Based on her inside knowledge of how law firms and the legal industry works, Ida can bring out the best in an organization. Ida spent the time to get to know our law firm and our people and worked closely with us to develop a program we could roll out nationally to challenge men to champion women in our workplace. Her work has had long-reaching effects, inspiring our attorneys to develop their own programs long after her presentation.As a public speaker, Ida is poised and her voice is powerful and reflects her experience as a senior lawyer and a coach. The ideas she brought in her interactive presentations have changed our firm's vocabulary around inclusion and our belief in what we are capable of accomplishing.
