GAWL West Georgia Chapter continues the “Lessons Learned from Women Who Lead” series with a podcast interview featuring Christina Baugh. Christina is a partner at Barnes & Thornburg and past President of GAWL.  In her current role as President of the Atlanta Bar Association, she leads one of the oldest and largest voluntary bar associations in the state.  Christina is a highly skilled leader who is unselfish with her knowledge and experience.

In this very timely interview with host Ebony Phillips, she recounts numerous lessons that she learned on her journey to becoming a partner at her firm.  Christina also explains why it is so important to unlearn the traditional notion of the “elevator pitch” and what aspiring leaders should replace it with.  According to Christina, we should all be re-evaluating our 5-year plans and the reason for this might surprise you. Finally, in a moment of complete transparency, Christina shares the one thing that we all need to do if we ever want to be truly happy.  If you need leadership inspiration or leadership advice, you need to tune in!
