We had the pleasure of working with Midja over two days covering all things leadership. She was engaging, knowledgeable and understood lawyers completely. We learnt so much about ourselves and took away many ideas for both our professional life and our personal lives. Thank you Midja, it was amazing!

I recently had the pleasure of a session with Midja as part of a conference. The session was engaging and insightful, and as a junior practitioner I took a lot away from the session not only for where I am now, but how to set myself up to be the type of lawyer and leader I hope to become. Thanks so much Midja.
