“I was born on third base.”

One of the most powerful leadership lessons from our conversation with Marc Landow.

A family name may open a door.

But respect, trust and credibility still have to be earned.

That’s how great leaders approach succession.

One of the greatest skills young professionals can develop isn’t technical.

It’s confidence.

In this conversation with Angela Acevedo from , we discussed how the school’s Corporate Work Study Program helps students build workplace readiness from the moment they enter as freshmen.

Students learn:
• public speaking
• workplace communication
• email etiquette
• time management
• how to advocate for themselves

And over four years, the transformation is remarkable.

Many graduates return from college saying they feel far more comfortable speaking with professors, asking questions, and navigating professional environments because they’ve already spent years interacting with adults in real workplace settings.

We’re proud to highlight the incredible work being done by Angela Acevedo and the team at Cristo Rey New York High School.

🎟️ We’ll place a link in our story to learn more about the upcoming “Magic of Cristo Rey New York” event on May 19 and how to support the school’s mission.

Silence around compensation isn’t a policy.

It’s a practice and it shapes trust.

In this conversation with Mark Shore of Atlas Consulting Services, we talked about why so many organizations hesitate to explain their compensation strategy.

Leaders often think:

• it’s too complex
• it’s too sensitive
• it will open up too many questions

But here’s the reality:

When you don’t communicate how compensation works, people fill that void with their own assumptions.

Transparency doesn’t create chaos.
It builds confidence.

And in a multi-generational workforce, that clarity matters more than ever.

Great insights from Mark Shore and the team at Atlas Consulting Services.

What separates mid-career partners who continue to grow from those who plateau?

I had a conversation this morning with a managing partner who boiled it down to three things:

1️⃣ Technical expertise and autonomy

2️⃣ The ability to delegate and collaborate effectively

3️⃣ The ability to build and maintain real client relationships

That third point matters more than many people realize.

The partners who are getting ahead aren’t just excellent lawyers. They’re visible, relationship-oriented and comfortable socializing with clients outside the office.

In many firms, that’s becoming a differentiator.

And over time, those relationships become critical to succession planning and long-term client retention.

At J. Sheppard Associates, we advise firms on leadership, succession and the evolving expectations around business development in a multi-generational workforce.

You wow them with salary…

You wow them with the office…

But what about benefits?

They’re one of your biggest investments. Do your people actually see the value?
