with Sheila Murphy, CEO of Focus Forward Consulting,
2019 Lifetime Achievement Award from Corporate Counsel’s, Women,
Influence, Power, in Law Award program, 2017 Leading Woman Lawyer
in NYC, by Craine’s NY Business, and staunch advocate for
propelling women forward into leadership positions.
Sheila speaks to the value of our self awareness, courage, and true potential. She offers us a glimpse into her failures (learnings) and successes, with the hope of helping us all to overcome our avoidances, and believe in ourselves.
She shares her philosophy on making successful transitions, creating lasting relationships, and encourages us to continue to ask questions rather than be judgmental of our own journeys.
In today’s episode, we discuss:
-
What drew Sheila to law initially, and what inspired her to move past any obstacles in her way
-
How a single moment drove her to change everything about the way she practiced law
-
Where she learned that the stories and limitations we tell ourselves are not an indication of our real potential
-
The relationship between success and self-awareness
