Hear my interview “We Can All Use a Champion,” on the ALPS blog, on Podbean or on YouTube.
Without hesitation, I entrusted Ida with my mentoring and talent development needs at a large international firm and a smaller NY-based firm. Due to her broad depth of knowledge, she helped me roll out programs that were well received, have ongoing benefits and continue to grow with the needs of our attorneys. Ida understands the nature of law firms; she listens to us, hears what is unique to our firm, and works with us to tailor programs that succeed in our firm. Whenever I talk to Ida, she has a new, exciting idea on her mind.
