Gorick Ng

For law firm associates (or other professional services). Many talented associates leave—not due to burnout but due to a perceived lack of career progression. Who stays? Those who’ve mastered the unspoken rules of building, inheriting, and growing a book of business. In this session, Gorick deconstructs the career paths of successful attorneys and the “invisible work” they did, step by step, to build relationships, build a reputation, and “grow the pie,” becoming the firm’s next generation of partners and leaders.

For HR and talent leadership teams. Want to build your next bench of leaders—but struggling to attract, retain, engage, and promote junior talent? In this interactive session, Gorick analyzes your firm’s talent acquisition, onboarding, and talent development practices from the perspective of your prospective and current front-line employees and then facilitates a discussion and brainstorm with your talent leaders on what your firm can do.

For people leaders. People don’t leave companies; they leave managers. Unfortunately, the vast majority of managers get zero training, leading to management through trial and error. In this session, Gorick shares the most common frustrations managers have towards their teams—and how tiny tweaks in one’s management approach can help people leaders help others help themselves.

For all audiences (especially individual contributors). What separates star performers from the rest? An ownership mindset. In this session, Gorick demystifies what ownership looks like and sounds like, from “level 1” (how school conditions us to behave) to “level 7” (what star performers do subconsciously) in some of the most common scenarios at work, from asking for help to managing projects.

For all audiences. Have a firm representative facilitate a 60-min live Q&A with Gorick on topics of your choosing. And / or, have Gorick design and moderate a panel with senior leaders of your firm along a theme of your choosing (e.g., how to navigate the unspoken rules of the workplace)
