During the first few years of Dina Cataldo’s career with the District Attorneys office, things took a turn. She was in the midst of prepping for trials when she received a diagnosis of breast cancer three years into her five-year plan for success. That diagnosis forced her to pause and reevaluate the way she was living her life.  It also forced her to face her fears and go after the life she truly wanted. 

Dina is a prosecutor, life and career coach, and host of The Soul Roadmap Podcast.

This episode originally aired as Episode 143 on May 7, 2018. 

After two decades, Lee Rosen figured out how to own a lucrative law firm without having to work in his firm 24/7/365. One he realized he could be the owner, not the practitioner, Lee found a team to run the business and then sold it. Now, he travels full-time while teaching other lawyers how they can build their practices into sellable businesses. 

Lee joins former host, Karima Gulick, in this episode to share how he built a lucrative firm, how he set up his systems that eventually helped him expand his business, and how you can build a solid business that allows you to work from anywhere.

Sexual harassment and bullying in the workplace occur more frequently than one would think. For many lawyers who find themselves victims of sexual harassment and assault, it can be difficult to speak up or seek the necessary help, especially in the workplace. They suffer in silence out of fear that speaking up will cause too much damage to their careers or that their reports won’t be taken seriously.

Joining me to shed light on sexual harassment, bullying, and what law firms should be doing to end workplace harassment is Lauren Rikleen, Founder and President of the Rikleen Institute for Strategic Leadership.  She is the author of the new book:  The Shield of Silence: How Power Perpetuates a Culture of Harassment and Bullying in the Workplace.

Lauren speaks, trains, and consults on a variety of issues relating to workplace culture including women’s leadership and retention, unconscious bias, multi-generational teams, and negative workplace conduct including sexual harassment.
