    #0174: So You Wanna Join the C-Suite: Episode 7 — Bad Advice & Broken Playbooks

    Not all advice ages well—and some never worked to begin with. In this episode, we take a breather from the intensity of executive life to laugh (and learn) from the leadership myths we’ve outgrown. - What’s the worst leadership advice you’ve ever received—and how did it backfire? - Which “must-do” turned out to be totally irrelevant in practice? - What books or frameworks overpromised, and what actually moved the needle? - And what leadership habit did you finally ditch—that changed everything? This episode lightens the tone before we dive into burnout and future-facing themes, offering a refreshing reminder: growth often begins with letting go.

    #0173: (CT) Making Pilots Fly: Part 2 - Executing Pilots

    This session focused on what happens after a legal tech pilot launches—and why so many well‑planned pilots quietly stall during execution.   Designed for project managers and program leaders, the discussion moves beyond task tracking and timelines to examine how pilots succeed (or fail) based on adoption, behavior change, and clarity around the business problem being solved. We explored common execution pitfalls—unclear expectations, over‑reliance on reluctant or “voluntold” participants, scope creep, and overlooking the human side of change—and how these issues show up once a pilot is underway.   The conversation highlighted practical execution practices, including setting and reinforcing clear expectations, building and maintaining a pilot tester pool, creating space for reflection between pilot and rollout, and applying change management throughout. Listeners come away with concrete ways to assess pilot health while it’s underway—and know how, when, and where to intervene to keep pilots productive, make them fly, or course‑correct with confidence.

    #0168: So You Wanna Join the C-Suite: Episode 6 — PEOPLE RISK: Developing Leaders Without Creating Disasters

    Leadership development is a long game—and when it’s rushed or misaligned, the consequences ripple far beyond one role. In this episode, we explore the delicate art of growing future leaders without leaving a trail of collateral damage. - How do you spot leadership potential early—and nurture it with intention, not assumption? - What happens when a promotion doesn’t go as planned? We share a moment we missed the mark, and what we’d do differently now. - How do you model leadership culture instead of simply managing tasks? - And how do you balance mentoring others while still delivering your own results? This mid-series episode zooms out to examine the broader impact of leadership decisions—on teams, culture, and the leaders we’re shaping for tomorrow. If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between growth and risk, this one’s for you.

    #0166: (CT) Making Pilots Fly: Why Planning Matters More Than Ever

    Why do some legal tech pilots soar while others stall? This session explored what it takes to design pilots that lead to lasting change. The speakers looked at lessons from success and failure, balancing risk reduction and validation with the need to test business hypotheses - not just tools. With GenAI and other emerging technologies, the stakes are higher than ever: MIT research shows 95% of pilots fail to deliver measurable ROI, and legal tech is no exception. Listen as they discussed how sponsorship, culture, and clear outcomes can turn pilots into launchpads for adoption.

    #0165: (CT) ILTA Just-in-Time: Why Firms Need to Upskill Internal "AI Editors"

    As Generative AI moves from pilot to practice, firms need to equip their teams with a new skill set: the ability to serve as “AI editors." Firms need to think about how to train their teams to review and validate AI-supported work to ensure accuracy, ethics, and client trust. This podcast explored why this skill set is critical, how firms can upskill attorneys to do it, and practical steps to maintain quality and keep matters moving fast.  Moderator: @Patrick DiDomenico - Founder & CEO, InspireKM Consulting Speaker: @Kathy Harford - Senior Knowledge Lawyer - Innovation & IP, Stevens-Bolton Recorded on 03-05-2026.

    #0164: (CT) Managing Constant Change on the Desktop

    The pace of technology updates can be difficult to keep up with. From security vulnerabilities that must be addressed in operating systems or specific software, to feature enhancements and critical bug fixes. While automatic updates offer convenience, they can also introduce unexpected disruptions. How does a firm stay current with constant changes while still maintaining productivity and focus on core work? In this podcast episode, we explored how organizations can strategically manage ongoing updates, minimize risk, and create processes that keep teams informed without overwhelming them.

    #0162: So You Wanna Join the C-Suite: Episode 5 — TRUST ECONOMY: Influence Without Overselling

    In leadership, trust isn’t a given—it’s earned, protected, and sometimes rebuilt. This episode gets practical about the quiet power of credibility and how to lead without playing politics. - How do you build trust with IT, attorneys, and senior leadership—without overplaying your hand? - What do you do when you're caught off guard, and your credibility is on the line? - What are the trade-offs between being liked and being respected—and how do you navigate them with intention? - And what happens when trust breaks down? We share a moment that didn’t go as planned, and the lessons that followed. This episode earns its place in the series by grounding listeners in the real work of influence—before we dive into heavier leadership terrain. If you’ve ever led from the middle, the margins, or the hot seat, this one’s for you.

    #0161: (CT) To AFA or Not to AFA, That is the Question

    For decades, people have been suggesting that the death of the billable hour was inevitable.  Evan Chesler said, “[t]he billable hour makes no sense, not even for lawyers” in his 2008 Forbes article "Kill the Billable Hour.” We haven't seen a lot of movement since that article, but with the explosion of GenAI in legal, there has been increased discussion and focus suggesting that AFAs will replace the billable hour. Will we be looking back on this time in 20 years and saying, “Remember when we thought the billable hour would go the way of the dodo bird?” Moderator: @Michael Ertel - Director of Practice Innovation, Crowell & Moring    Speakers: @Jared Applegate - Chief Legal Operations Officer, Barnes & Thornburg @Purvi Sanghvi - Director of Strategic Pricing, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP @Cassie Vertovec - Chief Practice Management Officer, Loeb & Loeb LLP Recorded on 02-23-26.

    #0154: (CT) ILTA Just-in-Time: 'Beyonce-ify' Your Information Governance Program

    Have you ever heard the saying, "We all have the same 24 hours in a day?" The problem is, we know that's not true. Beyoncé, for example, has a whole team of people to eliminate tasks and burdens from her life, leaving more time to focus on what she wants. IG programs need to “Beyoncé-ify” their workflows, i.e., develop procedures that reduce the burden of the incoming work to create bandwidth for other projects. AI has thrust Legal’s ROT problem into the spotlight, but who has time to clear out old data when hundreds of requests come through daily? This session highlighted case studies and insights from firms that have implemented a proactive approach, including how they got leadership's go-ahead and what they learned.   Moderator: @Sarah Prause - Information Governance Senior Analyst, Latham & Watkins Speaker: @Crystal McFarland - Director of IG, Taft, Stettinius & Hollister LLP Recorded on 01-27-2026.

    #0153: So You Wanna Join the C Suite, Episode 3: CHAOS THEORY: When Leadership Doesn’t Match the Brochure

    Leadership often comes wrapped in glossy language—vision, impact, influence. But behind the brochure lies a messier truth. In this episode, we step into the stories executives rarely tell: the moments that looked impressive on paper but felt anything but behind the scenes. - That “C-suite moment” that checked every box—except the one labeled fulfillment - The disconnect between expectations and reality, and how leaders navigate the emotional fallout - The conversations you wish you could have had, but didn’t - And the quiet recalibrations that keep you grounded when everything around you feels off-script This episode moves past the polished narrative and into the lived experience of executive leadership. If you’ve ever felt like the role didn’t match the promise, you’re not alone—and this conversation proves it.

    Ambition can be a powerful force—but when myths and missteps fuel it, the climb to the top can feel more like a trap than a triumph. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on executive leadership and ask: What’s really behind the chase for the title? - Why would anyone actively pursue C-Suite roles? - What are the wrong reasons to chase the C-suite—and how can you spot them before they derail your path? - What did we think mattered in landing the role, only to discover it didn’t? - And when the pressure peaks, have we ever considered walking away? What made us stay? This episode hooks aspiring leaders early with honest reflections and hard-earned wisdom. If you’ve ever wondered whether the title is worth the trade-offs, this conversation is for you.
