262: How to Win Life’s Trials Without Losing Yourself Read to Lead Podcast

    • Management

One of the things I love about hosting Read to Lead is the wonderfully talented and interesting people it enables me to meet.

Today, that person is former trial lawyer Heather Hansen.



After 20 years of winning trials in the courtroom, Heather teaches us how to use those skills (asking questions, mastering objections, building credibility quickly and persuading effectively) to be better leaders.

Among other things, Heather and I discuss her new book The Elegant Warrior and her vast experience at helping others stand up for themselves and their businesses.

If you want to learn how to be someone who fights adversity with grace and compassion and battles without losing respect for yourself and your adversaries, then give this episode a listen.

* …and plenty more!
