Everyday Gestures Driving Positive Change with Tiffany Yarde

Tiffany Yarde joins me on the first episode of 2019 to discuss the every day gestures through which marketing professionals can push for positive change. Our conversation touches on team building, career development, and diversity and inclusion. Rather than look solely to grand programmatic or policy solutions, we explore the quotidian efforts that leaders and junior team members can employ to drive change in individuals’ careers while expanding diversity at their firms and throughout the industry.

Externally Facing Salespeople in Legal with Greg Fleischmann

Greg Fleischmann discussing externally facing salespeople in the legal industry on the Legal Marketing Studio Podcast, July 2018 NYC.

In this episode, Greg Fleischmann, Chief Marketing Officer at Lowenstein Sandler LLP, makes the point that few lawyers went to law school because they want to sell. He and I discuss the potential of bringing externally facing salespeople into law firms so that lawyers can spend more of their time doing the high quality work that is central to a firm’s success. Our discussion covers the challenges that such a role creates as well as the very real opportunities.

We move on quickly to the heart of the conversation: a discussion of diversity in the legal industry. We touch on the need for advancing diversity not only among the ranks of attorneys (particularly leadership) but also among legal marketing teams. Our conversation touches on the business imperative of having a diverse firm, what it means to be a diverse firm and the processes and systems that will be needed to bring about diverse firms.
