Doug McClure, Senior Counsel at Northrop Grumman, shares lessons learned from more than two decades of in-house practice across heavy industry, infrastructure, and now one of the world's largest aerospace and defence contractors.Doug reflects on his eight years supporting Northrop Grumman's European operations—navigating a highly regulated, high-stakes sector that demands clarity, trust, and creativity. He begins with the cornerstone of his approach: communication. Doug explains why over-communicating, building personal credibility, and managing expectations are non-negotiable for in-house lawyers, particularly when working across global teams and cultural contexts.His second lesson is all about solutions. Saying “no” is sometimes necessary, but more often than not, Doug argues, the real skill is finding a way forward—even if it means finding a “third way” that balances business ambition with risk.Finally, Doug talks about the importance of managing expectations: balancing competing priorities, under-promising and over-delivering, and ensuring stakeholders feel heard—especially in the high-pressure, fast-changing world of defence procurement.Guest Recommendations: • Podcast: The Rest is History – Doug particularly enjoyed the episode on Hannibal and the Battle of Cannae • Book: Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari – An engrossing exploration of how humans have adapted and shaped the worldAbout Heriot Brown: Heriot Brown is a leading global recruitment business specialising in the in-house legal market.

Nick Havers, General Counsel for Europe and now also Managing Principal at Lockton, the world's largest privately owned insurance brokers, shares three sharp, experience-driven lessons shaped across more than a decade in the insurance broking sector. Nick's recent promotion to Managing Principal, an honour usually reserved for client-facing, revenue-generating leaders, is a milestone not just for him, but for how lawyers are recognised as true business partners at Lockton. His elevation sends a powerful message: in-house legal leaders can and should have a seat at the table, valued alongside commercial leadership. Now sitting on the European Executive Committee of Lockton, Nick reflects on what it means to be a lawyer trusted by the business. He shares how his first in-house GC taught him the power of “making your boss look good”, a mindset rooted in empathy, clarity, and teamwork that has stayed with him ever since. Nick also unpacks the value of curiosity: why asking more questions than you answer leads to better outcomes, how to build relationships across a complex organisation, and how his team uses internal branding and training to market legal's value across the business. In a standout final lesson, Nick reminds us that not everything valuable is visible. Some of legal's best work is in the crises that never materialise. His advice on combining hard work with strategic messaging, and showing how your team contributes to long-term growth, is a masterclass in modern in-house leadership.Guest Recommendation: • Book: Authentic Happiness by Martin Seligman – A toolkit for optimism, self-awareness, and signature strengthsAbout Heriot Brown: Heriot Brown is a leading global recruitment business specialising in the in-house legal market.

Pola Karolczyk, General Counsel and Chief People Officer at Cowboy, joins Scott to share her dynamic legal journey: from competition law in Poland and US law firms, to regulatory work at Apple, and now building the legal and people functions at a fast-moving e-bike scaleup. Pola reflects on three powerful lessons, beginning with the need to ditch legal jargon and speak human. She learned early on that most people, especially in business, aren't interested in the mechanics of the law, just the outcome. This mindset has shaped her ability to communicate clearly, deliver pragmatic advice, and influence senior stakeholders across borders. She also highlights the importance of developing leadership and commercial skills outside the comfort zone of technical legal work, drawing on her experiences in Big Law, Apple, and now Cowboy. Pola's final lesson is one for ambitious lawyers: if you want to lead, don't wait for calm conditions. Join a scaleup, stretch yourself, and learn on the edge. Now wearing dual hats in legal and HR, Pola offers rare insight into what it means to shape culture and governance in parallel, and why reporting directly to the CEO matters.

Welcome to today's episode.This one's a bit different – and a little sweaty.Last Sunday, I rode La Marmotte.One of the toughest Gran Fondos in Europe: 177 kilometers, four brutal mountain passes, 5,500 meters of elevation, and 36-degree heat.Let's just say… it pushed me beyond my limits.But somewhere between the cramping, the heat, and the mental battles, something clicked.This ride? It wasn't just about endurance. It was a mirror for entrepreneurship.Because the struggles I met on that mountain are the same ones I face in business – and I know I'm not alone in that.In this episode, I'm sharing 6 powerful lessons I brought home from the French Alps – straight into how I run my business, and how I mentor photographers like you.Lessons about grit, slowing down to go faster, not doing it all alone, and why taking care of yourself is the most strategic move you'll ever make.So whether you're halfway up your own metaphorical mountain or just setting out on the road – this one's for you.Let's dive in.website of De Donkere Kamer: www.donkerekamer.comsecret podcast: donkerekamer.com/secretmentorship: donkerekamer.com/mentorfill in the questionnaire here if you are interested!instagram: @dedonkerekamer_be
Tara Haig, General Counsel at Multiverse, joins Scott to reflect on a legal career driven by curiosity, courage, and instinct. From saying yes to opening a New York office two years post-qualification to leading legal, privacy, and governance for one of the UK's most prominent edtech scale-ups, Tara's story is all about leaning into discomfort, and figuring it out along the way. Now part of the exec team at Multiverse, a $1.7B AI-powered apprenticeship platform, Tara shares her take on three big lessons: embracing stretch opportunities (even when terrifying), understanding the commercial engine behind your business, and showing up with authenticity. Whether it's tackling GDPR in lockdown, raising a SPAC, or managing legal complexity across Series A to D growth, she's built a legal career that's anything but linear. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating scale-up chaos, growing their team, or trying to stay grounded while building something big. Tara also shares candid reflections on working from Kenya, raising twins, and why perspective, and permission to say no, is as important as saying yes.

Shelley McKinley, Chief Legal Officer at GitHub and Vice President at Microsoft, joins Scott to share career-defining lessons from two decades at the sharp edge of tech, innovation, and regulation. Now leading GitHub's global legal, policy, and trust teams, Shelley offers a behind-the-scenes look at the early days of GitHub Copilot, launched before ChatGPT put generative AI on the map, and shares what it really means to advise on emerging technology when the law hasn't caught up yet. She talks candidly about navigating ambiguity, making smart bets in fast-moving industries, and how the best legal advice can't be given in a vacuum. Shelley's lessons cover how to lead in-house teams with the right mix of legal and non-legal expertise, how to focus on high-impact work in a sea of meetings, and why building strong internal networks is a non-negotiable skill for modern legal leaders. Her reflections are sharp, grounded, and refreshingly honest, touching on everything from grunge music to paralegal strategy, Microsoft's legal transformation, and the FUD-to-FOMO evolution of AI.

Sam Plant, Chief Legal Officer at Müller UK & Ireland, brings a refreshing mix of humility, insight and honesty to this episode of Lessons I Learned in Law. From risk-taking in legal advice to speaking up about gender inequality, Sam shares three candid lessons that challenge the status quo.Leading the legal and compliance function across one of the UK's best-known consumer brands—yoghurts, milk, desserts, and a vast B2B logistics network—Sam reflects on a career shaped as much by mistakes as by milestones. He explains why embracing the right kind of mistake can sharpen commercial judgement, and why lawyers who never get it wrong may be playing it too safe.Sam also offers a counterpoint to the classic “say yes to everything” career advice. In his view, learning to say no—to roles, responsibilities, and scope creep—is essential for long-term success and team wellbeing.In a standout third lesson, Sam shares how he became more aware of his own privilege and began advocating for gender equity in law and beyond. His honest reflections on male allyship, everyday bias, and building trust with women in the profession are as powerful as they are practical.Guest Recommendations: • Book: Doppelganger by Naomi Klein • Podcast: Origin Story by Ian Dunt and Dorian LynskeyAbout Heriot Brown: At Heriot Brown, we help lawyers find fulfilment in their careers.

I have lots of cherished memories to choose from, but this is one of my all-time favorites.

Have you ever felt like your business is taking too long to take off? Divine timing in business is something I've come to deeply understand through my recent journey into motherhood.After going 42 weeks pregnant and experiencing a birth that looked nothing like my plans, I discovered profound parallels between birthing a baby and birthing a business. Both journeys asked me to surrender control, trust my intuition, and allow something bigger to move through me. I'm currently on maternity leave, yet I'm on track to make half a million dollars - without taking a single coaching call! This wasn't by chance. It's because I learned to create space for what matters, build systems that work without me, and trust in perfect timing.If you're in the in-between - no longer where you started but not yet where you want to be - this episode will remind you: you're not behind. You're right on time.Topics covered in this episode:What my 42-week pregnancy taught me about divine timing in business.What it means to actively surrender and why it's essential.Why nothing seems to be happening right before your biggest breakthroughs.What it actually looks like to create a business that runs while you're on maternity leave.How to build a business that honors your natural rhythms and energy.Resources from this episode:The Universe Has Your Back: Transform Fear to Faith by Gabrielle BernsteinTherapreneur: A Therapist's Guide to 3x Your Therapy IncomeTherapist to Coach Accelerator program

Roel Staes, until recently General Counsel International at FedEx, joins Scott to reflect on a 22-year in-house legal career that scaled from Benelux counsel to overseeing a 500-strong international legal, regulatory, security, and government affairs team.In this wide-ranging episode, Roel shares candid lessons from the top—on everything from managing complexity in global organisations to learning how to communicate with clarity, brevity, and precision. A strong believer in over-communication and having your “memory card” ready, Roel explains why lawyers need to proactively articulate their value, insert themselves into business conversations, and take ownership beyond the job description.He also makes a compelling case for win-win lawyering, drawing from hard-earned lessons negotiating contracts and managing sensitive relationships. Plus, Roel introduces us to the concept of healthy laziness—why challenging processes, improving systems, and questioning the status quo is a key trait of high-performing in-house lawyers.Whether you're aiming for GC, growing a legal team, or just trying to become a sharper operator in-house, this episode is packed with sharp, actionable takeaways from someone who's walked the walk across global legal leadership.Guest Recommendations:Emotional Intelligence Habits by Dr. Travis BradberryWhat Every BODY Is Saying by Joe Navarro (FBI body language specialist)La Voix du RAID by Laurent Combalbert (on hostage negotiation and business decision-making)About Heriot Brown: At Heriot Brown, we help lawyers find fulfilment in their careers.

Spring time always takes me back to the year 2000 and remembering my mother. She passed away that year and at the age of 19, I had to figure out how to navigate the world without her.

I want to share 5 of the biggest lessons I learned from her and I hope you give your mom a big hug the next time you see her if she's still here or call her just to talk.

Welcome to a raw, real, and deeply personal episode of Shift with CJ. In this solo session, CJ opens up like never before — not to teach, not to inspire, but to document. To reflect. To process. This isn't about pretending life is perfect — it's about unpacking lessons as they happen in real time. In this episode, CJ reflects on six powerful lessons from a week filled with chaos, clarity, and deep internal growth.Key Takeaways:Solomon's Paradox & Self-Advice You're brilliant at giving others advice… but often blind when it's your own life. Learn to pause and ask, “If my friend were facing this, what would I tell them?”Confidence Is Contagious Confidence isn't something you're born with — it's built over time, and it multiplies when you're around people who believe in themselves. Who's in your circle?Persistence Beats Talent Most people quit three feet from gold. The ones who win are the ones who simply don't stop — even when it hurts, especially when it hurts.Storytelling Wins Whether you're building a business, pitching a product, or trying to connect with others — facts inform, but stories move people. Start telling yours.Pain Is a Teacher, Not a Punishment Instead of asking “Why is this happening to me?”, ask “What is this trying to teach me?” This shift alone can turn pain into power.Life Is Short. Really Short. Tomorrow isn't promised. Breathe deeper. Forgive faster. Hug tighter. Work hard — but live even harder.5 Things You Can Start Doing Today:Use the Solomon Strategy: Next time you're overwhelmed, stop and imagine it's your best friend with the same problem. What advice would you give them? Now follow it.Audit Your Circle: Spend more time with confident, grounded people. Their energy will shape yours. Confidence is viral — catch it from the right sources.Track Tiny Wins: Create a habit of writing down 1 small win at the end of each day. This activates your brain's reward system and helps build real confidence over time.Craft Your Origin Story: Whether you're a founder, coach, or just someone figuring it out — write down your story. Why did you start? What do you stand for? It will become your anchor and your amplifier.Reframe Setbacks Instantly: Instead of spiraling, try this: when something bad happens, ask out loud: “What is this trying to teach me?” That one line can save your day — and your mindset.This episode wasn't just a podcast — it was a moment in time. CJ shared his dopamine highs, personal heartbreaks, business challenges, and spiritual reminders, all tied together with one intention: to help you grow through what you go through.

In this episode, I take you along on my sourdough bread baking journey and reveal the surprising style lessons I discovered along the way. What began as a TikTok-influenced adventure quickly turned into a personal exploration of perfectionism, fear of failure, and finding my own path. I walk you through my complete bread-making journey, from the overwhelm of too much information to the joy of finding my own approach.Through my story of exploding dough and burnt bottoms, I extract five powerful lessons that can apply perfectly to your style journey.Here's some of what you'll learn from this episode:Why fear of failure keeps us stuck in our comfort zones - with both bread and fashion - and how to recognize when your inner critic is holding you backThe crucial difference between collecting knowledge and actually practicing - and why watching all the YouTube videos in the world can't replace hands-on experienceThe turning point that came when I invested in proper education instead of drowning in conflicting internet adviceWhy finding a style approach that matches your personality matters more than trying to follow everyone else's rigid rulesMy expensive mistake in thinking success starts with shopping - and why using what you have first always leads to better resultsI hope this episode helps you recognize that mastering your personal style, like baking good bread, isn't about perfection or following every rule to the letter. It's about having the courage to start somewhere, learning the basics, and then experimenting to find what works for you. Remember that confidence comes from mastery, mastery comes from practice, and practice starts with courage. Some people think what you wear doesn't matter, and that it's frivolous to care about style. And for them, that's fine. But if it matters to you, it matters. Your everyday deserves to be dressed for, no matter what anyone else thinks.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/lessons-from-sourdough
