Designed for law firm senior associates & new partners, or corporate executives in expanded roles, this session addresses the shift from delivering results to leading others to deliver. In fast-paced environments, technical excellence isn’t enough; leaders must communicate with influence, manage across levels, and align their impact with business goals. Participants will walk away with heightened awareness and tools to influence up, down, and across in high-stakes settings, as well as practical strategies to lead teams while maintaining high performance standards.

High performers are often praised for delivering results under pressure. Often, the very habits that got them here can become unsustainable as roles grow and demands multiply. This session helps participants pause, assess what’s fueling their leadership and performance today with the 5Ps of High Performance, and recalibrate toward leadership that’s both high-impact and sustainable. Participants walk away with tools to examine how they think and lead under pressure, so they can sharpen their decision-making and lead themselves and others with more intention and purpose.

Cultural beliefs and values often instill a sense of pride, community, and drive, but they can also manifest as overwhelming pressures and create restrictive mindsets, such as perfectionism, fear of failure and the need to constantly prove one’s value. This session helps participants identify the narratives they’ve internalized and teaches them how to harness the empowering aspects while reframing those that no longer serve them. Attendees will gain strategies to balance their values with organizational demands, creating a leadership style that is both authentic and impactful.

Strong leaders don’t just perform; they create the conditions for others to perform, unlock their potential and stay. This session focuses on the leadership habits that drive team effectiveness and retention in high-pressure environments: clear expectations, consistent communication including giving & receiving feedback, and trust. Participants will walk away with clarity on what drives performance and retention on their teams, everyday habits that support engagement without lowering the bar and practical approaches to lead with both accountability and connection.

This interactive session equips participants with the tools to rethink confidence as self-trust and capability in action rather than the absence of doubt. Through practical strategies, they will learn how to shift limiting beliefs including the “imposter” narrative, communicate with clarity, and expand their influence and impact. Attendees will leave with immediately applicable tools to navigate high-pressure situations with more ease and authority.
