In this enriching episode of the Transformation Leaders podcast, Tony is joined by Niki Avraam, a dynamic lawyer, entrepreneur, and change agent.

Niki opens about her unconventional approach to law. She narrates the distinctive, transformative journey in the legal field that defied traditional norms and paved her path to success. Nikki's narrative highlights how rounding off the edges of traditional law practices can unlock doors to innovative practices, contribute to societal change, and drive you towards a fulfilling career.

As an intrinsically motivated ‘legal entrepreneur’, Nikki turned the tables within the legal profession. Nikki discusses her co-founding a commercial law firm in London and reveals the secret sauce - a work environment that cherishes diversity and encourages autonomy. This episode delves deep into Nikki's aspirations for the future workforce, a unique blend of leadership combined with personal life experiences that form a canvas of her professional accomplishments, and her perspective on transformation.

Underlying our deep-dive into Nikki’s passion for challenging the status quo is a compelling discussion on the essence of storytelling, transformation, and the ‘why'. Emphasizing the importance of operating outside comfort zones, we delve into fostering an adaptable, innovative approach to problems. Experience a discussion challenging traditional structures, especially in sectors like law, and uncover strategies to navigate resistance while aligning with the organization's vision.

Listen in as we zero in on organizational growth principles, focusing on setting clear company values, understanding key stakeholder needs, tailoring messages to their viewpoints, and fostering an innovative, fail-friendly environment. We conclude with insights into how a growth mindset can become a catalyst for organizational transformation. Join us in this riveting chat as we explore the landscape of change, transformation, and leadership with purpose.

Tony's guest today is Barry Robbins. During the show, Barry shares his view that he rarely sees a technology project fail because of technology. Technology is often symptomatic of larger issues, and we let it take the blame rather than recognizing the true challenges brought about by change. Often, it is poor leadership, planning, decision-making, processes, or risk management that are the real barriers to success. Blaming technology just helps us fail harder and more expensively. A really interesting discussion.
