February finds us channelling the new year's momentum into the BAU, much like New Year's resolutions, which often focus on optimising energy and efficiency.
In this edition, we're excited to share insights from the legal team at Mercury (who literally channel power) and their shift to a business partnering model—a strategy that bolsters efficiency and adaptability. Similarly, Suzy Bull's adaptable role at Lightspeed showcases how flexibility in legal practice can enhance efficiency and strategic focus.
Our upcoming webinar on Unconscious bias is just the ticket for those looking to spark personal growth in their New Year's resolutions. Understanding how nuanced beliefs impact our judgements and decision-making can make our efforts more optimal and inclusive.
Here's to new beginnings, channelling energy wisely, and enhanced productivity. We wish you all the best with those resolutions.
Mauri tū, mauri ora - an active soul is a healthy soul.
