Meet the Founder
Legal Leadership Expert & Coach
I’m Midja Fisher.
I started my career in the Big 4 consulting firms, became a solicitor and eventually a partner in a national ASX listed law firm. Throughout my entire legal career, I’ve been committed to achieving client goals and driving firm performance.
During my career, I realised the impact of effective leadership on firm success, and decided to pursue my true passion in learning and leadership development.
While the profession attracts people with great analytical and problem-solving skills, lawyers need more than just legal expertise to deliver exceptional client results.
From this, the Legal Leadership Project was born.
My vision is to cultivate a new generation of legal leaders equipped to meet the evolving demands of the legal industry and elevate their firm's success to unprecedented levels.
Throughout my career, I’ve mentored and coached over a thousand leaders at various stages of their careers and have facilitated hundreds of corporate workshops.
What do I do?
I help leaders to be their true authentic selves and to build confidence, trust and commitment.
I allow great leaders show vulnerability and share their personal stories.
I help create leaders worth following, who don’t get results from their people through mere compliance.
I lead and engage teams to achieve outstanding results.
I help organisations build team trust and see exceptional results in their leaders.
