Judgment Under Pressure: Lessons for In-House Counsel from a Former Detective

What does a detective chasing a man with a gun have to do with being an exceptional in-house lawyer? More than you might think. 

Join RSGC Founder in conversation with a former street cop and detective who profoundly shaped how she approaches leadership, risk, and judgment. In this candid and thought-provoking discussion, they’ll explore the unexpected lessons that translate from the streets to the C-suite.

From making quick, confident decisions with incomplete information to staying calm in high-pressure situations, to building the relationships that truly move the business forward, and influencing outcomes without relying on authority — this session will leave you with a sharper perspective on risk, influence, and executive presence when it matters most.
