What happens when the next big startup knocks on your door? Do you jump ship? How do you know when you are ready for the next job (when to leave)? Have you someone to turn to when you are trying to figure out what to do next? How do we talk about ourselves, and how do we learn from one another?

We don’t spot the problem that is hiding in plain sight, why is that? Dealing with the taboo, someone has probably messed up, big time, but you are not sure - how long do you wait before you speak and why bother delaying. Can you deliver difficult messages? Is integrity the hardest quality to criticize - have we lost ethics along the way? How do you build a company that actually builds integrity?

In this keynote, Professor Mihir Desai will analyze the major economic trends shaping 2024 and offer insightful projections for 2025, with a focus on their implications for General Counsel. Drawing from his expertise in global markets, Professor Desai will decode emerging economic patterns and explore how legal leaders can navigate challenges and leverage opportunities. Attendees will gain actionable insights into the economic landscape and strategic foresight to support decision-making in the evolving business climate.

This session will be split into two parts. First the speakers will discuss how they themselves adapt to constantly changing goal posts and how they equip their teams. Next the speakers will candidly share how they have remained emotionally resilient. Expectations are only rising and it can often be hard to navigate the ugliness of certain pressures.
