“I realized the reason I was so passionate about authenticity was because I hadn't had the opportunity to be that way myself in these corporate roles.” - Sarah Ennor

What does it take to be a different kind of leader in legal?

Sarah Ennor, Founder of Growth Counsel, is a former firm lawyer, and in-house counsel and compliance for big-bank asset managers, she felt the pressure to “fit in.” After receiving an ADHD diagnosis as an adult, she is on a mission to bring simple inclusion strategies to life through relatable stories. Culture, morale, and financial results improve when we marry revenue to respect, coach with curiosity, and begin to banish bias.

Sarah joins Megan Senese and Jennifer Ramsey to talk about what happens when you stop chasing credibility through control, and start building it through presence, curiosity, and trust.

You’ll hear about:

What Sarah wishes more legal leaders understood about team dynamics
The invisible weight of credibility, and how she learned to set it down
Why coaching helped her rewire how she showed up in the room
Her take on legal ops, burnout, and building trust in high-pressure roles
What makes a workplace feel safe (hint: it’s not perfection)
