Happy Persons Day!!! On this day in 1929, the Fam Happy Persons Day!!!

On this day in 1929, the Famous Five changed our country forever. On that day, women were declared Persons under the Canadian Constitution. 

We are forever grateful for the fearless persistence of Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney, and Henrietta Muir Edwards.

May their story inspire your own fearless persistence!  Join us to celebrate the Famous Five on October 26th where @samantha_no_mundo will give the Keynote Speech on why the Persons Case changed Canada. Follow the link in the bio @enterthegardenofeven for tickets!

Want to immediately improve your law firm’s cultur Want to immediately improve your law firm’s culture? Try banning the word “busy.” 

In the legal profession, “I’m so busy” has become our default, automatic response when someone asks how we’re doing. But “busy” doesn’t invite real reflection, nor does it build meaningful connection with our colleagues.  
What if, instead of hiding behind “busy,” we were authentic?

“I’m feeling a bit stressed right now because I have a trial coming up and an evidence issue I’m working through.”  

That small shift opens the door for real empathy, collaboration, and actual support.

I’m excited to dive deeper into this topic next week! Join me and my incredible fellow panelists at the Canadian Legal Summit on Wednesday, October 14th.  

We’ll be speaking in the Small & Medium Law Firm stream about Talent Management. (Spoiler: Firm culture is a huge part of why people stay!)  

Hope to see you there!
