In the latest episode of The Jabot podcast, I talk with Donna Wilson, recently elected managing partner and CEO of Manatt. We talk about why developing your emotional IQ is one of the best things you can do for your career, what the future holds for the legal industry, what Biglaw firms must do to embrace diversity, and so much more!
The podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Let’s be real — it can suck out there. So we want to create a space where our community can come together share stories, find support and devise strategies.
Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wears when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that — even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.
