Approach 4??: Focus on others and how you can support them; consider what they might be going through Approach 5??: Focus on solutions rather than problems; find opportunities and possibilities everywhere; recognize there is value in everything that happens Approach 6??: Bring everyone together, recognizing they're really one cohesive unit; trust your team fully; enjoy the process Which approach could you lean into more as we close out 2024 and kick off 2025? #LeadershipDevelopment #LeadershipCoach #AttorneysofLinkedIn ?

As plaintiffs’ lawyers, not only do we get the privilege of helping those in need, but we get to drive change. The more we hold defendants accountable, the harder they work to make their stores, products, and drugs safe. But if we want large-scale change in the right direction, we need to bring the fight to Tallahassee. That’s why I’m proud to be an FJA Eagle. The FJA takes on the big picture issues, so that we can keep fighting for our clients. ??
