In this week’s episode…
Some of us crushed on boy bands as teenagers. Our guest Rachel Pusey, however, recalls crushing on California’s first female Chief Justice (in a lovely, inspired, non-romantic manner of course). On this episode of The Women’s Advocate, Rachel and Sarah talk about Rachel’s beautiful, evolving path through the law – a journey that has taken Rachel from representing employees to supporting employers, and, most recently, to a reinvigorated passion for employment law as a mediator. Together, we dive into the challenge and payoff of making bold career leaps, centering human connection in our work, and practicing emotional intelligence both at work and beyond. We further discuss the power of mediation as an alternative form of legal resolution that can help all the parties find common ground and reach agreements that relieve everyone from the ardor of formal litigation. Enjoy!
