Fridays are for fun (work) things.

I know most people in your feed are probably posting *slams laptop shut til Tuesday* memes, but I’m here for those who are trying to stay just a little bit productive at the tail end of this day.

So I’m here to tell you: if there’s nothing urgent on your plate (yay!), but you’re having trouble getting motivated to work on a Big Strategic Thing, pick the one that seems like the most fun.

I am so fortunate to be working with one of the finalists in the LexisNexis ‘Legal Personality of the Year Award’.

Adam Woodhall is the founder & CEO of Lawyers for Net Zero. It is inspirational to be working with him and see what he’s achieved over the last 2 years. Several Champions have been raised as a result within the in-house legal community.

My best wishes to Adam.
