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!

How does your firm encourage real connection over default answers? Let’s discuss in the comments.

Some seeds can lie dormant buried in the ground fo Some seeds can lie dormant buried in the ground for years, even centuries, waiting for the right conditions to take root. When they do, the first root to emerge is called the radicle.

It anchors and stretches the seed to make growth possible.

The Persons Case was one of those "radicle" moments. In 1929, five Canadian women challenged the conventional wisdom of their time that women could not be considered “persons”, and therefore not eligible for appointment to the Senate. Their lawyer challenged generations of legal precedent to argue that Canada’s Constitution must be capable of evolving with society giving us what is known as the "living tree doctrine". 

Together with Garden of Even, Seabrook Workplace Law is proud to present:

Radicle Personhood™ 2026: Unconventional Wisdom
Persons' Day, Monday, October 26

By examining the stories and beliefs at the root of our assumptions and practices, we can better understand how institutions can be re-rooted for a better future.

This year’s conversation features the Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, former Chief Justice of Canada, whose own extraordinary career challenged assumptions about who could occupy the highest positions of authority in Canadian law.

They do conferences a little different in Brasil 🇧 They do conferences a little different in Brasil 🇧🇷 

Yesterday I went to the @mentoringleaguesociety Festival in São Paulo at the amazing Palmeiras stadium! It was a day of incredible energy. MLS is the top entrepreneur mentoring program in Brasil led by three of the best Brazilian entrepreneurs - @joeljota, @caiocarneiro and @flavioaugustogv! 

A special thank you to @instituto.rosadosventos and @clinicasalutares.com.br for inviting me to experience the event from the Premium Pista.

As Joel Jota, Caio Carneiro, and Flávio Augusto da Silva ran through a roll call for audience members from every region of Brazil. I kept my hand ready, they skipped asking if anyone made the trip down from Canada.🇨🇦 Next time! 

The insights shared from the stage were practical and sharp:
 * Joel Jota focused on maintaining a teachable heart, keeping an open agenda, and staying obedient to your goals.
 * Caio Carneiro celebrated his 40th birthday on stage and shared that life starts when you are ready to begin, not at a certain age. Stop waiting and just start.
 * Flavio Augusto highlighted the importance of keeping sales as the primary engine of your business and building your own category in the market.

Para os nossos palestrantes e organizadores:
Muito obrigada pelo convite e por essa experiência incrível. O evento trouxe aprendizados valiosos sobre negócios e execução. Um grande abraço do Canadá para Joel Jota, Caio Carneiro, Flavio Augusto, Instituto Internacional Rosas dos Ventos, Clínica Salutares, @anavlisterrci e @suelenpxanticosusque!
