Are you looking for insight into leadership approaches? How to foster better relationships? Want to pick up some tips for more effective communication? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you definitely won’t want to miss the latest installment of the Beyond Billables Podcast.
In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with the inspiring Claire Bibby. Claire is Senior Vice President Legal & General Counsel for Brookfield Properties. Claire’s considerable strengths lie in running a busy, award winning, in-house legal team, working at strategic and operational levels for her 4,000+ clients. She also (somehow) manages to find time to put her energy into nonprofit work with Luna Park and Marist 180. She also advocates for workplace wellness and speaks on the topic of women’s leadership.

She’s a seasoned professional who was kind enough to share with us what she’s learned about team building, being happy in your career, and perhaps most importantly communicating with people.
