“…listen.”

“The #1 piece of career advice I ever received was to listen.

I was told to listen carefully to my clients, to my colleagues and to my support staff. This is not an easy skill to learn particularly as lawyers have a tendency to want to get to solutions. It was sage advice as listening really is one of the foundational skills for any successful practice.”
