Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of Women Influencers, I sit down with Michele Richman, Chief People Officer and Lead Coach at Lawline, an online continuing legal education company that began as a television program created by her parents.Michele shares how growing up in a family business shaped her journey from politics and prosecuting housing fraud for the Department of Housing and Urban Development to practicing personal injury law and eventually joining her brother at Lawline. Today, she leads professional development, coaches law firm leaders, and helps others build more fulfilling careers.We also discuss the moment Michele’s son renamed her “Productivity Woman” in his phone, inspiring her to reconsider how she saw herself and return to her love of writing. Her essays eventually became The Stories We Almost Don’t Tell: Finding the Courage to Tell Yours, a book exploring fear, grief, motherhood, accepting support, and finding the courage to share the experiences that shape us.“Your story matters. Your voice matters now. And the person who needs to hear what you have to say is waiting.” — Michele RichmanConnect with Veronica:https://capstrata.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/veronica-malolos-ccim-401649218/Connect with Michele:https://michelerichman.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/michele-richman/Buy her book:https://a.co/d/09ax5q5o#womeninbusiness #CRE #commercialrealestate #businesspodcast #realestatepodcast #realestatedevelopment #commercialdeveloper #entrepreneur #CCIM #womeninCRE
