get on the ramp or road to role model greatness as they will begin the path for greater humanity in law. We are all humans with responsibilities and accountability to other humans and therefore can't act … [Read more...]

Like Fingernails On A Blackboard? Judge After Listening… Not Before!
https://youtu.be/UlH7Zv8gJY8 Click on Title or go to www.sydneybarrister.net.au/blog/ Have you got 10.28 secs to listen? Don't automatically think that whatever is said in the vlog 'it won't work for me" or "its human skills" (blah)!
