According to Lisa, lawyers and BD professionals are wasting their time having random acts of coffee.

In this podcast Graham and Lisa discuss:
- How clients and firms will win by making BD professionals client-facing.
- Why the empathy revolution will help lawyers, BD, marketing and communications professionals stay employable and relevant in the age of artificial intelligence.
