Parker Waichman LLP’s Post

In a recent article published by Law360, Crowell & Moring International's new president Geralyn Ritter shares a story of resilience and perseverance in the midst of the tragic and unexpected. Not only does Geralyn share how her life story has impacted her personal life but also how it impacts her leadership as she steps into her new role at Crowell and Moring International. We continue to be amazed by her immediate impact and are eager to partner with her in our ongoing effort to shape global public policy.

In the first part of this session, we will become acquainted with what ethical leadership entails and discuss three sets of decision-making skills ethical leaders can apply when faced with organizational challenges, whether they are systems-based or interpersonal. In the panel, we will do a deep dive into the various components that make up purpose, and our three amazing panelists will discuss through their own experiences how their personal sense of purpose relates to the shaping of their professional identity and how they lead their respective organizations. It’s going to be a great session. #purpose #ethicalleadership #leadership Emory University Emory University School of Law

In my Africana Studies classes the discussion would sometimes come up about the statement, “I don’t see color.” And the issue with that statement is, if you don’t see color, you don’t see me. Visibility is important, hints the quote, “You can’t be what you can’t see.”, and the saying, “Representation matters”. Both of which speak to visibility…. His response was very spot on and well put. We can’t fix issues that are not visible, and therefore are not seen. And I state both because, though some things are visible to someone, that doesn’t mean that they’re seen by everyone. #Perspective #RepresentationMatters #DEIMatters

Interesting times ahead for the Partnership

Many thanks to Nixon Peabody LLP for organizing an important firmwide discussion today on Jewish Identity and Antisemitism in the 21st Century. The program, presented by the American Jewish Committee (AJC), was thought-provoking and informative. I was pleased to have participated from our Los Angeles Office, where AJC’s Richard Hirschhaut and Francine Lis joined us. It’s unfortunate that we need to continue these conversations — but we do. I appreciate our firm leaders stepping up to tackle this crucial issue. #fightinghate #standuptojewishhate #lawfirmleadership #lawfirm

As we celebrate the 4th of July, it is a perfect time to reflect on the essence of compromise and collaboration that is deeply woven into the fabric of our nation. At the Constitutional Convention, the Great Compromise between the New Jersey and Virginia plans for representation exemplified the spirit of listening and working together. This landmark agreement not only balanced the interests of large and small states but also laid the foundation for our democratic principles, showing that through dialogue and mutual respect, we can achieve solutions that serve the common good.This spirit of compromise extends beyond our founding documents. In our personal relationships, whether with significant others, family, or friends, the willingness to listen as much, if not more, than we speak fosters healthy, enduring bonds. In our professional lives, especially in diverse and dynamic work environments, collaboration and a readiness to understand different perspectives drive innovation and success. Today, as we enjoy the freedoms that our forebearers fought for, let us remember that these freedoms are best upheld when we embrace the values of empathy, respect, and cooperation. Listening with the intent to understand, rather than to respond, strengthens our communities and enriches our collective experience.Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 4th of July! Let’s celebrate the liberty that allows us to speak our minds and the wisdom to listen to others. (Fireworks in Morgantown are pretty awesome) #FourthofJuly #IndependenceDay #Compromise #Collaboration #Freedom #Listening
