In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Katie Minogue, a former principal at Maurice Blackburn turned leadership coach, about her journey as a personal injury lawyer, how and why she pivoted to being a facilitator and leadership coach, the demand for better leadership in the current climate, and what’s standing in the way of firm heads being better leaders right now.

Minogue also delves into what constitutes good leadership in the current climate, whether it’s more difficult than ever to be a good law firm leader, the questions that firm leaders must be asking of themselves ahead of the new financial year, whether leaders are actively prioritising such matters at this point, and how optimistic she is about the future quality of leadership in law firms.
