Law Firms, Get Thy ESG in Order
Environment. Social. Governance. Three simple words that are easy to define. But put together they mean something different and powerful.
ESG for short is about our standards of operation. It can mean different things to different companies and law firms, but it is important, a wave of the future. It’s also on-trend on websites,…
“I am the wife,” I said.
I’ve been meaning to write on this event for years but wanted to give enough time between the conversation and now for anonymity. I share about this conversation often because it is something most women relate to and it has nothing to do with people who sat around the conference room table that day.
Sitting…
Are you there blog? It’s me, Heather
Whew. I am putting fingers to keyboard for the first time in what feels like forever. It was at least a pandemic, a new liver (for the Sports Dude), and an insurrection ago. I don’t even remember when (although I could easily look it up).
Are you still there, dear readers? How are you?…
How To Differentiate Yourself and Your Law Firm as a Legal Marketer
I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Gina Rubel for her new podcast On Record. My topic: How to Differentiate Yourself and Your Law Firm.

I agree, I’m seeing a lot of…
How are you? Is there anything I can do to help?
Wow. How the hell did we wake up to this reality? Coronavirus? COVID-19? You can call it what you want, but I’m sitting here vacillating between “I should have taken the blue pill” and putting on my Sheriff Rick Grimes hat and getting ready to kick some ass.
So how are you doing? Personally,…
Can you pass a purity test?
I often post articles on LinkedIn with a lead in: “If you only have time to read one thing today, this is it.” I started to post this article, “How knitters got knotted in a purity spiral: A process of moral outbidding is corroding small communities from within” this morning, but realize I…
Seriously? 2020 already?
I know, I know, I know. It’s January 2020 and I blogged exactly seven (that’s 7) times last year. WTH??
It boils down to two things:
1. I’ve been really busy.
I started a new job which required a move from Los Angeles to New Orleans. It was my first move in more than 20…
